Councillor says alleged rape victim was too ugly to be attacked

A senior council member has quit after insinuating that a woman was too ugly to be raped.

Philip Drury left the Liberal Democrats after his appalling comments on Facebook about 21-year-old fashion student Serena Bowes.

She claims she was sexually assaulted in Italy but police there believe she has made the attack up.

Drury wrote: ‘Not sure anyone would even want to think about it looking at her lol’.

He was shadow cabinet leader of East Hampshire District Council until standing down ‘due to work pressure’.

Miss Bowes, who has waived her right to anonymity, is facing extradition to Italy over the allegations.

A council investigation found that no action should be taken because he was not acting in his capacity as a councillor when he made the comment.

He is still a councillor.

Do you think action should have been taken? Why/Why not?
 
I think that the comments are horrible.
Rape is an act of violence and has nothing to do with looks or how someone is dressed.
 
He's the ugly one saying what he did. :mad:
 
That is disgusting. Kinda wish he didn't quit so that he could get fired.
