Joyce Fegan: Let's talk about our role in the leaking of nude images

When it comes to crimes of a sexual nature, offences that disproportionately affect women, the victim is always to blame in the court of public opinion, the perpetrator a ghost-like figure with no agency of his own, writes Joyce Fegan

As a society we inadvertently protect rapists, perverts and pedophiles with the myths we choose to continue believing and repeat about sexual crimes.

It's never ever their fault, is it? And we are to blame for that.

When a person gropes, upskirts, sexually assaults or rapes another person, private and public conversation always goes to the victim.
