If this is a real strategy, and I have no reason to doubt it is, she may have appeared to consent to everything that happened, when in reality she was frightened for her life and saying whatever she thought would keep her safe. However, where does this leave the young dumb guys? They see themselves in a scenario where she appears to be consenting, so participate. What a conundrum. |
In EM’s original statement to the police three days after the incident, she said the players said “come, on don’t go.” Her testimony that they said “don’t let her leave” was years later. This discrepancy was raised by the defence, who pointed out the very different connotations of the two remarks.
