I don't entirely blame the jury. They are a symptom of the system ill equipped to handle these cases.
I'm afraid that no truly fair system can handle these cases better than our current one.
Sexual abuse is not a problem that is best solved through punishment. Like so many other cruelties, it must be solved through education. Teaching our sons the value of consent from the earliest age, removing long standing stigmas surrounding sex and sexuality, becoming a society where "good touch, bad touch" and the "bathing suit area" are as common knowledge as 1+1=2.
Those who place their own pleasure over the safety and well being of others must become relics of the past, but the only way to ensure this is to better educate the young men and women of the future.
