What happened there was a terrible crime, and can only be viewed as such.

But I don't respect the Globe and Mail for this trendy round-the-clock coverage on female rape victims.  Child abuse is also a social scourge, but you can find 100 articles on female sexual abuse for every 1 article about child abuse.  And articles like this begin verging on "victimization porn" for their excessive navel-gazing.  

Widespread statistics show that men experience as much violence as women do (getting hit/beat up, etc), yet I haven't seen a single article by a guy talking about how he copes with the PTSD of having his face kicked in.  Does balance in journalism not count??
