I REFER to the article 'My cousin married the man who raped me' (February 25).

I am surprised your NEWSpaper printed such an article. It may have been news six years ago when the case was in court but, whatever happened then, Mr Murdoch has served his prison sentence and should now be left to rebuild his life with his wife and two young children.

There is no reason for these children in particular to have all this dragged up again now. This sort of journalism should be confined to cheap "true-life" magazines where it belongs.
