Hidden Crimes

The powerful message Ms. Winfrey sends that sexual abuse or abuse of any kind will not be tolerated is going to change lives as much or more than the educational opportunities she is providing her students. It gives me hope when I see an individual in Ms. Winfrey's position actually investing, not just money, but her heart into the lives of children. It is time for all persons of means to step up and change the world.

I am a criminal lawyer from South Africa. I have had many years of experience as both a prosecutor as well as a defence attorney. The fast reaction by the police in the Oprah case is indeed extremely rare. The general attiftude among many in South Africa is that rape is a petty crime. I immigrated to this country once the spate of baby rapes started. Rape is unfortunately a way of life for many South Africans.

Ophra may find this situation devastating, but the publicity and her reputation have made a terrible and secretive situation one that is now in the open. You can bet she will do as she has always done when she is determined- she will make a difference!

God Bless Oprah! the work she does is so valuble to humankind. She is a powerful woman leader and role model for all women. I believe, "Nothing in Creators World happens by accident" Oprah and those young women carry the torcch to bring about major change.
