“My underwear being shown in court and my SATU examination report being read out was another out of body experience”. Talk about hurting the victim even more
Obviously rape if he assaulted her while she was passed out, and didn’t stop when prompted.
The only reasonable use for making her underwear a discussion during the trial would be the defends trying to intimidate the victim.
The only part that is ridiculous here is the attempt to make it sound like he forced her to drink the alcohol:
“He said the landlord was replenishing her glass with brandy without asking her.”
This is why so many women don’t bother bring their case to court. When I reported my experience with SA at a work party to the guards (and detectives), they couldn’t have been more empathetic and kind.
However, the courts are absolutely vicious to survivors – they’re allowed to read out notes from counselling sessions, and show your clothes and underwear to the jury, just like what happened to this woman.
If we want women (and anyone who gets sexually assaulted for that matter) to report rape, the court system needs to change.
*”In the trial, the defence lawyer told the jury: “You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a thong with a lace front.”*
*The 27-year-old man was found not guilty of rape shortly afterwards.”*
Rape culture & victim blaming still alive & well in Ireland.

Jeepers I’d love to scroll down thru reddit sometime and not constantly see headlines like this 😞
Wait so this guy is allowed to be a landlord still, and he’s not named? So he can just rape another female tenant at any point? Am I wrong or is he not allowed to rent his property anymore to women?
The Irish “justice” system is there to ensure that criminals are treated as though they are the victims and the actual victims can go fuck themselves.
You can see it time and time again. Especially with concurrent sentencing. You can spend the same amount of time in jail for raping someone once as you can for raping them multiple times. It’s almost like the “justice” system is saying “Well, you’ve already been raped, so being raped a 2nd/3rd etc time doesn’t really matter”
Shit like this is what leads to people taking the law into their own hands.
It’ll be interesting to see how lenient the judge will be with sentencing him. And how many “mitigating circumstances” the judge will be able to pile on.
You, yes you. Stop scrolling down. It isn’t worth it.
