Tiger Gray’s Reviews > Ted Bundy: Examining The Unconfirmed Survivor Stories > Status Update

I am so tired of this author claiming that people who don't report their rapes and assaults are complicit in further crimes done by that offender. No, they are not. The only person responsible is the offender. If she would like more people to come forward, perhaps focus on making a society and a justice system that isn't hostile towards victims.

No disrespect to the author but I am not sure what the point of this book is. I think there is something to be gleaned from it as far as discussion of details etc. and I understand that the author is also an assault survivor (she discloses this in the book). But so far, they don't believe any of the victims and I am uncomfortable.

I detest the victim-blaming in this book. One may doubt Rhonda Stapley's story (one of the most recent people to come forward as a victim of Bundy) but to suggest that, if her story is true, she bears responsibility for his future murders since she didn't report him is ridiculous. Rape victims, especially those inundated with LDS shame and blame, are not responsible for what their abusers go on to do.
