Death Of Three Young Ladies Backpacking...
News9 mins ago
Judy Finnigan
When I saw the headlines this morning I had a sharp intake of breath - surely a woman wouldn't 'excuse' rape?
However, having now seen a transcript, what she actually said was (lifted from the BBC website);
"If he does go back, he will have to brave an awful lot of comments," said Finnigan during her debut appearance on the lunchtime programme.
"But, having said that, he has served his time, he's served two years.
"The rape - and I am not, please, by any means minimising any kind of rape - but the rape was not violent, he didn't cause any bodily harm to the person.
"It was unpleasant, in a hotel room I believe, and she [the victim] had far too much to drink.
"That is reprehensible but he has been convicted and he has served his time."
Ultimately she's right, isn't she?
As unpleasant as this man is, he has served his time, and therefore shouldn't he be allowed to continue to pursure his chosen career?

What an amazing thread.
Here's a true story why I think you need to listen to other people andy.
My point is about sex and alcohol.
A young lad I worked with had to phone his dad to get round to his flat because there was a girl and her mum banging on his door trying to get in.
They were accusing him of raping the girl the previous evening.
The previous evening someone had sex with the girl (apparently against her will) any a massive bust up ensued. A girl thinks she's been rape a man is a cussed of the rape.........not a nice scenario.
How was it resolved?
It turns out the boyfriend of the girl turned up at the party, had sex with his girlfriend and then bugggered off to town. She was too drunk to remember!
I agree with the people who say there are different degrees of rape.

I assure you, I do listen to other people, how else would I know what their views are, and whether or not I agree with their views?
I am not sure how your story is relavent to this thread, or your perceived need for me to listen.
