TRANSLATION:

"ACTUALLY, I FILED THE LAWSUIT AND EXPLAINED WHY THIS STATUE IS SO PROBLEMATIC, BECAUSE IT VALUES THE RAPE CULTURE, IT VALUES THE IMAGE OF A GUY WHO COMMITTED RAPE, IT VALUES A GUY WHO HAS BEEN CONVICTED, WHO UNFORTUNATELY IS ONLY FREE IN THIS EXACT TIME BECAUSE SHE PAID, HAD MONEY, AND THAT MAKES US QUESTION WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A WOMAN, WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A WOMAN'S DIGNITY."
