It sounds like he is surrounded by a bunch of asshole enablers who have always told him he can do no wrong. So shocking that he ended up as a remorseless rapist.

[Redacted. Too bitter]

I’m a man who has been blackout drunk many times. Even with serious “clouded judgement” moments there was never a time where I thought “I should have sex with this unconscious girl”. You either have morals or you don’t. He doesn’t.

Remember, this is FIFA we’re talking about here. Likely explanation is they actually sold the rights to the highest bidder so that now the Chilean National Anthem is in fact a Pitbull song.

What an entitled piece of shit.

Makes me so mad when people try to pretend like he isn't just another catholic monster

Oh youre one of those argue with anything assholes even if it doesn’t apply to the situation. Got it.

Where does it say it was a pocketknife? And if it was in his pocket, why should she know about it?

Oh ok then he def didn't try to rape her then. Thanks for helping us solve this case.

No, not seriously at all. I’m responding to the statement in the quote from the paper that she grabbed for “a knife that he had brought into the bathroom”. The passive voice makes it sound like IT JUST HAPPENED TO come into the bathroom with him, not that it was a pocket knife customarily in his pocket or anything…

He didn't realize the toilet paper was perforated into sheets, and was just going to cut off some.

It wasn’t the contact lenses that caused the damage, it was the panicked reaction to pain. Eyes that burn need to be flushed with fresh water, not dug at with fingernails.

Insanely, that is literally the law in the Old Testament, that a rapist has to marry his victim. Of course, that is also literally Bronze Age thinking, where women/girls are commodities and the idea was “you break it, you bought it.”

Think of it this way...this is an unusual story, people were punished for harming this girl, and the general consensus of people reading about it is one of disgust. That was not always the case. That is not the case in some parts of the world right now. Things are getting better, but slowly.

When I was in 10th grade, one of my classmates dropped out to get married. I ran into her more than 20 years later. She was divorced, with a few kids of her own. She said she wished someone could’ve talked her out of that nonsense. Her mother had to sign for her to marry that idiot.

We are so overdue for a plague

He’s 16, she’s 15, and by all accounts it was consensual.
