Indonesian woman, raped by Dutch soldiers, compensated after 67 years. Will our colleges and military be compensating and apologizing for rapes decades from now?

 

The Dutch state has been ordered to pay compensation to an Indonesian woman who was raped by several Dutch soldiers in 1949, when Indonesia was still under Dutch rule.

 

The woman, who was 18 at the time, will receive €7,500 in what is thought to be the first successful compensation claim for a war crime other than execution.

7,500 euros for rape at gun point? Seems like the Dutch government got off pretty cheap.
