So really it doesn't seem like anyone will ever know the real truth in this situation.

I think those stories you've posted are watered down as the reporters who initially did such an awful job of reporting the truth are backtracking.

The woman was not confused about her story at all. She was found bleeding and alone in a hallway. She was then taken to hospital where they documented her resistance wounds.
The victim was staying at a woman's shelter, because she was raped and forced into prostitution by her father. She dodged questions on her past (understandably) which led to questions on her credibility. In addition, she had been sent to a mental institution after this latest rape and the prosecution wanted to spare her having to through further cross-examination.
Therefore, they struck a plea bargain on a lesser charge under the assumption that the perpetrator went to jaiil.
Meanwhile, the "liberal" media sees an opportunity to pounce on Israel again, and reports a total distortion of the truth. They even go as far as interviewing the rapist and reporting exclusively his story, and a rape victim is humliated on a global scale.
