Yes, that is the general perception. But I'm telling you there are women who have healed completely.

He was 20 when he said that. I'm not saying he's a nice guy. But no one deserve to lose their family completely.

I'm not minimizing the trauma of rape. I'm saying apparently it is possible to heal completely though.

I know it sounds extreme, but that's how she expressed it. It's like being grateful for something really terrible, because it eventually brought you to an even better place.

In that interview above, with his flat mate, before he was famous, apparently Russell said his goal was to sleep with 5000 women. I'm not sure what causes men to rape though. I mean how would you reform a serial killer for example. I guess the only real way is to have an awakening.

I think the point is she found a way to heal completely. Which means her level of consciousness was now higher than before the event. Hence, as crazy as it sounds, some form of gratitude for the perpetrator exists.

Yeah, I'm not sure if there actually are official programs to rehabilitate rapists.

I was speaking of healing from the victim's perspective there.

Yeah, I think DMT changed him a lot. I hope he gets off the weed at some stage though.

Not to minimize the trauma of rape, but there does seem to be this perception that it's impossible to heal completely from such an ordeal as the victim. I remember once speaking to a coach, who worked a lot with rape survivors. He spoke of this one client who had healed to such an extent that she referred to the rapist as her liberator. ie the process of forgiveness, acceptance of what happened etc, brought her to a completely new place of awareness and self love.

And then he have Mike Tyson for example who's well respected again today.

And that would be natural also. Asking someone to wait 20 years is unreasonable

20 years, Wow, that's some loyalty.

And Russell was able to kick heroin. Which means that mentally he should be strong enough to survive in there.

Yeah, if he does 3, his family might still be there when he gets out.

And you need to be willing to sacrifice the results of that brilliant move also.

If you were the judge, how many years would you give Russell ?

How Megan Kelly reported on this.

clearly you do care about this trial

He has gone through quite a transformation. Kicking heroin would have been no easy feat. He has a wife and kids now. But showing up bare chested to a rape trial probably won't gather him any sympathy during the appeal process.

Interesting, yeah I think it's the max security prisons which might be more hectic. Orange is the New Black, isn't that about a women's prison though ?

Have you done some time ?

@Joshe This is what Russell will be dealing with. And I have a feeling he won't get special protection.
