Unhappy

Rape regardless of culture is not about sex, it is about power. These men overpowered this woman, she was 18 years old when it happened, and she had to have been covered fully.

1000+ years ago, this would make sense. However, this is the 21st century and people can be civil and co-mingle without becoming violently abusive to make themselves feel empowered in civilized societies.

Grant, homegirl in that culture should have known better, but like most "teens", she made a very poor choice that has gross consequences in that area. Moreover, it is a human rights violation against the UN charter...

So this thing is going to give some people political fodder to spew and exploit this girl's situation...

Was a "rape kit" done on her?
