I don't think it says anywhere whether she did or didn't force herself on him... in fact, I think that's the implication with what the barrister is saying. Once again, I assume people will think I am excusing the man - I am not. It just seems that the media is projecting a victim personality onto the girl when there is no indication that that is the case; if anything the evidence points to the girl actively pursuing the encounter and the man taking advantage of that.
