Flirtation and Manipulation: A Courtroom Revelation

During a sidebar for the case of USA v. Sean Combs - the judge tells the defense attorneys:

“Well, that is victim blaming. That is literally that's like if you had a dictionary that had a term victim blaming, like that would be the explanation that you'd be given, so it can't be that. It has to be something else.”

He clarifies that they themselves are not victim blamers; however, some of their questions could not be accepted in open court for their rather victim blaming nature.

He has said what netizens have been thinking for months now.

Netizens have been wondering for months -

Who is on trial here? Sean Combs or the victims?
