Ok ok .this is gonna go on forever............
maybe the number one thing we could learn from this story is.......
Dont go home with strangers.
I think this implies there was some kind of fault on the victim's part... and that's what she was, the VICTIM of an appalling crime. Rape is rape whether the victim got into a car or whether it's someone who goes back for coffee and then says no. That she accepted help and a lift makes no difference at all. It doesn't give these despicable people the right to attack her. They perpetrated a terrible crime on this woman and the legal system should have thrown away the key after locking them up.
Let's just get away from the ludicrous comments that you sometimes see afer rape cases, like: "Oh well she was wearing a short skirt" or "Well, she had been drinking" or "She should never have accepted a lift". There's no excuse, it's a terrible crime and the rapists should be hit with the full force of the law whether they are nationals or expats.
