Once these cases eventually came to be prosecuted the sheer numbers (average of 10 defendants and often ten times that victims) distorted the statistics on sexual crime for 5 years or so.

Feminists did not become ascendent without some clever political maneuvering, all outrage at the Taliban thousands of miles away but silent about the very same beliefs here.
