Lawyer asks woman assaulted by her own father why she didn't just clench her legs together

[Soph0571]

While cross-examining a woman raped by her father, a defense attorney asked the incest victim why she didn’t clench her legs to prevent the assault.

The Canadian Broadcasting Company reported that Calgary lawyer Krysia Przepiorka’s comments earned her admonishment from the judge presiding over the case.

“You would agree with me then,” the attorney told the victim on Monday, “all you had to do was clench your legs together and your pants would have been unable to move.”

Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Gillian Marriot ultimately found the line of questioning to be “founded on rape myths.”

Fucking hideous. Has anyone told this lawyer that it is 2018? And what about the sisterhood????? This was a female lawyer. How can we expect attitudes to change when we do this to each other?
