That's like saying if a nice car is parked in a public lot for all to see, it's ripe for the stealing.
The responsibility relies 100% on the would-be thief to not steal the car.
No. I'm just saying that Bathsheba may have been a willing accomplice in the relationship, in which case she would share responsibility for the act of adultery.

That doesn't mean that any guy can come along and rape me.
We may not be talking rape here.
