TITLE 34—CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
§ 21303

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.
