(CNN) - A judge in Turin, Italy acquitted a man of sexual violence charges because the woman he allegedly attacked did not cry out or "[betray] emotion" during the assault.

The decision has stoked so much controversy that the Italian minister of justice Andrea Orlando has asked officials to look into the case.

The judge's decision actually came down in February, but the reasoning wasn't released until this week. According to the judge, the woman, who was a colleague of the alleged assailant, did not shout or become emotional enough to stop the assault. She simply said, "enough."

The bizarre ruling doesn't end with the acquittal: Not only was the man found not guilty, but now the woman must answer to slander charges.

Justice for sexual assault, in literally every country, is an absolute joke and so embarrassing. She's been raped and is now going to have to pay her rapist money for slander :saladga:

Do you know that it's not the only case in the recent years? in my country it was "she didn't scream enough", it's highly possible that it happened in your country and you don't even know about it because it's not really important to publish it..

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

Internal trauma and fear and repulsion might not always result in screams, just because she didn't scream does not mean she consented to the sexual act. I do not think this acts as a good defence for the defendant.

Doesn't look good for Italy's justice system...

Stand in the light, cast your shadow.
