Firstly please can we not speculate about the guilt or not of the men involved. A thread got pulled last week because of speculation and it would be good to keep this one up. I was horrified last week because the media reported that the victim "denied being attracted to celebrities". AS if being attracted to celebrities is a crime and as if being attracted to someone is carte blanche for them to rape you. Tonight I read the victim has been on the stand for 8 days, 7 of them being cross examined by the defence. She spent 4 hours being questioned today. amp.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/are-you-calling-me-delusional-tense-court-exchanges-as-student-in-rape-case-on-stand-for-eighth-day-36597479.html She's not on trial here. I think this is absolutely disgusting treatment of a victim. I'm surprised the judge is allowing it.
