1. “I had to drink through a straw.” Woman raped by Australian cricketer Alex Hepburn suffered face paralysis after the attack.
The victim of Australian cricketer Alex Hepburn has revealed the trauma of him orally raping her triggered a medical condition that left her face frozen.
The university graduate was left with a paralysed face after Hepburn attacked her as part of a ‘sex conquest’ game he set up on WhatsApp with his cricketing teammates.
In April, the ex-Worcestershire county player was found guilty of one count of oral rape at the Worcester Crown Court in the UK, following a retrial. A jury found the 23-year-old had raped a sleeping woman at a party in April 2017, but cleared him of a second count of rape involving the same victim.
He has been sentenced to five years prison, but is appealing his conviction.
The victim was required to give evidence twice after a jury failed to reach a verdict at a trial earlier this year. She said the process has torn her life apart.
“I had thought this was all going to be over in January, then April, and now there’s more uncertainty that it isn’t the end,” she told The Mirror.
“It was said in court he’d shown remorse. Now he’s appealing. It just shows how arrogant he is.”
She blasted the court process that allowed jurors to hear “glowing” character references for Hepburn, while she was labelled as “easy”.

This is even better than Cher’s tweet that LA can’t cope with its homeless and veterans at the moment and questioned how they could take more in response to Trump considering locating illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities.
The Left has gone so insane it doesnt see it’s actually making Trump and Pences points in an effort to oppose everything they say.
'She noted that women have historically withheld sex to protest or advocate for political reform.'
it worked in Lysistrata, why not now!
Well, I had to Google that reference, so I have learned something today! I’m not necessarily a fan of a ‘sex ban’, but it does seem apt in a way. That’s one of the most common comments I see from anti-abortionists, “If you don’t want to get pregnant, then keep your legs together!”. OK, fine, we will! Malicious compliance ftw!
'If you don’t want to get pregnant, then keep your legs together!”. OK, fine, we will!'
Can you imagine?! Conservative old white men then having to say, 'But wait, hang on! I didn't mean with ME!'
Unfortunately, old conservative white men have old conservative wives who support these abortion laws. Or they have mistresses/regular sex workers who don't care that these old conservative men are hell bent on banning abortion. Because these old conservative white men are rich and if their mistresses need abortion, I'm sure they'll get one without hassle.
Lol. First of all, I’m sure Mike Pence and other Christian conservatives are very happy to read her tweet. They couldn’t agree more.
Now Conservative men wouldn’t be sleeping with the women who call for this ban anyway, so no loss. It will perhaps impact on the men Proud abortion supporters would hang with. You know, the men who are on their side. I’m sure they’ll appreciate this.
Best own goal ever!
