Yes, back then the women strangely seemed to blame the woman not the rapist!
Any woman/girl should be able to walk anywhere at any-time without the threat of molestation, but unfortunately it isn't going to happen, some strange folk patrol the whole of the world.

You don't have to go that far back Less, a google search on "judge says girl was asking for it" shows those prejudices are still with us and it's not just the judiciary for sure.
