    I'd rather hide it from the media.

    Where was it front page news? That story was published yesterday, and the front pages were about the evidence in the Jackson/Oldham trial that had been withheld, Trump's threat to attack Syrian forces, and the prospect of pay rises.

    On the front page of the independent website. Who actually buys newspapers anymore?

    She shouldn't have been wearing a short skirt! Or out having a few drinks! She probably consented at the time and then regretted it when the lad showed no interest in her, she did say he left very quickly...or she just wanted to jump on the metoo bandwagon...

    Am I getting this right?

    Depends on what you're trying to passive aggressively get at

    More front page news on the Indo today.

    Really ... an Irish woman is gang raped in the Czech republic by 6 men. Radio silence.

    A Z list celeb once had some creep put his hand up her skirt - front page news. It's not pleasant but hardly worthy of front page coverage.

    It's the Indo. If Vogue Williams farts it's major news for them.

    I was out for a few beers last Saturday for a birthday party. One of the lads was walking towards the bar, and happened to walk in the middle of a hen party.

    I turned to tell him to get me a pint as well, when I did, he was naked to the waist, with not a button left on his shirt, and about 6 women pawing at him, in throngs of laughter. He was absolutely morto, and left for home.

    If that's sexual assault then lock me up.

    She wouldn't have lasted five minutes in Sach's hotel back in the day.

    I actually enjoy reading threads about sexual assault in After Hours. Makes identifying the tone-deaf arseholes of the board much easier.

    Eh if you’re going around grabbing random women’s undercarriages in nightclubs you need to have a word with yourself there

    I've had my arse grabbed in nightclubs by groups of girls in the past. Hard to tell which one did it when you turn around and they're all giggling.
    I didn't care which one it was only I wanted to know which one was a bit gamey and up for a bit of action.

    I fall somewhere in the middle on this.
    Was it an unpleasant experience for her? I’m sure it was.
    Should she have spoken up about it? Yes she should.
    Is it worthy of being front page exclusive news: probably not.
    Have I just done that annoying thing where you answer your own questions? Yes I have.

    This is simply false. It was reported across a number of media outlets. And you're fully aware of that, as you replied on that thread to someone who listed some of the media articles that reported it.

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=106696141

    Why do you have a problem with an online article being published on this topic, among the thousands of other articles that news outlet publishes every week? Don't you think that sexual assault is an important enough topic to warrant that?
