After a while the fact that a rape occurred appears secondary to these people--or what the victim pretty much deserved. "She was asking for it" is an explanation that refuses to go away, and it's a rapist's mentality.
Did you ever watch the movie "The Accused"? The movie was about the GANG of sweet little rich, college boys who were arrested and tried for raping a woman in the bar in view for many to see.
Of course, *the accused* was the rape victim. She was in a bar. Her no and screaming out for help didn't count because she wasn't virtuous enough.
