A friend of mine sent me this via email today

QuoteFive men have been cleared of raping a woman after it emerged she had spoken online about group sex fantasies.

The 24-year-old from Liverpool claimed she was raped after visiting one of the men at his home in Bolton, after making contact on the internet.

But the trial at Preston Crown Court collapsed when computer evidence was produced showing her entertaining the prospect of group sex.

Judge Robert Brown ordered the jury to return not guilty verdicts.

Prosecutor Michael Leeming told a jury the case involved allegations of rape and conspiracy to rape at a house in Great Lever, Bolton, on 19 June.

As my friend commented

QuoteIn other words, if a woman admits to having sexual fantasies, she asked for it. If she is forced to undergo elements of those sexual fantasies as part of a violent assault, her rapists and attackers committed no crime, because she had no 'credibility', no 'morals'. Apparently, it is impossible to rape a woman with no 'morals', where male recalcitrants get to be the judge of what is and is not moral. Apparently, when a woman admits to having 'entertained the notion' of being sexually experimental, that's a green light for men to rape her. And they have the gall to call feminists the cocking thought police.

Is that just a figure of speech or did the judge just say "fuck you plebs, I'm making the decision here"

I thought it was the jury's job to decide for themselves?

Other than making sure there's no filth about when I'm at-it I really never had much interest in teh law.

I am less bothered by the judge's actions than by the prosecutor's. If the prosecution pulled the case and offered no evidence then I am not sure what grounds there would be for an appeal. We would need to see the evidence to be able to make a judgement - pretty much like a jury really . . .

PS Isn't it a good job that she didn't have rape/murder fantasies then they could have got away with . . . I know, you get it

Afterthought:-
does this mean that courts will uphold the rights of people to have their sexual fantasies acted-out . . .

hmmm that could be a pretty slippery slope . . .

Right, because when the day comes, that one of us gets his head bashed in by agents of the Machine, we were asking for it long time ago, because we have "fantasies of how government works".

Jesus fuck!  You think the world can't get any more fucked up.  And then, well, it goes ahead and does get more fucked up.  Where do I get off?

Personally I don't. I tend to think I'm incapable of imagining how fucked up the world can get  :horrormirth:
