Rehtaeh Parsons, RIP

[twayblade]

I just hope she is at peace now. She seems like a sweet girl who loved everything and everyone without thought to her own well-being. R.I.P. be with God.

So it turns out that she wasn't raped by "four boys". Evidence showed that not only was the sex she had consentual, it was only two boys, the other two weren't even there.
Evidence was rehtaehs own fucking messages to friends, detailing the sex was consentual.
It pisses me off when people do this, decide what they want for themselves with absolutely no facts to back it up.
Fuck your mob mentality, and fuck each and every one of you who commented.

This is the most recent news that I could find that doesn't involve her parents, but it does involve one of the guys.

2 or 4, it doesn't matter - it still happened.

Hmm are you one of them, or family? Sounds like it for sure, the facts definitely back up the rape, it was NOT consensual that is totally absurd. You are a demented piece of garbage. She absolutely WAS raped and those other born for nothing human pieces of garbage did not get what they deserved. Incredible that you can go back to this thread with victim blaming nonsense. Seems legit ---

Unfortunately, the investigation does not support your view. The 2 boys were charged for filming the act and distributing it after, but no one was charged with sexual assault. The case got enough attention that if they could have gotten the charges to stick, I assure you, they would have nailed those guys to the cross.

Regardless, I feel terrible for her. The bullying she suffered after was incredible.

You are correct in that the investigation led to a situation where in consultation with the Crown, there was insufficient evidence to lay sexual assault charges. That is not abnormal in cases like this.

Where I take umbrage is to the poster theunoticeable bumping a thread years later to claim "evidence showed the sex was consensual", and "rehtaehs own fucking messages to friends, detailing the sex was consentual." which is unsubstantiated nonsense.

Quote from the NP link above from her father "The two boys involved in taking and posing for the photograph stated Rehtaeh was throwing up when they had sex with her." A person so inebriated can't give consent.

I think the investigation didn't really consider much outside of the sketchy imagery and made conclusions based mostly on that, and very little else including important witness statements that were not taken.
