What are some very famous rape cases?

Question

I am doing a report on rape and need to think of a famous case.

Answer 1

Here's one: Thalia Massie, the wife of a Navy lieutanant, claimed she was raped by a group of Hawaiian men at Ala Moana beach in Hawaii in 1931. Five men were arrested and charged with the crime but the jury was deadlocked due to insufficience evidence. All five were released on bail and one of them was later found dead in the back of a car. The owner of the car, Grace Fortescue, was tried, convicted and sentenced to 10 years, which was later commuted to one hour in jail. This is a case that still resonates in Hawaii today. Many native Hawaiians feel this was a gross miscarriage of justice. There was no evidence linking the dead man to the rape and many people believe that Thalia Massie made up the whole story to cover up her own illicit activities. There were rumors she was having an affair with another man.
