A US judge has prompted outrage after saying that a rape victim didn't put up a fight during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sex, the body 'will not permit that to happen.'
Judge Derek Johnson's comments, which echo those of outgoing U.S. representative Todd Akin, who used the phrase 'legitimate rape' and said women who are the victims of rape rarely get pregnant, have drawn widespread condemnation.

None of your whole crusade here has anything to do with this rape case. We are not here to discuss how things turn out for women in other cases. Whenever you state things like this in a topic on rape, it makes it look like you almost condone the rape because you're bitter of women and to be honest it is not becoming of you. Take this somewhere else into your own topic. We are to discuss this rape case here.
