Strawman, with your propensity to erroneously extrapolate you almost turn it into an art form and one you have taken to new heights at that, but at least it amuses me. You are so grossly wrong in your attempt to portray me that I thought I would set the record straight. Far from thinking ?non-committal sex? is ?immoral? I make a living from it. And far from thinking that women ?deserve? to be raped I do not, because I was raped. How is this so? Well I am a prostitute and in 1996 in the UK I helped along side a campaigning organisation, (WAR ? Women Against Rape), to bring about the first private prosecution for the rape of a prostitute. The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) had refused to proceed on the case so the victim went private. The prosecution was successful and the rapist was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment. When he is released he will be on the UK?s Sex Offender Register for life. You can check the case out here:
http://www.allwomencount.net/EWC%20Sex%20Workers/home_news_the_guardian.htm I doubt his time in prison will be pleasant either since other (male) prisoners usually beat up sex offenders as they are viewed with disgust. On the basis of this precedent set by the previous case I also took my case privately to court. My rapist was revealed upon sentencing to be a serial rapist and was sentenced to 25 years in prison in November 2004.My case involved alcohol but I still won, so no I don?t think drunk women ?deserve? to be raped and fortunately for me so did the court. Of course both these cases were in the UK but I have dual British/Australian citizenship and know of similar cases in Aus. I was awarded ?10,000 in compensation and Disability Living Allowance, (a welfare benefit), for life. I also got awarded an allowance for a carer which I use to pay my minder now. Fortunately the Disability Living Allowance is not related to income and I can still earn an unlimited amount without it being affected in any way. And that?s nice because as it provides a lifetimes alternative income it means I can chose to work as a high paid London Escort or Sydney escort as and when I like. Some may call me a whore or whatever, or make fun of my rape or trial but it?s water off a duck?s back. I just look at my bank balance and laugh. And I?m not against alcohol either because on the evening of the day my rapist was convicted I got ?pleasantly drunk? on champagne. And do I feel sorry for my rapist? ? not one bit! But I do feel sorry for all innocent people in prison not just those falsely accused of rape. I have sent out this comment as a mass email to many interested groups I belong to so in the bizarre world of the Internet this site is being promoted.
