Policemen after rape allegations: "No victim makes sexy selfies"
The story is really unbelievable: The New York police officers Richard Hall and Eddie Martins are said to have forced an 18-year-old woman into oral sex. Martins then raped her, says the woman. According to the officials, the sex was consensual. The police are now charged and must answer in court.
The facts - what we know
Definitely, the two policemen picked up the woman on September 15, caught drugs, and got her in her police car. The two friends in whose company she was with the police have let the officers go.
Then the police drove with the 18-year-olds to a parking lot where she gave both a blowjob. Martins also had sex with her. A few minutes later, they let the woman go, whereupon she went to the hospital first and then accompanied by her mother. The investigations carried out there confirmed that the blowjobs and sex with the police had taken place.
The story of the woman
As Michael David, the lawyer of the 18-year-old, said, the police would have put the woman before the choice: Either she gives both a blowjob or she has to go to the area.
She "decided" for the blowjobs? because the men could have forced them in any case due to their physical superiority anyway. During all this time the woman had been handcuffed. There could be no question of voluntary intercourse.
The history of the police
The officials deny neither that the woman has satisfied her orally, nor that Martins had sex with her. Only they say that all this happened amicably. As evidence for their statement, the lawyers of the police cite the social media behavior of the 18-year-olds: As liberal and provocative, as presented on Instagram and Co., she could hardly be an innocent rape victim.

Granted: The young woman shows up freely on Twitter. But to lead liberal tweets to blame and relieve her? That is not possible! Can we no longer show ourselves how we want to?
We do not have to decide, judges and jurors have to decide. But no matter what comes out: If anyone asks again, why thousands of women only years later come with their # screaming and # metoo stories around the corner, when once again a suitable movement is under way? because of exactly such allegations à la "if you present yourself so sexy, you do not have to be surprised".
