So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

    It doesn’t matter, because this is not about felony convictions. This is about a rapist in the workplace.

    Quite frankly, rapists need to be jailed for life in order to prevent situations like this in the first place. Rape is one of those crimes for which one should not be able to move on from.

      So what you’re proposing is anybody convicted of sexual assault be imprisoned, for life, with no possibility of parole or reform. Is that correct?
