I agree, this was sick. However I think it is a question of balance to ensure real rape victims come forwards. She has properly lost her family, has lost her reputation, and has been has all the details for her horrible crime released to the public, so that is at least something
I think this again shows the need for total media blackout from reporting cases involving rape, it is NOT in the public interest. So in cases like this the mens reputation isnt ruined. Also she could get the time she deserves.
