A retiring judge has said women are entitled to "drink themselves into the ground" but must be aware of potential rapists.

In an impassioned sign-off, Lindsey Kushner QC warned girls' "disinhibited behaviour" put them in danger of being raped by men who "gravitate" towards drunken females.

She spoke out as she jailed a man for six years after he raped a drunken girl he and a friend met in a Burger King Restaurant in Manchester city centre on July 23 last year.

The 64-year-old, who has sat as a senior circuit judge since 2002, said judges have often been criticised for putting emphasis on "what girls should and shouldn't do".

But she said it would be "remiss" of her if she didn't mention one or two things.
