Roger Rivard was a Wisconsin state representative for one term. His crass remarks regarding a local rape involving a 17-year-old raping a 14-year-old in the band room at school. He said “some girls rape easy.” This was, he claimed, his father’s advice. Thinking to explain the full context, he said:
“What the whole genesis of it was, it was advice to me, telling me, ‘If you’re going to go down that road, you may have consensual sex that night and then the next morning it may be rape.’ So the way he said it was, ‘Just remember, Roger, some girls, they rape so easy. It may be rape the next morning.’
