Page 538 TITLE 34—CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT § 21303 1 So in original. Probably should be followed by ‘‘of’’. conviction occurring in less than 5 percent of rapes. (5) The clear and convincing evidence stand- ard is the most common standard for termi- nation of parental rights among the 50 States, territories, and the District of Columbia. (6) The Supreme Court established that the clear and convincing evidence standard satis- fies due process for allegations to terminate or restrict parental rights in Santosky v. Kramer (455 U.S. 745 (1982)). (7) Currently only 10 States have statutes al- lowing rape survivors to petition for the ter- mination of parental rights of the rapist based on clear and convincing evidence that the child was conceived through rape. (8) A rapist pursuing parental or custody rights causes the survivor to have continued interaction with the rapist, which can have traumatic psychological effects on the sur- vivor, and can make it more difficult for her to recover. (9) These traumatic effects on the mother can severely negatively impact her ability to raise a healthy child. (10) Rapists may use the threat of pursuing custody or parental rights to coerce survivors into not prosecuting rape, or otherwise harass, intimidate, or manipulate them. (Pub. L. 114–22, title IV, § 403, May 29, 2015, 129 Stat. 256.)
