Italian court finds victim too ugly to be raped

ROME - Italy's Justice Ministry has ordered a preliminary inquiry into an appeals court ruling that overturned a rape verdict in part by arguing that the woman who was attacked was too ugly to be a credible rape victim.
The ruling has sparked outrage in Italy, prompting a flash mob Monday outside the Ancona court, where protesters shouted "Shame!" and held up signs saying "indignation."
The appeals sentence was handed down in 2017 by an all-female panel but the reasons behind it only emerged publicly when Italy's high court annulled it on March 5 and ordered a retrial. The Court of Cassation said Wednesday its own reasons for ordering the retrial will be issued next month.

I recall a few years back when an Italian judge acquitted a man for rape because he said the victim was wearing jeans, and hence the rape was improbable.
