Who really is the victim?

In my opinion regarding the Anwar sodomy trial, I feel that all these arguments are a conspiracy to make him look bad in the public. The case’s key witness, Saiful, said that Anwar wanted to meet him at the condominium to discuss his work schedule. Anyone who is smart enough would know that you could just discuss a work schedule over a cup of coffee or even at the workplace but why at a condominium unit that belonged to neither Anwar nor Saiful? Another amusing point was why did Saiful agreed to the request? Yes, he did reject Anwar at first, but why did he agree to it after that? Maybe Anwar might have requested for sex with Saiful, but even if Anwar did, Saiful could just reject him again. Saiful also said that he was told to go into the master bedroom first and only then, Anwar entered and closed the curtains. Saiful did not mention that the doors were locked or anything of that kind. He could have just escaped easily if he wanted to. Even if the door was locked, how long would it take to unlock the door while Anwar was busy closing the curtains?

Saiful also said Anwar asked him to “clean up” in the bathroom. Again, Saiful had enough time to call for help. How long would a phone call take? After all, he knew where he was and what was going on so why didn’t he call for help? Weird isn’t it? Next, he said that Anwar was waiting for him in the bedroom with a towel. Why would there be a towel in the bedroom? Saiful claimed that Anwar asked him to clean up, but did not specify whether to put his clothes back on or not after that. So why didn’t he put his clothes back on and instead just wrap himself up in a towel?

After all the points I’ve listed down, who really is the victim here?
