AIBU to find these comments odd regarding a rape

[MarthaCliffYouCunt]

A woman was raped locally and the accused's bail application was heard today. During the hearing the prosecutor said the following;

"The attacker had no regard for the fact this woman was conducting an innocent activity, and no regard for the fact that passers-by could have come upon the scene."

Firstly, why is the nature of the woman's activity even relevant, let alone that it was "innocent"? (She was walking her dog in a public park) she could have been stabbing someone to death and rape still wouldnt have been justifiable!

Secondly, why should there be more concern for passers by who might happen upon the scene than for the actual woman that was being raped? why is that even mentioned?

IS HER TRAUMA NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT WRONG?

These comments have really annoyed me, probably more than they should, but thought i'd see what others thought?

Perhaps they actually do let rapists out on bail in that area and the prosecutor was trying to avoid it in this case?

It's common in every area.

My rapist was even let out on bail for 2 months following conviction, despite a lengthy custodial sentence being inevitable. The response I got when I complained made it clear that it's pretty normal.

One of the standard bail conditions is that the defendant will have no contact with the victim, a former partner for example - but here the prosecution is pointing out that it could have been any women and so that this particular condition wouldn't be of applicable

It's interesting that this gets taken into account. Mine was a stranger case, but bail was still granted with a condition not contact me. Bizarre.

Anyway, the fault is with our shitty legal system (and society) which doesn't consider that being a rapist automatically makes a man dangerous. It needs addressing

Yes, agree.

Theyve committed a violent crime. Theyre dangerous.
