The brutality of the attack was a key factor but the British press were also criticized for how they reported the rape. They were accused of being overly intrusive leading to Saward being identified as the victim despite not being physically named. The court case also gathered major attention after the sentencing.

Heather Whitestone McCallum was born on February 24, 1973 in Dothan, Alabama (“Heather Whitestone”). When Heather turned 18 months old, she captured a high fever from the virus, Haemophilus Influenzae, which resulted in hospitalization. Whitestone was close to death, when the doctors prescribed her two extremely powerful antibiotics. She returned home as a normal toddler until her mother had an accident in the kitchen and realized something was wrong. Whitestone’s mother had dropped several pans while cooking, and Heather did not jump or move when the pans hit the floor. Heather was taken to a children’s hospital, where the doctors concluded that she had lost her hearing from Haemophilus Influenzae, the powerful antibiotics, or a combination of both (“Heather Whitestone | Bio | Premiere Motivational Speakers Bureau.”). At a young age, Whitestone’s parents trained her to read lips and speak using an educational arrangement titled, “Acoupedics.” Because she learned how to speak and read lips, she did not receive an interpreter during her years in public school (“Heather Whitestone”).

Julie Billart is an example of a leader, positive person, and faithful. She demonstrated how to use all four CCC Core Values. Julie was born in Cuvilly, France on July 12, 1751. She was a believer in Christ Jesus and expressed in her characteristics “How good is the good God!”. Even though she died nearly to be 65, she has been though some tough times her whole life. Almost dying but escaping, village got attacked, also was paralyzed. Even though she went through those things she still attracted people and turned out to be one of the most faithful and generous person in the history of the world.
This statement shows the misogyny that was implicated in the societal norms. She holds the value of chastity and faithfulness of women so high that even though she had no fault in her situation and was a victim, she believes, implicitly or explicitly, that her rape and lack of punishment will be used by women as a reason why they can be unfaithful. This statement and her suicide then serve as a warning and deterrent for women to be unchaste and to condemn those who are, willingly, or possibly unwilling. Secondly, I feel that her suicide as a self-punishment for being unchaste, even though it was not her choice, would be seen as honourable. Rather than live with the dishonour of the assault and be unchaste, she would rather die.
