I don’t get this clothing idea, if what the judge is suggesting that the girl was dressed in inappropriate and provocative clothes and asking for sex. Then it proves that the judge was not up to the job he was in command of, being narrow minded and obviously has the same problem as the rapist. He is classing any woman that dresses in the same clothes as this poor woman as nothing less than whores. Does he not realise that I would think 60% of most 16 year olds in the summer dress that way in England, and it might be more.

I think rape in any form is the most degrading thing that can happen to either sex, and it changes the attitude of that person for the rest of their life. It might go away but it will never disappear, it basically tarnishes the act of love. Rape is rape unless seen through rose tinted glasses by people that have never been raped.
