Sentence is correct, but the article title sire does pussyfoot around the word rape.

I think it’s the same problem as youtube. Words like rape and pedophile lowers ad value on the article.

Aw man, I didn’t notice until you pointed it out. Why is news media always so reluctant to say rape even when the rapist has been convicted?

Harming a child like that is probably the worst thing one person can ever do to another.
