Is this the next rape hoax?
Maybe it’s slim pickens right now.
This professor gets the NY Times to say she was raped in the headline, despite the article itself admitting the man was acquited in a court of law.
____________________________________________
He was acquitted by the judge..that doesn’t mean he didn’t rape her...
something must have happened as he did get a letter in his file...
Something must have happened or something MAY have happened?
Acquitted just does not mean truly innocent, it can also mean insufficient evidence, or the investigators completely screwed up in assembling evidence, or a jury is biased. But either way, the acquitted is legally innocent.
So do you also subscribe to Obama's theory that everyone who didn't vote in the last election actually voted for the status quo?
One of those cases of “imagined” rape that we’ve been seeing a lot of lately.
The poor woman should be institutionalized to ensure that she doesn’t hurt herself.
Acquitted can also mean that the judge decided that what she claimed happened, did not meet the definition of rape.
No I get it from this..
Although he had put Valium and Librium in her drink “a blood test documented a blood alcohol content of 0.13, over the legal limit for driving a car; a toxicology report revealed trace amounts of three benzodiazepines in my system, including Valium and Librium.”....”The judge concluded that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that the defendant knew that I was incapacitated”
Oh yeah I’m sure he didn’t know ...
so nobody at the court said he didn’t have sex with her..even though she was out of it..oh yesah the little gentleman...
It is getting so that each party on a date will have to take a Go-Pro camera and continuously record everything that occurs on the date.
Personally, I’m tired of these campus rapes - I can only have so much sympathy for dumb broads who drink, dope, have sex and then wake up and cry Rape! That’s what happens when you have so many women crying wolf. At some point, people stop caring.
Why wasn’t he charged in a real court?
In America, we are innocent until proven guilty.
Now in Mexico, they are guilty until proven innocent.
Not necessarily: the burden of proof is damn little in a "campus review" hearing. It's a "she-said, he-said" affair, and the "letter" in his file no doubt simply notes that he was accused of something.
IF there were proof, the penalty would have been much more severe, don't you think?
More than likely, she was drunk and decided after the fact that she shouldn't have done it, therefore she "must" have been raped.
Yeah. They can be Marines, submariners, cops, firemen. But, if you ask them to take responsibility for their actions, YOU are cruel!
The girls, some, are really innocent. They WANT to drink, they go with their friends to a big college party, and they want to meet a handsome guy. They do get involved in situations that get out of hand fast. There are some cosby-like situations at these parties. My female young relative was in a frat party, in a crowded basement with friends. Once she was tipsy, there must have been some kind of signal and boom, she looked around and the room had emptied. The guy had his way with her and she DID feel violated afterward, and guilty. She was a virgin too. Was it rape? Maybe not, but coercion where she had no way to say no except not to have gone or drank.
My parents are in their 80s but there was college drinking and carousing in THEIR day. That isn’t going to change.
Of course, it’s not going to change. I agree with Camille Paglia - if you are going to try and live like men (drinking with young guys in basements) you ought to man up and accept the consequences.
And don’t think I don’t have my own youthful experiences. I just didn’t blame others or bring false rape charges.
My opinion also. With sex being a non-issue, why does rape cause so many to react in defense of the alleged rapist?
“Rumney’s smart debunkings leave us with a group of American, British, Canadian, and New Zealand studies that converge around a rate of 8 percent to 10 percent for false reports of rape. Not all of these studies are flawless, but together they’re better than the rest of the lot. They include a massive 1997 report on sexual assault by the U.S. Department of Justice, which includes data from 16,000 local, county, and state law enforcement agencies. The DoJ found that “in 1995, 87% of recorded forcible rapes were completed crimes and the remainder were classified as attempts. Law enforcement agencies indicated that about 8% of forcible rapes reported to them were determined to be unfounded and were excluded from the count of crimes.””
Going through an attack is horrible. Going through the trauma after the attack in reporting multiplies the trauma. If men would report being raped, who would doubt them? Few. Did you know more men are raped than women in the military? Also, the studies can’t include those who don’t report attacks. So add those to the total and the percentage of false rapes drops.
I must respectfully disagree. The consequences of (stupidly) drinking with young guys in basements should be a hangover, not an assault. To say otherwise is to excuse vile and criminal behavior.
Suppose a naive person (stupidly) walks through a bad part of town, and gets beat up. Would you tell that person to man up, and just accept his beating? Or would you call out the attackers for being the thugs that they are?
Certainly there are women who go to parties looking for a hook-up, and regret their actions the next day. So they call foul. I'm not talking about those women. I'm talking about those naive women who go to party, and get attacked for it.
Kick all the men out of college. Start with all the male professors.
