I’ve discussed before the horrifying case of a young Orange County woman who was repeatedly gang-raped while she was unconscious. What made the case particularly appalling was the conduct of the defense. Lacking any credible case that they consented, they used the well-worn strategy of attacking the victim with irrelevant sexist details, egregious violations of privacy and outright intimidation:

Since the moment the tape was recovered by police, there’s been an effort to destroy Doe. An army of Haidl lawyers and private detectives have continually hounded her and her family; posted inflammatory fliers in her neighborhood; called her a “slut” who tricked “an innocent boy” into making a “sex film” because she wanted to be a “porn star”; spread defamatory rumors about each member of her family; persuaded her high school friends to betray her in court; tailed her to her new high school and informed her new, unsuspecting friends about the rape case; and released her private medical and psychological records to the media.

While no ending to such a case can be “happy,” the primary assailants have been convicted. In addition, Jane Doe is suing for civil damages.

Ikoi Hiroe emails me to say that she’s collecting letters of support for Jane Doe–you can send letters addressed to the latter at [email protected] and Ikoi will pass them along. (This has been vetted by Sheelzebub, who in addition to her other terrific work on this case contacted Doe’s attorney and confirmed that the letters of support will be passed on.) Please consider doing so.
