A case like this (involving both the nature of rape and the nature of "actual crime") touches the very core and bottom of what "justice" and "law", and "democracy" with its "freedom" is about: it is NEVER about the victim and what "actually happened", but about how society, "public opinion", through its "cilial" judiciary and legislative system, feels about something.
Thence that stupid old phrase going "paying one's debt to society".
