Slator said: “More likely that it's a punter that didn't pay.”
A Tory councillor sparked outrage when he posted online and said an alleged rape victim was 'likely' working as a prostitute.The tweet was headed “Woman raped in Plumstead park in early hours” and included a police comment, but Slator replied: “More likely that it's a punter that didn't pay.”
“First, prostituted and exploited women are raped and abused all the time and should be cared for, the idea that sexually exploited women and girls can't be abused is what led to grave cover up and state failure. He should educate himself. Lib Dem MP Sarah Olney said: "This is a disgusting comment to make. The councillor should apologise immediately and retract these disgraceful comments.
“Rape and all other forms of violence against women should always been taken seriously by everyone. To have an elected official publicly dismissing a rape allegation is completely unacceptable and sends a terrible message to the women and girls he is supposed to represent. “That’s a frequent thing that happens round here - the men don’t pay the prostitutes and then the women say they have been raped.
But he went on: “There’s been a rape reported at 4am in Plumstead, and I think it's very unlikely to have anyone walking round on her own.”
