Yup, the system is utterly ****ed when it comes to how Rape trials are carried out. It's the victim on trial and not the defendant. It shouldn't come down to whether the victim's actions 'invited' the attacker on, it should come down to one simple fact, did the defendant have consent or not?

When you look at the low conviction rates of rape across the board I wonder why anyone bothers reporting it. It's a ****ing epidemic and has been since time immemorial and the courts won't equip themselves with the right attitudes or approach to cases to deal with it.
