Judge says 'Woman's body should have prevented rape'

[Stephanie]

That Judge is an idiot, whatever country he is in.

I am fairly certain that his legal career will come to a swift end on the back of his personal opinion


"The commission found that Johnson's view that a victim must resist to be a real victim of sexual assault was his opinion,

not the law. Since 1980, California law has not required rape victims to prove they resisted or were prevented from resisting."



I think Ireland has a similar law on the books, since 1982 ??

What's on in the UK ?

In Ireland and the UK it's not on the books as such, it's a common law position.
