RIYADH: A Saudi court has sentenced a gang rape victim to 90 lashes of the whip because she was alone in a car with a man to whom she was not married.
The sentence was passed at the end of a trial in which the Al Qateef high criminal court convicted four Saudis convicted of the rape, sentencing them to prison terms and a total of 2,230 lashes.
The four, all married, were sentenced respectively to five years and 1,000 lashes, four years and 800 lashes, four years and 350 lashes, and one year and 80 lashes.
A fifth, married, man who was stated to have filmed the rape on his mobile phone still faces investigation.
Two others alleged to have taken part in the rape evaded capture.
I figure the rapists thought the victim would not turn them in since "she was alone in a car with a man to whom she was not married."

What the hell? You get raped, you get punished for that too? Not like she offered herself to them! Geez.
Do the women also get lashed if they get robbed by an unknown man too?
and "a blessing in tragedy" , dude. She should not have been in a car with any man, yes, but what if she ended up there *against her will* because the assholes pulled her in? How should she have got out of the car? Beamed out? Get read!
