"I`m sorry I forced you to have sex with me."
Do you think such a text message is an "iron certificate"? If a woman showed you this text message, would you believe she was assaulted?
Victim in the case, Kate (Kate).
Kate (alias), a mother in Queensland, Australia, has been harassed, stalked and even rape twice by her ex-boyfriend.
According to Kate, "he calls or texts every five minutes."
Similar harassment text messages, Kate received more than 2000 messages.
And when Kate doesn`t answer his phone, he sends a terrible threat message: "if you don`t fucking answer your phone, I`ll drive through the gate!"
When Kate decided to stand up and sue rape`s men, the strongest evidence she had was the text messages.
"I can`t let myself have no desire for you, I can`t make myself less coerced."
"I`m sorry to have forced you, but it`s not your fault that you don`t think about me anymore. I still love you. "
Time Jun can not help but ask, this big brother, is there any misunderstanding of "love"?
"I can`t stay in a loveless home. All I want is love."
"I want to hug you, kiss you, be close to you, but you don`t want it anymore. At least not with me. "
"I`m sorry to make you feel threat."
Clearly is the perpetrator, but is a victim posture. Hurt others, but feel that he is the world`s most pitiful person.
"I won`t hurt even one of your hair."
"I`m sorry to force you to have sex with me."
These text messages, also do not know is straight man cancer or schizophrenia, does not the sexual relationship against the will of the other party is not hurt?
After all this, how do you judge?
Even if the man had many reasons and pain, even if he was emotionally hurt and suffered a great deal of heartache, he could not be a reason to commit a crime.
Unexpectedly, the accused man was recently acquitted.
The texts were not shown to the jury because Judge Kopenol (Greg Koppenol) of the Queensland District Court did not allow Kate to present them as evidence.
Judge Greg Koppenol, District Court of Queensland
The judge`s reason is that the text messages do not know whether or not they refer to the rape in the case, and do not know which time they are referring to.
As a result, the judge held that it was unfair for the alleged rape offender to have the text of the sexual invasion identified as being used as evidence.
Moreover, the defense said defendant in sending these messages when very emotional, perhaps also mental illness.
Without these text messages, the court finally ruled rape not guilty, only stalking charges.
Defendant so freely walked out of the court.
The fall of the case caused huge discontent, angering local women`s support agencies and calls for an immediate review of Queensland`s sexual invasion law.
Queensland opposition leader Deb Frecklington
Queensland opposition leader Deb Frecklington said he was enraged by the case! And called for a radical overhaul of the state`s rape laws.
For example, the defense allowed people accused of rape to tell court that they "mistakenly thought" that a woman agreed to have sex.
In other states of Australia, the law provides for a large number of disagreements with the sexual behavior, including silence-that is, silence is dissenting, and only a clear "Yes" is consent, while the rest is rape!
There is no desire to refuse to welcome, and there is no half-delay.
