The same thing happened in a town called Orange that I used to live in. But the man was let off scot-free because the jury decided that because the woman asked him to use a condom it was consent. How would that make you feel? Knowing that 1) You've been ***** 2) You had to re-live what was probably the most traumatizing event in your life and that the end result was that the rapist got off without so much as a week in prison. It eats me up inside.
