I think this girl/woman is milking it for all it's worth. Does there not seem anything odd to you about this...

I think she led him on, he was probably drunk out of his head and now she's playing the victim. Real victims don't say things like what's she's saying. They're not all dramatic like she is being, and they really hate the people who committed the act against them. They don't ask the locals "please don't judge me"... they get on with their lives.

"She added that Foley had effectively got five years for sexually assaulting her, but that she had to live with that for life." ==> what a dramaqueen. She's playing to the media, parroting away what she heard she's supposed to feel like. People like her disgust me.

It was only a single incident. She wasn't raped. I know it's a very serious thing, but she doesn't have to live with it for the rest of her life. She'll forget about it.

He got five years in prison for that? I think it's ridiculous. I blame the media and the unnatural way we're brought up. It's all messed up. People are so extremely sexually repressed that they don't understand how to deal with things like this. The judge probably thinks he's such a valiant knight putting 'scum of the earth' away while the girl thinks she's a courageous woman. And worst of all, people are unable to think for themselves.

Well that's all I have to say on it. But before you come in on your high horse, just think that some day you too might be the real victim, the person noone believes because it's not "the cool thing to do nowadays". And spare a thought of that poor man sitting inside in jail tonight because of something that he did on the spur of a moment.
Ah come on now Nicegirls, getting raped or being sexualy assaulted does damage you psychologicaly. I dont think she will foreget about it. She may in fact never be able to trust men again or feel comfortable alone with men for the rest of her life. Since when does rape have to happen on more than one occasion for you to classify it as rape?

Now you are right about the laws having to be at at least tweaked a bit. The law does come to favour the womans side and conderms the man for any unwanted advances towards a woman. That does seem fair enough in principle, but the reality can be different to the theory. For example if a woman is scorened and wants to get revenge she could always play the rape card and the man could go down for it. Or both parties could be intoxicated and the woman in theory could say that she doesnt remember giving consent or totaly denies consent and it is up to the man to prove his innocence on the accusation of rape
