@KeepTakingTheSoma @HebrideanHecate @EatKnitSleepAgain Seems to have been endemic in response to these particular type of abusers, doesn't it?
KJK nailed it on her live today. She pointed out that the same type of deflection (victim blaming) didn't go on once the Care Homes, Football, and Catholic Church sex abuse scandals were exposed.

Nobody was saying THOSE victims (boys and girls) made "lifestyle choices".

She also suggested that some police were very possibly using these poor girls themselves. (Something which was always alleged in the Fred West house of horrors in Gloucester).
