I think what I said was “Although I think it’s wrong to blame a victim for the actions of another I do believe that when an individual is shown to have actively encouraged the sexual attentions of another that they must face their responsibility for their own actions and this should be taken into consideration when sentencing the perpetrator.” This means that although the perpetrator “Must Be Punished” for his or her crime, if the victim actively encouraged the perpetrator to believe that consent was given then the victim should be made aware that there actions had a bearing on the outcome.
