The trial of Krzysztof Bartoszuk, 47, began last March after the conclusion of the case in Austria against Josef Fritzl, who was found guilty of imprisoning his daughter in a dungeon for 24 years and fathering her seven children. The parallels led the Polish media to dub Bartoszuk the "Polish Fritzl. Prosecutors had sought a 15-year sentence, arguing that Bartoszuk used unusual violence and extreme cruelty. But [Janusz Sulima] said the court imposed the lesser sentence after determining there was a lack of evidence of extreme cruelty or unusual violence.
It's not safe there at all," said 16-year-old Jennie Steinberg, whose mother let her transfer out of the district Tuesday. "I'm not going back. "This was a barbaric act. I still cannot get my head around the fact that numerous people either watched, walked away or participated in her assault," Lt. Mark Gagan said Tuesday. "It's one of the most disturbing crimes in my 15 years as a police officer."
What's most unusual in this case is the way the accused has embraced change and turned his back on a developing criminal lifestyle," [Rod Garson] said. "The accused's rehabilitative efforts should be preserved and encouraged. Garson based his opinions on a court-ordered pre-sentence report and submissions from the man's lawyer and fiancee, who described him as "awesome" with children and an "excellent" father to their two young boys.
Imagine landmines planted on your doorstep of your house and the very real possibility of being raped, tortured or having to flee from your home at a moment's notice. Welcome to the world of [Zoya Phan], the "girl from the jungles of Burma. Now 28 years old, Phan has written a memoir to inform the world about the sad state of her homeland. Half autobiography, half expose, the book is a gripping account of a young woman's courageous struggle to escape one of the world's most despotic regimes. Yet, despite her many hardships, Phan's positive attitude always shines through. The term "victorious personality" comes to mind in describing her attitude. Author Gail Sheehy first coined the phrase in her book Spirit of Survival about her adopted, war-affected daughter from Cambodia.
Deykin and Buka (1997) examined the prevalence of PTSD among 297 adolescents (75 female; 222 male) who were receiving treatment for chemical dependency at public residential treatment centres. As assessed by structured clinical interview, trauma exposure was reported by about 75% of the sample with no significant difference between the girls and the boys in reported trauma exposure (i.e., 80% vs. 73%, respectively; χ^sup 2^ [1, N= 297] = 1.47, ns (see footnote I)). The most common traumatic events for the girls were rape, seeing someone hurt or killed, physical assault, and threat of injury.

Queen's Bench Justice Daniel Kennedy had found the man guilty of sexual assault following a short trial earlier this week. The Crown's case was not hurt by the fact that they were missing a key piece of evidence -- the DNA of the victim's baby. That's because the teen victim had an abortion at a private clinic without consulting with police in the spring of 2005.
[Robert Kociuk]'s lawyers urged jurors this week to find Kociuk not guilty, saying [Leonard White] had a lengthy history of violence against women and even attempted suicide on the day Dyke's body was found. Police and justice officials have always discounted White's claim, saying they believe he falsely confessed in an attempt to stay in prison with his gay lover. Police testified last week White had a history of making bogus confessions and only knew facts about Dyke's case that had already been revealed publicly through the media. White claimed another man named "Ricky Morris" raped Dyke, but police said exhaustive police efforts could find no evidence such a person even existed. That's impossible. It's not mine. It can't be mine," a Kociuk told homicide detectives in a videotaped i...
Every time [Leonard White] came up as a parole candidate, he had a story. He wanted to stay in Sask Pen, he had a boyfriend there, didn't want to leave," [David Shipman] said. White claimed another man named "Ricky Morris" raped [Dyke], but Shipman said exhaustive police efforts could find no evidence such a person even existed. "Every day, I think why did I do it," White continued. "He raped her, I stabbed her. Right in the chest, she tried to stop me, I kept stabbing away, stabbing away.
