Well, for example... it seems unclear as to exactly which resort they young woman was staying at. The article says at Sandals with her mother, but later references Beaches. So I automatically question the respectability of the article. Secondly, what was the young woman doing in the laundry room. If she was in fact doing laundry and was then assaulted, that is tragic. Third, apparently, her friends were later or simultaneously being "gang raped" in their room. But I have to wonder, who let the men into the room? So I maintain, there are a lot of unanswered questions, and there are choices that may have been made that promoted this horrible incident. No one deserves to be assaulted, but there seem to have been choices made that allowed this particular even to play out, horrible as it is.Originally Posted by rellim
As a single woman who regularly travels alone, perhaps I take more precaution than others, but I have been at resorts where staff have openly insinuated interest in a very overt way, both while with other guests and not. I don't let anyone in my room when I am there by myself, I no longer travel alone at night, or even with locals for that matter, by foot, and I have to accept that when I drink too much alcohol, my boundaries increase in size... if anything happens to me, it's my own fault.
