We live in a culture that fails people who are raped. Most people know someone who's been raped and the perpetrator got away with it.<br /><br />A minority of genuine rapes that are reported get to court, and of those a small minority secure a conviction. That being so, it means that there is a tendancy for people to believe that acquitted people are still guilty; that is often the case. <br /><br />However, as you say, it does also mean that there is no way for falsely accused people to have their name cleared. This is why, just because most times accusations are real and most guilty people walk free, we cannot presume all accusations are true.<br /><br />Regarding sexual relations with activists, what happened to those people is rare, and its exposure rarer still. There is a well defined concept of rape because it is commonplace. This rare thing fits that definition in many ways but not in others. It is something untested in law.<br /><br />It is far, far beyond a man merely lying about his background or the fact that he is married. There is certainly a strong case for saying that these women were not giving informed consent. One of them has said she regards it as 'like being raped by the state'. If it is not rape, it is definitely something as serious as it. <br /><br />Regarding Colin Stagg, I don't know how coercive that officer was; it may amount to sexual assault. It cannot constitute rape.merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-20393484915743834272013-11-04T20:48:58.215+00:002013-11-04T20:48:58.215+00:00Don’t you think it's just a big a insult to ra...Don’t you think it's just a big a insult to rape victims as those falsely accused of rape to say that if someone's failed by the police in a investigation it's rape ,or if a undercover P.C sleeps with someone who's in a activist group that this is the same as rape too, what about Lizzie Davis undercover P.C who let Colin Stagg touch her breast and fondle her, if he admitted to killing Rachel Nickel. was she guilty of attempted rape of him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
