During an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Serena
blamed
the girl for putting herself in a position where the boys could rape her. She said:
the girl for putting herself in a position where the boys could rape her. She said:
“Do you think it was fair, what they got? (The high school
football player) They did something stupid,
but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old
and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don’t take
drinks from other people. She’s 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn’t remember? It could
have been much worse. She’s lucky. Obviously, I don’t know, maybe she
wasn’t a virgin, but she shouldn’t have put herself in that position,
unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.”
