We all have a past and at times our prior actions might creep up on us and hit us in the face. Our “character” might be questioned depending on the situation. At times, it is honestly acceptable.
If a person wants to become the President of the United States, I think that society has the right to be informed about the person’s past and characteristics.
If we meet someone and would like a future with them, I think that it is important to know everything about the person and their past.
But when a man abuses a woman, at times the woman’s character is questioned. Still in today’s society, the victim is the criminal and the criminal is the victim.

FACT: The movie, The Accused was a true story about a woman named Sarah Tobias who was gang raped in a local bar. At the time of the rape, three men cheered the attack.
