From 1978 to 2015 it was basically legal for non-native (whites) to rape Native American women

Due a legal loop hole native americans could not charge non native American people with a crime and as a result there was targetted rapes of native women on reservations that are not under federal jurisdiction. 80% of raped native American women claimed their rapist were white. Usually truckers and casino visitors would come in and rape and leave :ohhh:


There was even online communities where men would encourage other men to visit reservations if they wanted to rape a woman and not face punishment.

Found this shyt fascinating this loophole was allowed to exist for so long.

In 2009, I had the honor of meeting a woman named Lavetta Elk who in 2003 was assaulted near her home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation by her Army recruiter Staff Sergeant Joseph Kopf. By strategically choosing to assault her on Indian land, he leveraged his identity as a non-Native person to get away with his crime. This is the reality for many Native women because the jurisdictional law that covers Indian country privileges non-Native people who commit crimes specifically against Native people. In Lavetta's case, because she was Native and Kopf was non-Native, the tribe couldn't prosecute him. The federal government then declined to prosecute. The US military investigated and found that Kopf had in fact sexually assaulted her, but they never prosecuted him. They never even discharged him from the military. As the result of the jurisdictional mess in Indian country, Lavetta was told that there was no justice to be found for her.

Despite this, she did not give up. Instead she aimed higher, and sued the US government for reparations based on treaty rights and won, culminating in one of the most significant legal victories for Native people in recent history. But remember, despite this, her assailant did not pay for his crime—the United States of America did, and Kopf is still a free man.

They probably didn't do anything to protect themselves from jail. Natives get beat up and roughed up by cops everyday. They don't wanna catch a murder charge for no white man

Stop dap fishing :ufdup:

It is fascinating in absurd way such an egregious loophole has been open so long.

After further reading, it seems it still isn't closed. The current law only addresses mostly domestic violence issues and not fully address the issues .
