The judges words in this rape case are really compelling.

Awful case of rape - seems (although we don't really know) opportunistic tale of a young woman walking home from a night out.
Judges words are really good.
Very stark about how he's made woman look over their shoulders because of his actions. And how it's cowards like him who need to change their behaviour and not the woman.
We need more statements like this.

The rapist lived in the same block of apartments as my exH (and DD10 when she's with him) so the case was v close to home for me. The whole community has come together over it - so relieved to see the judge's opinion on it. Disgusting man, hope he gets everything that's coming to him

I'm just down the road from the bridge so close to home to me too.

Very well said that judge. I sometimes go over that bridge, it's chilling.
I drive under it everyday and I can't help thinking how scary it must have been for her.
Especially as I'm sure people drove underneath at the time and she must have been pleading someone would notice and help.
Absolutely agree with above poster too that we shouldn't have to be grateful a judge has recognised this.
I long for the day this is simply the mindset.
