PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES - Abused and Betrayed

IMO:  This is another crime that my gut response is to have the perpetrators slow-roasted over hot coals.

"Sex abuse against people with disabilities is widespread — and hard to uncover" PBS NewsHour 1/17/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  People with developmental disabilities become victims of sexual assault at a rate seven times higher than those without disabilities, according to a Justice Department figured uncovered by a year-long NPR investigation.  Judy Woodruff sits down with NPR’s Joseph Shapiro and Nancy Thaler from the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs, to discuss why the problem has received little attention.
