Indian Lawyer Says Gang Rape Victim Partly to Blame for Attack

Says "Until today I have not seen a single incident or example of rape with a respected lady"

As the trial of the men charged with the brutal gang rape and murder of a woman in New Delhi last month gets under way this week, a lawyer for some of the accused suggests the victim was partly to blame for the attack.

Lawyer Manohar Lal Sharma said his clients were innocent and implied that the 23-year-old student must have been in some way responsible for the horrific crime, Bloomberg reports.
