Rape is no respecter of victims' disposition and status in the society as it is no respecter of time and place. A prostitute's cry of rape may be preposterous to us, however, let us be objective with the whole inquiry because however we take the word of the complainant against that of the accused, and vice versa, it is ULTIMATELY still about CREDIBILITY. am getting way off the topic here. sorry.

I mean who wants to get raped? it is called rape in the first place because it is done against her will or consent. waht can make a victim go through the huniliations of public trial, retell gain and again the harrowing and nauseating ravishing done to her, have her private parts examined by a medico legal officer and nevertheless subject herself to mockery by people if it were not for the sole purpose acquiring justice and retaliation against her perpetrators.the writer is right to aver that a cry of rape is not an emotional nonsense. for me, it is but the least thing to do to be heard by those who regard victims as nothing but prostitutes who didn't get their asking price. has anyone watched the 1980's film, THE ACCUSED starring Jodie Foster? watch it.
