The Problem With Sex Crimes
Sex crimes are not just rape, and there is a wide range of offenses: sexual assault, incest, child pornography, child molestation, indecent exposure, bestiality, and many more.

According to data by RAINN, in the United States, there’s an estimation of more than 463 thousand victims aging 12 or older who are victims of sexual violence (rape and other forms of sexual assault). In addition to another report by Statistica, in 2019, 406,970 women and 52,336 men were raped or sexually assaulted. Especially with the increased internet usage, online sex crimes continue to grow. The government must create better laws when dealing with sex crimes to raise awareness of the importance of protecting society from sex crimes.
A sad reality is that the law and justice system often do not support or side with victims. With power, money, and fame, many celebrities can get away with sex crimes without facing serious consequences. ..

The entertainment industry is full of secrets and glamour. Celebrities who seem to have perfect lives may be imperfect and grosser than we thought. Plenty of stars have been accused and found guilty of sexual assault, but are still able to work in the entertainment industry and even get more popular. People are quick to blame and cancel the victims, but give these perpetrators free passes. How many more victims should there be? How much more celebrity sex offenders should there be? To finally have justice for victims, we need to support them, protect them, and get the justice they deserve. Be careful who you idolize and look up to in the entertainment industry. ..
