That's why the don't arrest attempted rape victims who fight back. Is it your honest opinion that she should be arrested if the alleged rapist has scratches on his face?

This has nothing to do with rape, and your loaded question here has nothing to do with what I said. See my post 77 if you're interested in discussing this without getting too far afield...

I read post #77.

You said, and I quote "Your argument that if a "victim defends herself or himself by hitting another person," while I understand what you are saying, still doesn't fall into the legal definition of self defense. "

Therefore, by your definition ... a rape victim must be arrested for fighting back, a mugging victim must arrested for fighting off their attacker, etc.

It's always one person's word against the other.

So, by definition, everytime any physical contact takes place between two parties, the police MUST arrest both parties and let a judge or jury sort it out.

I clearly disagree.
