Rape is a touchy subject and I have witnessed first hand men get accused of rape, then have their accuser recant their accusation. It's a very difficult legal dilemma, unless there's physical evidence. I don't believe that there is a "rape culture", or a society accepting of rape. Who thinks rape is acceptable? That article is just an anecdote.
Not saying that doesn't happen, of course it does.
Again, the worst of the rape culture is blaming the victim. And that doesn't only happen to women. People have blamed the children who have been raped by priests. Some male victims of rape are blamed for being weak or, far worse, mocked by being called "fags".
And no, that story wasn't anecdotal. If it was the guy would not have been convicted.
Tell me, was a young girl asking to be raped and molested by a man for a decade? Does she deserve the mocking of the community? If you're answer to either of those questions is "yes", then you're as sick as the guy who did the crime and his supporters.
