10 Red Flags About Sexual Assault Claims, From An Employment Lawyer
The Federalist ^ | September 25, 2018 | Adam Mill

Posted on 09/25/2018 10:36:27 AM PDT by detective

I stand athwart the streamroller of sexual misconduct complaints that crush the innocent, end marriages, and destroy careers. In the Me Too era, I am an employment attorney in the politically incorrect vocation of defending who must pay if misconduct is found.

My skin is thick, and I do not melt when asked, “How dare you!” I dare because I do not want the innocent to be wrongly punished. I know it’s a very unfashionable to advocate on behalf of the presumption of innocence, and I am often reminded of how insensitive and outdated the principle is in today’s climate.

Of course, courtesy to the alleged victim is absolutely essential to be effective. To do otherwise is completely counterproductive and quickly turns the focus from the facts to the conduct within the inquiry. So I go to great pains to make my questions respectful.

I don’t interrupt. I don’t impugn. I just ask the accuser to walk me through what he or she is saying entitles him or her to damages. We know from cases like the Duke lacrosse team that mob justice can trample defense of the falsely accused.

This is an excellent article.

"These accusations destroy the lives of the accused, often men, and bring devastation to the women who love and support them. Some of the falsely accused commit suicide. When the mob attacks legitimate inquiry into the accusation, it’s a sure sign that the mob isn’t confident about the truth of the allegation. Rather than shrink in fear when attacked, we should take it as a sign that there is a risk that the accused is innocent, and the questions need to keep coming."

Yes, but he’s probably a cisgender white male member of the elitist patriarchy so everything he says is invalid.

It is a great article. And Ms. Ford (or whatever her name is) gets 10 out of 10.

The drunken lying slut ford, and the blotto, questionably-conscious, drunk lying whore ramirez both score a 10 out of 10.

I’d call that a hat trick 10 for 10.

When I was falsely accused at the Defense Language Institute in 1993, four of these Red Flags applied.

PFC Letourneau, you were never Marine material and you are a liar and a skank. The command saw right through your lies you filthy bitch.

My wife was in DLI (Monteray, right?), 1990.
The stories she has of what enlisted women were like there is bone chilling.

These whores are on jobs programs, and couldn’t care less about defending a nation. The one in question wanted out of the Marine Corps and chose me as the means to achieve it.
