        Agreed, but I find it even more inhuman and bizarre when the victim is really old or really young. I know it’s about the power for psychos more than it’s about the looks of the victim but I guess I still have trouble conceptualizing how they can do that to someone so helpless. Not trying to write off any rape though, every single one is a tragedy.

          The way I see thing, this is a very dangerous way of approaching the matter.
          Imagine how a young adult that is a bodybuilder/athlete/etc that has been raped, would feel if they stumbles on something like that.

            Yeah I get what you mean. I’m just going to shut up because you’re right; my ability to conceptualize what would bring someone to do something horrible doesn’t do much but potentially hurt actual victims. Apologies if I’ve hurt anyone with my rambling.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Wednesday said it has filed war crime charges against four members of the Russian military accused of abducting and torturing an American during the invasion of Ukraine in a case that’s the first of its kind.

    The American told federal agents who had traveled to Ukraine last year as part of an investigation that the Russian soldiers had abducted him, stripped him naked, pointed a gun at his head and badly beaten him, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said.

    Independent human rights experts backed by the U.S. have said they’ve found continued evidence of war crimes committed by Russian forces, including torture that ended in death and rape of women aged up to 83 years old.

    The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin in March for war crimes, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.

    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia doesn’t recognize the ICC and considers its decisions “legally void.” He called the court’s move “outrageous and unacceptable.”

    The U.S. and Russia do not have an extradition treaty, but the Justice Department has brought repeated criminal cases against Russian nationals, most notably for cyber crimes and including for interference in the 2016 presidential election.
