When Denise Huskins contacted police in 2015 to tell them she had been kidnapped and raped by an unknown masked man, they dismissed it as a hoax, saying the Californian woman “didn’t act like a victim,” and claiming she had likely been inspired by the hit movie of the summer, Gone Girl.
“If anything, it is… Ms Huskins that owes this community an apology,” police said at the time.
Following the ordeal, Huskins told police she and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn had been asleep inside their Vallejo, California home on March 22 when at around 3am they were woken by a masked stranger inside their home.

What a horrific reaction from the police! Their callous remarks have added so much to her trauma.
They should formally apologise for their disgusting behaviour.
Sounds similar to what happened to Lindy Chamberlain - she was judged because she "didn't act like a victim" too. The police need to apologise, suck it up and admit they were wrong.
