Judge asks rape victim to turn over Facebook page

The defence wanted to see if there are any hints that the sex was consensual
London: A judge has ordered a teenager who accused a man of rape to turn over access to her Facebook page, according to The Guardian. Mercer County superior court judge Robert Billmeier agreed to a request from David Stevens-Parker’s attorney, and will review two weeks of Facebook postings for any comments related to the alleged rape before deciding whether any can be used in court.
The defence wants to see if there are any hints that the sex was consensual. Stevens-Parker, 22, was charged with plying the then-16-year-old Princeton girl with alcohol before sexually assaulting her in 2013. Assistant prosecutor John Carbonara said ordering the victim to provide Facebook access was a greater invasion of privacy.
