    I'd forgotten about the Sunset Girl rape so I can see your point on that basis, but how you can't see him as being a victim in Tysha's gang-rape is odd to me. It's blaming a 13 year old victim of child abuse for the abuse of another of the victims of their abuser.

    Yeah but he sees it as only a wrong done to him.

    Does he? I'd have thought his biterness towards the entire situation, specifically the rage once Jaime fills him in on the truth that she wasn't a whore, was a recognition that she wasn't just another one of the crowd making jokes at the imp's expense: she actually loved him and his family had her gang-raped, forcing him to take part and (worse in his mind?) fooled him into believing that she hadn't loved him: contributing to his fairly ingrained view of himself as being unworthy of love etc.

    I'm still curious as to if he'll cross her path again. I'd be one of those who reckons "The Sailors Wife" is Tysha and her inclusion is a bit of a Chekov's gun.
