A man accused of repeatedly raping a woman while she slept has been cleared of all the charges.Monstrous! Yet another jury ignoring the plight of...
Ah, hang on:
Henry Routledge, 31, was alleged to have raped and sexually assaulted the woman on numerous occasions between April 2009 and April this year when he stayed at her house.Yeah, that's right. These 'offences' took place over a whole year. While the accuser continued to live with the accused...
The victim admitted she had been seeing Mr Routledge but claimed she regularly spurned his advances, insisting he slept on the sofa./facepalm
But she woke up on numerous occasions to find him having sex with her.
The explanation from the accused?
“She was making up the allegations because she was £800 in arrears in her rent and wanted me out of the way.”How in the hell did a case like this ever get to prosecution stage in the first place? Seriously, I can't imagine a bigger waste of court time and money.
Clarence Darrow couldn't have made this case for the prosecution, never mind the low paid, going-through-the-motions CPS placeholder...
...the jury took just one day to find Mr Routledge innocent of all the charges.That long? I guess the lunches must have been pretty good. I'm surprised it didn't take them all of five minutes.
In fact, I'm surprised they didn't storm the advocate's area, drag the hapless prosecution stooge out intro the street and lynch him from the nearest street light, screaming 'Where's our taxes gone, you leech?' all the while...
And I see over at 'Angry Exile' that yet another woman falsely crying 'Rape!' has faced a jury:
Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC, sitting at Chelmsford Crown Court, told Merry: 'Sort out your affairs on the assumption you're likely to be sent to prison.'We'll see...

These women really need a punishment befitting the crime. As I've said before it does not help for these "stupid cows" to shout wolf whenever it suits them.
or maybe a caution:

This is a very good idea, providing it doesn't damage the lamp post.
Regularly spurned his advances? He initiated contact while she was asleep?
"Oh, not now, darling, I have to take Gemma to playgroup at 7.15 tomorrow and get started on my 2Q numbers. Yes I know Martin and Sally look like they're at it all the time, but she doesn't have to work. No, I am not saying you're a loser because we both have to work. No, I am not. Fine then. Fine. Go back to sleep."
Ha!
Just a note ... W/V = vileful

"These women really need a punishment befitting the crime."
Automatic imprisonment. For the same length of time as the man would have got, if found guilty.
The judge's will whine, but then, they will no matter what, so who cares?
"'Sort out your affairs on the assumption you're likely to be sent to prison.' "
But I'll bet that she doesn't spend much, if any, time inside. And whatever time she's sentenced to will be reduced on appeal, and probably suspended until then. It always seems to be the way.
