The way rape cases are carried out needs serious overhauling, as it stands the victim is put on trial just as much as the rapist and victim blaming is rife in the system. Too much bias and bull**** gets in the way of establishing one core fact that determines guilt or innocence, did the accused have consent? Everything else doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what the victim wore, what she had to drink, what she was doing prior to the crime happening, all that matters is consent and whether or not she gave it or was even in a position to give it.
