I am just telling you what the law is. I am not arguing that the victim "asked for it". The law is well established that the victim's poor or provocative conduct is a mitigating factor for the seriousness of the offence. This law has also been around for a very long time. I would think it was first established as a case law precedent, then adopted by the Parliament so now it is in a statute. If you do not like it, write to your local MP ask for an amendment to the law. Amendments to laws happen all the time, that is what we all pay the MP's salary for.
