4. I was listening to one of my podcasts today

and they happened to be talking about the different kinds of rape. If I remember correctly, they are:

1. Power/control rape (probably most common)
2. Anger/rage rape (the rapist is angry at women, or gay people, or trans people, etc)
3. Sexual desire rape (fairly uncommon, according to the podcasters)

The podcast, incidentally, is Crime Junkie, and the podcasters are quite interesting. One is a professor of criminal justice. Each week they discuss a different case, and this week's case was the Pettit family of Connecticut. I commend it to you if you are interested in such.

There was a case similar to this a few years ago in Hamilton County, TN. One victim suffered such severe injuries that he had to have a temporary colostomy and nephrostomy for awhile because the broomstick rape ruptured his bladder and colon. He could have died but he was in such severe pain when he got home that his mother took him to the ER immediately. Unfortunately (IMNSHO) the perps were kept in juvenile court, but the basketball coaches and (I think) an assistant principal all got fired.
