Rape with Impunity Rape with impunity occurs repeatedly all around the world. Rape with impunity is when someone gets raped and the rapist does not get any consequence.

Bruises and broken bones are some physical effects that follow sexual assault, also pain all around the body and bleeding from abused body parts. Even if the outside of your body does not have dramatical damage, the damage is in the victim’s mind.

They can easily go back to sexually assaulting people, just like they were doing before they were sent to
