Justice Hunt warned that “consent is something that must be looked for” adding that if it is not established, “you do so at your own peril”. At an earlier hearing, Ms Raleigh read her victim impact statement into the record. “People seem prepared to take extraordinary risks with people they don’t particularly know,” Mr Justice Hunt commented. “Typical things are no longer fun for me — my body does not enjoy new things any more,” Ms Raleigh said. Ms Raleigh said her family has been her greatest support before she acknowledged how the attack impacted on their life.
