Being the victim of rape is something one has to confess about or admit to?

What. The. Fuck.

It's worse than that.

As reported locally (the scandal has jumped the Tasman too) the girl's mother (I think) already knew what had happened. The show's hosts did show appalling judgement in letting it go to air though... even for not just stopping the recording then and there and going straight to the Police, I reckon.

Media Watch covered this story last week - it's worth looking up online for the sheer enjoyment they got out of putting the boot (very tastefully) into Kyle Sandilands.

The way AOL's headline puts it, you'd think the child was the criminal, not the rapist! She "confesses" and "admits" to being sexually assaulted? Grrr.

It can also be taken like interrogation, pressure, duress. Those are words that are generally linked to the criminal element, yes, but it makes you question wtf a fourteen-year-old girl was doing live on radio being questioned about her sexual past by a couple of shock jocks.

Ye gods.

Having watched this, all I can say is they should be ashamed. Very much ashamed.
