And some people question the conventional wisdom that says many, many rape cases go unreported in the US and other countries each year because women are afraid and/or ashamed to come forward.
Look at the quote below, and you'll see why conventional wisdom is right: because a woman can't trust that anyone will treat her with an ounce of humanity after being raped:
Why would he want to rape her? She doesn't look like a day at the beach.Any ideas who said it? Nope, it's not the defense attorney making a sleazy attempt to exonerate his client.
It's the judge presiding over the rape case. He made that comment after looking at a photograph of the battered victim, shortly before the defendant pleaded guilty to the crime.
