""So, go on, now tell me you would feel as sorry for her""

I've just said I wouldn't, or don't you actually read what others say?

That is immaterial. It just cannot be allowed to carry weight in a court of law.

Find some way to express greater sympathy that won't result in a rapist getting away with it.

I repeat THERE ARE NO DEGREES OF GUILT IN CASES OF RAPE!

And the victim of a crime IS NEVER TO BLAME for the actions of the criminal.

Black and White.   NO grey ares! No matter how undeserving of sympathy the victim may be, the damage suffered is the same.
