Good point well made.
My bullshit-o-meter is highly tuned when it comes to UK publications. Partly because I know their individual bias. I'm more naive when it comes to overseas press though. But if she recived a ticket, she will be able to present it surely?

Not retracting any of my comments. just acknowledging they might not be justified in this case.

There is absolutely no excuse, none whatsoever, for rape. I do want to add, however, that women should not dress so provocatively if they do not want to be ogled. Example story: My friend once came over to have dinner with me and my sister joined us. My sister was sitting across from my friend. We were eating when my friend said, "Stop staring at my boobs." That's when my sister realized she's been staring at my friend's boobs; she wasn't even doing it on purpose. My friend was wearing a low-cut blouse, had a huge cleavage going because she was going clubbing with some other friends later. Now, if even a woman is drawn to boobs without intentionally doing it, how can you blame a man?

Your comments are spot on, sundae. She didn't get a ticket and doesn't know the name of the officer that supposedly warned her.
