Unbelievable...
The judge in this case has refused to allow the alleged victim to say the word "rape" in court. She is also not allowed to say the words "victim" and "assailant". However, the alleged perp and his lawyers are allowed to say "sex" and "intercourse".
This is a rape trial. It is not about "sex" and "intercourse". As usual, he says it was consensual. She says it wasn't.
Here is what the alleged victim has to say about it: "I refuse to call it sex, or any other word that I'm supposed to say, encouraged to say on the stand, because to me that's committing perjury. What happened to me was rape, it was not sex," said Tory Bowen of Nebraska.
This case is infuriating. It's bad enough that women who say they were raped are not believed. Now things seem to be getting worse for them. Rape victims are first assaulted by their attackers, and then they are further assaulted by the court. This sucks.

this judge is a pathetic excuse for human being much less someone who has a position of authority and trust, he should be disbarred at the least.
