00:00As it's written, Maryland law allows accused rapists to seek custody of a child conceived during the attack.
00:14That judge in the criminal court sentenced my client to 16 years of an unwanted legal relationship with her rapist
00:22and she's supposed to tell her three-year-old little girl, go on a visit with the man who raped your mom?
00:29Hit your mommy?
00:40I spent two years of my own life fighting my attacker for custody of my daughter
00:46and it's what prompted me to go to law school.
01:00I think that the problem is that it goes back to the suspicion that legislators have of raped women.
01:07And not only that, some women have been threatened by their attackers
01:14who have said, if you stop the criminal process against me, I will agree not to seek any custody or parental rights.
01:29No, that is not true.
