What if the penalty was rape?

Propaganda leading up to the US invasion of Iraq spoke of rape rooms, where agents of the Iraqi government would rape a man’s wife in front of him in order to coerce him into giving information or otherwise punish him or gain his compliance. This, according to the United States government, was but one of the many  causes for war.

Today, I read a story in the Washington Post about a Texas police officer by the name of Jackie Len Neal, who allegedly raped a motorist during what was an otherwise routine traffic stop. According to NOLA.com, Officer Jackie Len Neal, is an 11-year member of the San Antonio Police Department, and has been placed on paid administrative leave as a sexual assault case against him is pending.
