You're confusing legality with cause. If I am a sexy 20-something blonde female in a scanty party outfit, and I walk a dark street in the bad end of town at 2:00 AM, and get mugged, the mugger is guilty of a crime, and should be prosecuted. But in this scenario, I'm guilty of personal endangerment.

This comment by you shows that you still don't get it. I think regardless of how many people believe that a girl's dress has something to do with being raped, that is not true. Most of the time it's just people to are in the wrong place at the wrong time, or have junkie parents who do screwed up things when they're high, etc. I think this notion that only provocatively dressed women are more likely to get raped is a myth. I'd say they're more likely to have a boyfriend who would walk them home late at night to prevent something like that from happening.

I live in a big city, and when I hear on the news that someone was raped, it's almost always because she was walking down the street at the wrong time, not because she was dressed like a slut.
