It's a complete travesty of a trial but indicative of how most rape trials go. Rape trials are just character assassinations of the victims where they are untrustworthy until proven otherwise, it's not wonder report rates of rape is so low, who would want to put themselves through that?

The way rape trials are handled must change because the way this and so many other rape trials were handled were beyond disgusting, these rugby players were not on trial, it wasn't a trial about rape, it was a trial determining how many ways the court could blame the victim for what happened.
