I can’t believe I missed this

‘Commie Mutant Traitor’ pointed this out in a comment, but I think it bears repeating:
Mrs Nicholas, wearing a thick cream cardigan over a white t-shirt and a long red skirt, told crown prosecutor Brent Stanaway QC she initially found Dewar helpful after she laid the complaints and came to consider him a good friend, even writing a letter to Dewar’s superiors commending him on his support and work.
And John Dewar was tastefully dressed in a raven black suit with a royal blue tie? I think not.
This type of reporting is hardly exclusive to rape cases, but it is some guide to just how seriously the media takes women.
