Consider a young woman of sixteen years of age that was a victim of rape. The young woman was taken to hospital for a month due to her physical injuries: broken pelvis and jaw. It is valued that a patient per day costs a hospital $200 for physical treatment which is paid in full by health care services. Moreover, the young woman is required to attend psychological therapy, twice a week, for at least six months after being released from hospital where costs per session are $150 for psychological treatment, where only 65% is covered by special mental care services.

After the month in hospital the young woman had to hire a part time care health worker (up to 3 times per week) that allowed her to recover fully from her physical injuries during the following three months. The health care worker charges $500 per day while relevant medicines required for this three month recovery period add up to $1,000. Only 65% of these charges are covered by health care services.

The young woman fears to be a victim again of this crime in the future and has stated that she would be willing to pay $100 per month to avoid this eventuality in the future up to two years.

The young woman has a leave of absence from work for the three month recovery period. The young woman used to work at a gas station for minimum wage $14 per hour for part time work (4 hours per day, five days a week).

The sexual offender was detained and convicted to one year in prison with no benefit of parole and was sentenced to pay for reparation damages to the victim a total amount of $20,000.
