Those who feel they are mistreated have little recourse and may be shunned for seeking outside help. Mary Byler was raped over a hundred times between the ages of 8 and 14 by her brothers; she had to leave the Amish community to have them prosecuted. David Yoder, who grew up in a conservative Swartzentruber Amish family, recalls one man who committed incest with his daughter and was punished with 90 days of shunning. Yoder's girlfriend was also repeatedly raped by her brother-in-law, who was ultimately shunned for two and a half months. Some groups have also been accused of tolerating severe physical abuse of children.

Depending on the guy's age at the time, maybe he was sexually abused or something.... who knows, but regardless, it is senseless to take revenge on innocent girls that where not even born at that time, the guy was a sicko, nothing more.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
