A young woman who said she had been raped went on to kill herself after the Crown Prosecution Service put her on trial for making up the allegation in a case originally instigated by her alleged attacker.

A bit speechless, so have just cut and paste initial para - sorry

The accused rapist is showing a video of him having sex with a dead woman?

Because, let's face it, that's the only way you'd be able to 'judge for yourself'

Get a fucking moral compass.

Imagine how fucking great your life would be if you felt like you had the right not only to rape women, but to then dictate how they should behave after you raped them. I mean you'd be a worthless, despicable sack of shit, obviously - human garbage - but your life would be incredible.

[Tim1984]

You're right. Buying £337.98 worth of sex toys (including dildos) just after you say you've been raped proves nothing. Lol.

[PuffinsAreFictitious]

Awww Tim, how would you know that? Bit of a confessional there?

[Tim1984]

I saw it on //www.eleanordefreitas.com

So you are saying that she said she was drugged and raped at 2am but then at 11am she is captured on cctv shopping for sex toys with the man she acused. Not only is she buying things like dildos anal lube etc. She is also kissing him and looks pretty fresh faced for someone that was allegedly unconcious a few hours before.

I think there's a reason she was on trial: Guilty as charged.

[Tim1984]

Even the police described her as a liar. Listen to that police recording on the website. Both CPS and Police thought she was guilty. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly as deranged as she was.

[PuffinsAreFictitious]

Think I might avoid websites where clicks are treated as support and a balanced view isn't given, but away you go.

[Tim1984]

Yes best to avoid the evidence and stick the "story" in case you change your mind.

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

You can LOL if you like, Tim, but buying £300 of sex toys does prove nothing, and if you knew anything about the effects of rape, rather than just thinking you do because you've heard a few rape myths, you would know that. So you can say until you're blue in the face that it's not something a rape victim would do, but you'd still be wrong.

[Tim1984]

Or rather you could say until your blue in the face. Basically 94% of "rapes" are false. Check the statistics.

[RufusTheReindeer]

Can you link to those statistics tim

[Tim1984]

Oh no I'm so offended by those remarks. Why don't you report me for rape?

[grimbletart]

Ah, so no source then Tim?

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

Basically, 94% of rape victims will never see their rapist convicted.

^ There. Fixed it for you, Tim. You made a tiny, but very significant error. I'm sure it must have been a simple typo though.

[RufusTheReindeer]

Oooohhhhhh!!!!!

I wanted fairy tales...sorry statistics

Where are they tim?

[RufusTheReindeer]

You know this poster reporting thing

Can you report someone for being a twat? Or does it need to be more specific?

Does anyone know?

I've got no one in mind to report, I'm just curious

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

Yes, you can report someone for trolling, rufus.

[RufusTheReindeer]

Thanks sabrina

Evening all,

Thanks for your reports about this thread.

We think this might be a good time to link to our We Believe You campaign.

And one poster in particular could benefit from taking a look at this list of rape myths we're challenging.

Shame he'll no longer be able to join in the discussion...
