It's true Elisabeth that she either miscalculated the risk or was too naive to see it or that she had bad luck and out of 80% of good guys she met a rapist. As much as I'd hate to see my daughter hitchhiking alone, I find it hardly an excuse for the rapist. How far should a woman go to "protect" herself from danger? Rosie suggested covering herself. To me the idea that women should cover to avoid male aggression is a perverted idea. Doing so is a slap on men's face. It means you consider them primitive beasts unable to control themselves and this is not true for most men. Just like it is impossible to avoid murder or theft even if you do stick to some precautions, if you are to be raped, nothing will prevent it once you're targeted.

I am ashamed as a Turk!

Sorry Pippa, Italian people please accept our most sincere apology.

Please be assured the murderer will get what he deserved! (if they can put him with others in prison, if not alone in a cell)

Every society has some bad apples. Unfortunately Pippa encountered one of our bad apple.

My fellow citizens! What happened us? Are we proud of our world-reknowned hospitality? What we lost? Did we lost our soul?

Turkish women will finish route....
