New Contemporary Novel

A new contemporary novel, Vindicating Vicky, raises issues about sensitive topics such as child-abuse and morality, which also gives rise to the question of how child rape should be treated in court. Should child rape be a capital crime? What kind of sentencing should child rapists receive? Wherever one stands on the issues, it can be agreed that child abuse of any kind is a most serious and heinous matter that requires our utmost attention.
