Couldn't be the "right-On sister" movement, could it? |

At the moment the ones I hear about are done by footballers, I don't know the details what happened but seems to me everyone was pissed or stoned had a threesome they can't remember what happened and assume it's rape. Or had good rampant sex with a footballer and trying to get money and set up a false allegation. |

I'm far from convinced by this "unreported" tabloid myth; I actually believe the reason for the low conviction rate is that most are simply NOT rape. It's the definition of the word we need to tighten up and clarify and - in my opinion - other crimes need to be established that are not "rape" but should still be punished. |

Although there are too many cases of people been falsely accused of rape, the fact is that a large percentage of rapes go unreported. This is due to many factors including the thought of not been taken seriously and the stigma of been raped, and also the fact that convictions are so rare that most women don't see reporting it as been futile.
Equally I don't think that having sex whilst been intoxicated of your own free will is grounds for rape, as Harriot Harmon was trying to make law a few years ago. |

I wouldn't dream of being that specific, Andrew, without knowing much more detail about the case than simply what's reported in the media. |
