Well it seems this woman has been unfairly charged, but how did she get to the park in the first place, if she had to flag down 2 cars to get home?
Btw, all girls out there, and fellows too, don't hitchhike.
I know you mean well, but should't the admonishment be: "All you guys out there, don't rape."
"Well it seems this woman has been unfairly charged, but how did she get to the park in the first place, if she had to flag down 2 cars to get home?"
Did she walk to the park during the day, then flag a car down because it was dark and cold?
"The woman quarreled with her husband that day and went to one of Moscow's parks to calm down and think about her family life. On her way home, the woman decided to flag down a car. The first driver was able to take the woman home only halfway. Alexandra Ivannikova had to stop another car. Instead of taking the woman to her address, the young driver, named only as Sergei B., stopped the car in a dark side street and asked the woman to perform oral sex on him. "
It was certainly not very good judgment to hitchhike, but she had a fight with her husband, so apparently she wasn't at her best. Also, you can't turn around and blame the victim. I agree that people shouldn't hitchhike, because you never know who picks you up, but that is no excuse for trying to rape and perhaps even murder a hitchhiker.
I use to hitchhike often...it was the main way I got from where I was living, back home for the holidays...and then back to where I lived. I was propositioned one time. Scared the hell out of me!
I took a bus after that!
