Has anyone been following this story? From what I've read, it was a pretty horrible sexual assault with the victim waking up in the hospital the morning after.
The now convicted rapist was given just a six month prison term. The father's statement to the court was published and it's absolutely outrageous. I haven't followed the story beyond the stuff that got posted to my twitter feed, so it's possible I'm missing something. (And if I am, please share it).
I generally don't believe in the whole "rape culture" thing, but in this case it's hard to argue. For example, the defense was allowed to question the victim on what she was wearing that night.
Here's a link to a story about the outrage over the sentence and father's statement. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/07/u...tatements-of-victim-and-attackers-father.html
