Considering anywhere from 40-60% of black girls are sexually assaulted in one form or another before leaving high school, I'm all for anything that will help with that. Most black girls are assaulted by black men, meaning our brothers, husbands, sons, cousins and pastors. I'm sure we all know of someone who is a molester or suspected of it. It's such a prevalent issue in our community with little being done to change it. Hopefully this helps.
At least a handful of other states have similar laws including Georgia, Texas, California and Florida. Georgia's seems the most restrictive since it applies to victims 16 and under, could apply to 1st offenders and it's discretionary. I'm sure the discretion is very biased.
It seems like Alabama's is for victims under age 13 and is mandatory, I think. I like the mandatory part, since it leaves less room for bias and judgment calls.
If it helps, I'm all for it. Considering these victims will suffer for a lifetime, I'm more than okay with the offenders being medically inconvenienced for a lifetime. Either this or lock them away forever is my stance.
