If I was a prosecutor, I'd be salivating at the prospect of cross examining him in front of a NY jury.

Originally posted by FMFInteresting. I guess I never really thought about it, but I'd kind of assume that a beautiful woman is more likely to be attacked sexually all else being equal. I would certainly be interested in seeing any study that was done on this question. It would certainly alter my preconceptions about rape.

Research has provided conflicting results as to the impact of a rape victim's physical attractiveness on observers' attributions of responsibility, attributed in part to methodological considerations. The present study, employing multiple exemplars of attractiveness and multiple dependent measures of responsibility, revealed consistent evidence of an attractiveness bias among observers, with an unattractive victim being assigned greater responsibility in general for her own victimization, as well as specific behavioral and characterological blame, than an attractive victim. The un-attractive victim was also considered to have contributed to her assault by presenting a more provocative appearance than her more attractive counter-part. These biases were stronger for male observers than for females. Although the attractiveness factor differentially influenced the perceived responsibility of a victim, it did not affect attributions toward the assailant.

BTW, DSK's semen was found on the maid's uniform and his defense appears to be that this was an act of consensual sex. So your analysis doesn't comport very well with the facts of the case.

A link ? I was hoping for some personal first hand experience type of info....😉
Wait - I used to work at a smoke shop and the owner said one time his upstairs neighbor was gang raped because he tried to cheat his meth dealer. Apparently it went on all night.
That's the most personal experience I can give you. Some dude told me it happened...
