Yet again, the system punishes rape victims.

This report is unspeakable: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-11707903
Here we have a woman punished for being intimidated by her rapist. It's clear that the judge in the case believed that her allegation of rape was genuine, but he and the prosecutors still value public male time more than her safety, her mental health or her well-being.

That was my feeling. I can see that _technically_ she perverted the course of justice, but I cannot see how charging her helps with anything at all.
