Her background is irrelevant and is no reason to imply that she is responsible for it or that it didn't happen..
Her background is very relevant when it comes to veracity of claims.
All we have at this point is her statement and no independent corroboration.
The CBS statement states she was separated from her crew and return to her hotel later alone.
“Her background is irrelevant and is no reason to imply that she is responsible for it or that it didn’t happen.”
I would disagree with that, she most definitely is responsible for what happened to her. What she did was the equivalent of walking naked down the street in the bad part of town where the gang bangers hang out. She set herself up for this by dressing in western clothes and going to a location where a near riot was happening with thousands of Muslim men (who are known to do this type of thing).
Personally I think that she gets a thrill or adrenalin rush from going into these kinds of dangerous situations since she’s done it before and gotten away with it. In any case she is as responsible as the people that assaulted her in what happened to her.
