Andrea Constad went to the police and filed a suit albiet a year after she claimed to have been raped. No forensic evidence by that time, but otherwise was investigated and eventually settled out of court.
I'd like to believe otherwise, that all of these women were not assaulted, but too much smoke hear for me to assume there is no fire and this is all politically motivated.
Filing a lawsuit and having the police investigate are two entirely different things. Keep in mind the standard for finding liability in civil court is substantially lower than criminal court. To find civil liability one need only prove his case by a preponderance of the evidence, which is basically a 51% standard. To find someone guilty in a criminal trial the prosecution needs to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, which is basically a 99.99% standard. It’s curious that Constad didn’t go to the police but rather filed suit.
“No forensic evidence by that time, but otherwise was investigated and eventually settled out of court.”
Hmm, an out of court settlement shouldn’t have impeded a criminal case. If they investigated it and he wasn’t charged, I guess they didn’t find enough to charge him.
