It defies comprehension. A defence lawyer implying the 14 year old victim of a gang rape was drunk, and making allegations about her sexual history? As a means of defending the alleged ringleader of the gang rape?
Did he truly believe it was a genuine defence? Did he think a magistrate would find this persuasive? And most sickening of all, what if he’s right?
