Two prominent men were recently convicted of rape, but many attacks still go unpunished, according to a report by Der Spiegel. The article points to a recurring problem. In many cases, the victim does not realize they are experiencing rape, and the offender may not know that what they are doing amounts to rape. It says rape cases often involve a situation where the people involved know each other. That familiarity can shape how both sides interpret what is happening, and helps explain why some crimes may not be reported or recognized in time. Even when rape is later brought before a court, the report suggests the wider pattern remains that convictions are the exception rather than the rule. Latest status: two men have been sentenced for rape, while the overall issue of unpunished cases continues.
