Monkey money! Nothing can replace the dignity a person loses from being violated by a monster of a human, who has no regard for the sanctity of another person’s body. It took me a day to go to the story after it broke last week. A female security guard, posted at a perilous location, was raped while at work.

A sum of $10 million was awarded by the courts to the victim. In real terms, this is probably close to the annual salary of the person, who made the policy decision that led to somebody’s daughter being exposed to a most heinous crime.

Assuming that there are juridical guidelines which allowed for the court to hand down such a sentence, the pain and suffering is lifelong. However, the money is paltry in spite of how much it looks like.
