  • I find this article very good to read and well represented for which I commend the author. However, the case itself is terrible. This is typical behaviour from a lawyer/person who has no idea what rape or sexual abuse does to a person. Some days you feel fine and others, cannot get out of bed for fear of the person who did this to you. One naturally tries to put it behind them, depending on the person, and will try and move on with life as much as posible once they feel they can. I certainly know of cases where people will just carry on as normal as a defence mechanism, I know that this is not the case here as the victim tried to take her own life in 2003, but why shouldn't she go out and have some fun after all that she has been through. Good luck to the girl and hopefully the lawyer will be dealt with accordingly by the justice system. I suggest that if this lawyer or another person representing a case such as this does their himework as to the effects rape can have on a person, and thats ALL the effects!!!!
