Notably, judges reinforced some rape myths by, for example, being less likely to uphold convictions in cases that did not involve weapons or that occurred in private settings. However, judges challenged rape myths, with some judges explicitly considering the vulnerability of immigrant women, further contributing to the complexities of their decision-making process. | ||
