I know rapists are terrible and forgiving them is not belittling the heinous crime they have committed. But if you are related to a rapist, for example if your son or brother is committed of rape, and after they have repented and served a full prison sentence, would you want everyone in your community to forgive your son or brother? Knowing that the guy has turned over a new leaf, would you still want everyone to keep kicking him or to give him a chance to lead a normal life? Most viewers here take the side of the victim, but if you are on the other side, and the rapist is your family member, how will you feel?
