You are both overlooking a couple of key facts:

(1)In the very left-wing Euro-justice systems, the fact that the plaintiff was a mental patient makes it far worse for the defendant. She is thereby in the Euro-systems, incapable of informed consent. It becomes a form of statutory rape.

(2) Even in the USA, a plaintiff's former sexual history is usually not admissible.

Also, claims of rape by German women against American service personnel are far from rare, and of course most are dismissed out of hand. But if in a certain area, the complaints begin to add up, the Germans will seek to make an example out of an American serviceman. For the prosecutor, this mental patient was a godsend! Prognosis: Kelly will be re-sentenced to time served after a while, and released, and ruined for life.

You are both overlooking a couple of key facts:

I've stipulated several times that the "progressive" societies of Germany and America tend to favor the female accuser. Justice will never be perfect.

Sure, there's also public opinion against the American serviceman.

But since those are the KNOWN reality, then they merely add risk and heightened consequences for risky behavior.

Dating for anyone is dangerous these days. You're always leveraging yourself down into risk for some desired reward.

Leaving a disco with a drunk stranger to go have sex is very exciting, married or not, but it's not 1974 anymore.

Any woman can holler out rape or attack at any time, with any honest single guy, and likewise any married woman can claim abuse and take your children.

So I save my indignation for the honest victim being taken advantage by the deviant....whether that's a deviant man actually attacking a woman, or a deviant woman falsely accusing an honest man.

In between there, less interest.

Besides, this thread was intended to draw attention to a author's new book, nothing more.

So the prosecution is allowed to consider the accuser’s mental history and disability to bring charges but the accused is not allowed to bring that history into question as he defends himself. Months later this woman decides she was raped by a Special Forces Soldier who attained the rank of E-7. She sounds like she is crazy like a fox. And this “crazy like a fox” has a motive: If I read correctly if she proved her case she gets disability for life.

Kelly Stewart cheated on his wife one night. It is a terrible mistake for any partner in a marriage to make. However, it is despicable that the mental disability of this accuser was not allowed into Stewart’s defense as her mental state puts into question her accusations as to whether they are true or not! The injustice of this trial is incomprehensible to me.

Kelly Stewart wore the uniform and achieved a rank of E-7, through much service and sacrifice. He made a mistake but to destroy this Soldier’s life based on accusations of a woman with mental health issues is deploreable. As to “selling a book”, isn’t it still concievable to people that there are those among us who see an injustice and do what they can to right a wrong? Bob McCarty has written extensively on Michael Behenna too, in his effort to help Mike and get his story out. I’m thankful to Mr McCarty, somebody needs to take a stand for our troops and writing a book is a way to get the truth out there. I reject the premise that he just wants to sell books as was posted above.

I have entertained the thought that Kelly Stewart’s conviction was political and I believe Michael Behenna’s to be too. It is disheartening that there is not more defense from this military regarding one of our own and it is infuriating that quite frankly, they appear, in some cases, to participate in disregarding pertinent testimony that would aid in the defense of a Soldier. Our Soldiers darn well better be Army Strong!

Lastly, for USAA to freeze the accounts of this family because Kelly Stewart doesn’t “meet their standards”, and this from a company that professes “to care”. Mrs. Stewart serves also and to deny her funds to take care of her children is downright cruel. Shame on the Army for their total lack of support here.
