Judge Melbourne Inman QC: "“
they would consent to anything with anyone", "they were ‘slags’."
Defendant, Rashid, 20,
"the girls had enjoyed the sex". Not disputed.
Does that sound like rape to you?
If that is rape, then rape isn't that bad. This distracts from the real rape people suffer.
Biased reporting:
"The two Telford victims, aged 15 and 16, were abducted and lured to a Birmingham apartment where ringleaders Amar Hussain and Shamrez Rashid repeatedly attacked them."
Accurate reporting:
"Two Telford teenagers aged 15 and 16 voluntarily went with a 20 and 21 year old they knew to their Birmingham flat to have a few drinks. Then they willingly had sex with them because they were horny."
Biased reporting:
"they were extremely vulnerable"
Accurate reporting:
"they were under 18 and therefore considered automatically "innocent" and "vulnerable" creatures who have no idea what they're doing."
Biased reporting:
"They suffered a 36 hour ordeal"
Accurate reporting:
"They voluntarily stayed the night and left after having breakfast and some coffee in the morning."
