Talk:Sexual assault

Wasn't she actually raped?

I've been rather confused on this matter. That coroner or whoever said Claire's body was pulled from Red River Creek, found naked and dragged. While removal of clothes could be to delay the identification of her body, that still highly suggests to me that she was likely raped after she died. She wasn't examined for signs of rape and, not being female, I'm not sure how easy or difficult it is for a girl to tell if she's been violated like such, especially after what Claire's been through. But I'd thought that Brody likely had raped her because he stripped her nude before abandoning her, and that Claire and her dad only had the idea that Brody tried to.. or that Claire did know better but only chose to tell her dad that he tried to force her.

Thus all this time, I've thought that Claire had been rather charitable even when ramming his car straight into a wall, or especially charitable when she decided to apologize to him with the whole two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right bit (which is true and with which I agree, but then all this time I've just been considering Brody the lowest kind of filth who got much much better than he deserved). So was there evidence that Brody didn't actually rape Claire's body and I just missed it? --Glue 05:33, 14 February 2007 (EST)
