Teenage magazine in Singapore sparks anger over 'victim-blaming' rape advice...

An advice columnist's response to a letter about rape has sparked an angry backlash in Singapore and accusations of victim-blaming.

In the letter to Teenage magazine's agony aunt, the writer, apparently a teenage girl, said she was raped by a friend and had "no-one to turn to".

The Dear Kelly columnist said in reply that she had "acted like a girl who had been around" and should be "grateful he wore a condom".

It also added that she was too "naive".

The teenage girl recounted a series of events in which she had lied to her parents to stay over at a boy's place unsupervised. Full story...
