[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone acting like the victim was some old lady adult and the predator was a little boy? He was a MAN at age 19 and she was 23. BOTH young adults.  [/quote]

Yes, It is another disgusting attempt to blame the victim. Calling him a "teenager" to make him seem less culpable for his actions or was lured by this "older" woman. It's bullshit. 
So horrified by the people defending him or blaming the victim.

It is seriously so gross. He could have still been IN high school, and would still be a rapist. It's old enough by far to know those actions are wrong. And honestly it's not at all out of the norm for young adults a year or two out of college to continue partying with college students if they still live in the same town. There was lots of this when I was in college, not unusual at all, at frat or other parties. [/quote]

Sounds like she was kissing and dancing with a teenage freshman and then went behind a dumpster where she passed out dead drunk in the middle of fooling around.  Should he have stopped what he was doing?  Yes!  At that point it became an assault.  Was it a cold blooded rape of this woman?  No.  Was it a humiliating and devastating thing to have those crime scene photos taken of her splayed out, passed out body?  Yes, of course.  Were the rape kit tests and photos at the hospital pleasant?  No, of course not.  Was telling her sister and her parents about what had happened to her absolutely heartbreaking?  Yes, of course.  Was it fun for those male jurors to see that evidence?  No - that mostly male jury didn't want to see that and probably wish that they could unsee it now.  But they now get to live with those images haunting their dreams.  So do the young swedes.

There are no winners in this.  Both Brock and Emily have had their lives forever changed.  Try to learn from this nightmare and teach your kids to be respectful and kind to one another.  These two both made terrible mistakes that they can't undo.  Hopefully others will learn what NOT to do and what is NOT o.k. from their examples.  It is not o.k. to touch a passed out/unaware person in a sexual way.  It is not o.k. to drink yourself black out drunk to the point where you don't remember what you did and what happened to you and pass out .   [/quote]
