Surely this is leading the witness?<br /><br />I have no words for a justice system that refuses to admit the crime of rape because the victim is insensible. In the UK if the victim cannot give consent due to intoxication or is insensible then that is rape (a footballer has been done for the very same crime). "Rubbing the back" is NOT consent. There are few enough successful convictions for rape without the system further stacking the odds against the victim. This 'Brock' should be put down and out for a very long time; how about 30 years?Helen Lashbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806155400041511316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-68118795497178905052016-06-06T19:47:47.589-04:002016-06-06T19:47:47.589-04:00Again, Absolute filth, the lot of them.Again, Absolute filth, the lot of them.designing wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003391063934306188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-46304690443037844182016-06-06T19:15:42.188-04:002016-06-06T19:15:42.188-04:00#jadedj

Not excusing the rapist (and he is is one), but that was a hell of a role model he had growing up. That attitude objectifies women...and degrades the beautiful act of sex itself. A whole horsey pile of macho bullshit.
