Subject: RE: BS: Madeleine McCann - Possible Suspect
Cases of rape are very much a two-way street in this respect
It is the least prosecuted of all crimes, the hardest to prove and one with the least successful prosecutions
Women bringing these cases are submitted to ordeals in excess of the rape itself
Men found guilty are seldom regarded as the villain of the piece, while women who win their cases are stigmatised because the defendant invariably claim "she wanted it to happen
In small towns where everybody knows everybody else, women who succeed in their claim are often forced to move
In my opinion, a woman prepared to submit herself to such a situation, almost certainly has grounds for doing to
The introduction of drugs like Rohypnol have worsened the chances of successful prosecutions considerably

Until the disgustingly unjust way of manner in which these cases are tried are thoughtfully cleansed, I believe they balance has to be shifted in some way - positive discrimination
Anonymity has exactly the opposite effect
