"If you get sexually assaulted / rapes why wouldn't you tell the police?"

A thread of what JUDGES said in court during rape trials
"As the gentlemen on the jury will understand, when a woman says no she doesn't always mean it. Men can't turn their emotions on and off like a tap like some women can"
Judge Raymond Dean, addressing the jury in a rape trial
"I hope you'll be able to keep your well paid job and the couple of weeks you spend in prison will be treated by employers as part of your holidays"
Judge Gabriel Hutton, speaking to a guilty rapist
A man who sexually assaulted a one-year old boy needed a chance "to get over his problems" according to Judge Hutton (Again) the man got w years probation
"It seems, on the evidence, that this child has not suffered as a result of these offences"

Judge Greg Lenehan (2017)
"why couldn't you just keep your knees together?"
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you?"
"Pain and sex sometimes go together."
Judge Robin Camp (2016)
"If someone doesn't want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down. The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted... The victim in this case, although she wasn't necessarily willing, she didn't put up a fight"
Judge Derek Johnson (2008)
"This was a rare sort of rape. It is not like someone being jumped on in the streets this is within the family and does not impinge on the public"
