It's been two years since the #MeToo movement erupted, toppling many powerful men accused of sexual misconduct.
Some guys who were ousted for alleged sexual misconduct started talking about their comebacks practically nanoseconds after they were accused. But the pace of those actually doing it seems to be picking up, with comedian Louis C.K. returning to headline comedy shows, former U.S. Sen. Al Franken launching a new podcast and a radio show, and one-time TV political pundit Mark Halperin offering commentary on radio and publishing a new book. Their alleged offenses run the gamut, as do their expressions of remorse, fueling questions about what a road back should look like and who should travel it and when.

I know someone who was raped. The effects of crimes like rape can last a lifetime. They do more than damage an individual. That individual may never feel safe again, have panic attacks and deteriorating marriages as a result of the damage that is done. Right now sexual predators are housed in homes in neighborhoods after doing time. This in itself can leave some uncomfortable walking in the area. The result can be a form of imprisonment for the victim of a prior crime. Add to that, the difficulty of rehabilitating serial offenders and the rate at which they repeat their crimes is scary for those involved. We need far more work on this.
