This is flat out wrong. In the US/EU, you can't be put on trial for being a rape victim. What offence would that be? Complete hyperbole.

- vkou 10y agoRead any rape trial transcript, or even an account of someone who took their assault to trial. Read the questions asked the victim. They are invasive and degrading, and they are intended to paint them as scandalous, lying, drunk, promiscuous skank. Your personal and public credibility will be put under intense scrutiny. The accused then takes the stand, and insists that yes, you clearly consented to being assaulted at 2 am behind a dumpster, when you were too drunk to speak. And if, heaven forbid, the case falls apart, you'll likely be sued right back for slander, damaging your attacker's public image, loss of income, etc. That's the defense's job in an adversarial legal system. That doesn't make in any better for victims.
