Rape Victims Come Out in Vermont as Debate Grows
Vermont discussion on rape and reform grows as victims speak out and lawmakers draft a revised rape law. The proposal would remove corroboration requirements, limit character evidence, redefine rape to include men, and create four degrees with staged penalties. Vermont figures show 62 reports in 1975 with limited convictions, while advocates push for fuller reporting and stronger protections.
