around at their follower and then cross the street if he continued to follow to head for the nearest house breaking the window if necessary to get help the cruelty of rape can leave its victim in such a shattered state that for months afterwards even such basic things as choos ing what dress to wear can create a turmoil she said she said the centre formerly the rape crisis- centre was founded to help victims deal with ev erything from making deci sions to listening to them as they relive their ordeal to seeking reforms in law to aidthem although the speakers said that the term rape clear up

speakers said they were completely with out sympathy for the rapist they should all get life with a whip said mrs ross she said she would like to see them put in prison with the rest of the inmates
