OK, it was mentioned by others, and may not be a popular discussion, and it in no way excuses anything done to her as a child, but...
Is her overtly sexualised personality a product of her experiences, or is it possible (just like homosexuality et. al) that she was "born" with a flirtatious personality and that she may have in some way encouraged or accepted things? (Granted, a grown man of sound mind should know when to say no)
Also, it appears she approached the media with her story before the police or legal system, possibly in an orchestrated strategy to have him guilty in the eyes of public opinion before the legal system. Typically in a court proceeding, the burden of proof falls on the defendant to prove otherwise - and what alleged abuser from 20 years earlier isn't going to say "I didn't do it", typically you wouldn't retain or recall exact evidence proving otherwise (and if you did, you must have something to protect).
I'm not a fan of people approaching the media before going to the authorities - the media should report, where appropriate and permitted, on matters before the legal system, not be the legal system themselves.
It just seems very odd that since her abuser was jailed, she has been on a "look at me" social media pattern of behaviour. It kind of makes a mockery of the situation, particularly for those that were seriously sexually abused (I understand what he was charged with was more assault, not penetration - neither is OK, but there's a big difference).
me either !!
