[wolf63]

In some parts of the world women are treated badly. It seems that Italy might be one of those places.

I wonder how he would know that?.

LOL Danny!

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe they reconstructed the alleged crime ?

As Cloverjo has intimated.......we are not in possession of the evidence provided by the prosecution and defence to support or negate such a judgement.

At least we take it very serious here in the UK, thank goodness.

I don't know if any of these other newspaper articles give any other information.

//Rockrose I would like to say I am shocked - but I'm not!
Rape is not dealt with worldwide seriously enough imo. //

Seems the Scots do not treat multiple rapes and murders on young women seriously enough either.

This monster was let in and out of Prison faster than a fiddler's elbow for various murders and rapes where he received so called life sentences but was released to re- commit similar crimes.

If the right-on do gooders had allowed this scum to hang in the first place how many young women will be alive today. Shame on them.

As boaty wrote earlier, in the case of the Italian verdict, " They will do it again!"
Why give them the oxygen?

We all know that judges can have a severely restricted grasp of reality.


I recall a case in which a man followed home a woman he had been chatting to in the pub. broke down her front door, and raped her.

The judge advised that she had ' … given him a reasonable expectation that sexual intercourse would take place at the end of the evening … '

which honestly beggars belief.

That poor woman, she has had no justice.

I don't care if she looked like Giant Haystacks (ask your parents) - physical attraction is not a measure used by rapists.
