Drake Gearheart,

"Absolutely they should. Why would it be different from any other type of crime where you can sue for damages and punitive awards?"

Ryan Stuckey,

KU student,

Lawrence

"Yes, to cover the cost of any personal injury that might have occurred."

Jennifer Buck,

waitress,

Lawrence

"Yes, because I think that rape is just like any other crime where the attacker is liable for damages or injuries done to a person."

Jeremy Auman,

Lawrence

"Oh yeah, because it's a crime and they're victims so they should receive compensation."
