The poor, poor woman. Facing a year in jail for being gang-raped.

Who wouldnt retract their statement whilst having no proper legal representation, in an strange place, draining your family's money every night you stay there all whilst knowing 1 percent or something stupid of cases ever result in a conviction. Think I'd say forget it and go home too.

I believe her.

I have always believed her. Poor woman.

With this it's hard to see reasons why someone would report a rape. I know the reasons, but with this treatment and consequence it's no wonder rapes don't get reported. Poor woman, I hope she gets justice somehow one day. I believe her.

It’s beyond awful, that poor woman. I believe her. Why aren’t the foreign office all over this?

This is horrific. That poor woman. We believe you. We're so sorry this happened to you. It's not fair.

I believe her.

Let's hope she gets to come home as soon as possible and start recovering from this.

The arrogance of the judge ignoring psychological reports from the UK

I think she was telling the truth.
