Italy fined after prosecutor called rape allegations 'normal' behaviour for men

The European Court of Human Rights has ordered Italy to pay compensation to a woman whose repeated rape allegations were dismissed by a prosecutor as "normal" for men who struggle to overcome resistance from "tired" women. The court ruled the remarks perpetuated "sexist stereotypes" and caused the victim further harm through secondary victimisation.
