The mainproblem with related sex crimes is much more complex than simply thegruesome acts that are related to the crimes and the fear they bringto the community. This is because the crimes are coupled withstereotypes with respect to victims and myths that surround theunderlying situations which make not only the investigation stagedifficult but also their prosecution.
