- "She Asked For It"

- <p> The accused rapist: a drifter from Georgia. The accuser: a
- 22-year-old woman who was wearing a white lace miniskirt, a
- green tank top and no underwear on Nov. 6, 1988, when she
- claimed she was kidnaped at knifepoint from a Fort Lauderdale
- restaurant parking lot and raped twice. The jury's verdict last
- week: not guilty, on the ground that she had solicited sex. "We
- all feel she asked for it for the way she was dressed,"
- explained jury foreman Roy Diamond.
