My husband raped two women – and I had to answer for his crimes

Restorative justice looks a bit naive to me. Sociopaths would thrive in this kind of system. Maybe I should rephrase it as "sociopaths would thrive even more in this kind of system".

Thought of this story this morning when I read that a prominent UK politician would have the investigation into his alleged sex crimes dropped as he'd died.

It kind of highlights the argument this article makes. The accused is dead, so there's nothing more to be done according to the current system. The closure of the people who are making the accusations, or the people who might want to ensure that systems have been put in place to prevent this happening again aren't considered part of the process.

this is not necessarily moral or right but I can feel some resentment towards women who go for (violent) criminals.

however they still need to be treated as anyone else. it cannot be a cause for getting fired and any civilized nation would prohibit that.
