A female judge who said drunk women are putting themselves at greater risk of rape has been accused of victim blaming. Judge Lindsay Kushner QC said women were entitled to "drink themselves into the ground" but this could put them in danger - as some predatory men "gravitated" towards vulnerable women. The Police Commissioner for Northumbria, Vera Baird, said the judge's comments would stop victims speaking out. Stephen got reaction from commentators Luke Gittos and Emma Woolf.
