Thumbs down It just doesn't pay to be a rape victim nowadays....

A judge has ruled that the defendant of a rape trial cannot be referred to as a "victim", because it infers that they were subject to a crime/infers guilt on the part of the accused. However, the judge also said that the accused CAN be called a victim, at least until he's convicted.

WHAT??
