Szilvia Berki was unable to even go to the police to report her sexual assault unless she herself wanted to end up in jail.

Brand and his than partner Jemima Goldsmith claimed she caused them anxiety and distress.

She never went to a full trial - only a summary judgment, never had a lawyer, never got to defend herself and was silenced for life

    Well i guess thats where my streak of seeing only good hungary related news ends. Berki Szilvia is definitely a hungarian name. I dont even understand how this is possible. At this point a “backwards eastern european” country like hungary is better for women than most of the uk. Things like these were exactly what led to change in government, cuase people protested the corrupt officials enabling acts like this.

      Hungary has little to do with this, this didn’t happen in the Hungarian court system.

        No all im saying is that theres a lot of racism towards eastern europe about how backwards we are from a country that handles human rights worse than us.
