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.

And - interestingly - they chose NOT to prosecute the husband and sister-in-law responsible for pressuring the woman into withdrawing the allegation. Even though, last time I looked, it pressuring witnesses is PRECISELY the problem 'conspiracy to pervert' law is supposed to tackle.

Misogynist AND lazy.
