Why didn't you take a taxi?

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has been criticised for telling a rape victim: 'I hope you take taxis now.' Viewers of ITV's This Morning have reacted with outrage, claiming that Holmes appeared to blame the victim for making herself vulnerable. He made the controversial remarks during an interview with Hannah Cant, 20, who was raped by a stranger when she was 18. She had been walking home from a night out in Chippenham, Wiltshire, when she was dragged into a car and subjected to a sex attack by soldier Jonathan Haynes. She had the presence of mind to tear out strands of her own hair and spit in the car to leave her DNA at the scene after seeing a similar tactic used on TV show CSI.
