Analysis
A life sentence is the highest form of punishment for rape in the United States. However, it is unclear how this case would be dealt with because the alleged perpetrator is below the age of 18.
Rape reporting is generally very low in the United States just like in many other parts of the world. It is also very rare for men to report sexual assault against them.
