She Did Not Ask For It!!!!
Jul. 6th, 2011 05:34 pmA young woman (23 years of age) in my family was raped last week. She was sodomized and fisted. This resulted in lacerations and internal damage. Several hours later she was able to get to a phone and call her step mother for a ride to the hospital. There was blood everywhere. It was really bad.
While at the hospital, one of the detectives told her father "these girls ask for it". He said that the case will not go beyond the DA's office, even though they know beyond any doubt who did it. This because it occurred after a party and is dubbed date rape. He was her ride home. When he made advances, she declined. He forced his way inside and raped her. NOBODY asks for what happened to her! She is hurt both physically and mentally. The detective isn't the only one saying that she asked for it. I just can't comprehend how people could imagine women 'ask' for something like that! Damn it...NO MEANS NO!
The rape crisis center has been very supportive. It is too bad that the same can't be said for everybody else.
