So many tweets from @LBC listeners who insist I am defending Ched Evans for being a rapist when I have categorically not done that. Bizarre.

@JuliaHB1@J3nniferW3st the judge does that with length of time in jail. Judy pointed out the young girl was drunk..implies victim at fault. -
@anninnis@JuliaHB1@J3nniferW3st why? I thought she was pointing out that he shouldn't have taken advantage of her drunken state. -
@marbessa1@anninnis@JuliaHB1 trouble is it's difficult to judge out of context quotes, she probably just phrased it badly -
@J3nniferW3st@marbessa1@anninnis they weren't out of context quotes. That's what she said. -
@JuliaHB1@marbessa1@anninnis Ok scratch 'out of context' but I watched the clip & it wasn't clear to me what exactly she meant... -
@J3nniferW3st@JuliaHB1@anninnis agree. But I don't think she was victim blaming and made clear she wasn't minimising any rape.

@JuliaHB1@J3nniferW3st With respect ladies, being drunk was never an excuse either way. What happened to mutual respect? What is rape?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1 Fair point. Judy could've phrased it better to emphasise all rape is sexual violence though. (& I suspect he's actually innocent)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
