What the hickety-heck ? ? ?
This publicly "molested" barroom floozy argues with a federal judge (a FEDERAL JUDGE, mind you!) and the court decree that, "If you wouldn’t have been there that night, none of this would have happened to you.”
Well I am sorry, but that is an unarguing FACT. Do the math: If she had not been there, the event could not have happened!
Instead, the uppity temptress sasses back, "Yeah, well, it probably would have happened to someone else." (? ? ? ?)
Unbelievable.

Sex assault victim groped by off-duty cop wants apology from Arizona judge
A sexual assault victim who was groped by an off-duty police officer is demanding an apology from Arizona Judge Hatch, who during a sentencing hearing for the defendant told her: "If you wouldn’t have been there that night, none of this would have happened to you.”
Prosecutors said Evans walked up behind the victim in a Flagstaff bar, put his hand up her skirt and groped her last summer. He was fired after his conviction.

The Daily Sun's account of the court hearing:
Bad things can happen in bars, Hatch told the victim, adding that other people might be more intoxicated than she was. "If you wouldn't have been there that night, none of this would have happened to you," Hatch said.
"I hope you look at what you've been through and try to take something positive out of it," Hatch said to the victim in court. "You learned a lesson about friendship and you learned a lesson about vulnerability."
The victim said Hatch's comments were inappropriate. "It felt like she was saying to me, 'If you wouldn't have been there that night, it wouldn't have happened to you.' Yeah, well, it probably would have happened to someone else," the victim told the Daily Sun during a telephone interview.
"I hope you look at what you've been through and try to take something positive out of it," Hatch said to the victim in court. "You learned a lesson about friendship and you learned a lesson about vulnerability."
