The thing about this story that gets me is that I don't see that the US is not that different.
A woman gets raped here and the prosecution is allowed to try her past and "character" (bullshit word and connotation) as if they have ANY bearing on the incident being discussed.
They do NOT.
By doing so she is being, defacto, tried. Just as several high-profile cases have shown us, not only in the courts but publicly from the prosecution's immoral tactic.
It is a puritan/protestant legacy and nothing more.
