why do I get the feeling that its almost impossible to get justice when dealing with the rich good old boys and their rich connected daddies....

which is why MOST victims of rape never report it....the blame will always be cast on them....their liars...their drunks...they're sluts..they asked for it..and God forbide if they ever dared to have sex with anyone else in their lives because that occasion will be widely broadcast.....

but maybe these frat boys will do like Kobe Bryant...just quietly pay his victim off to stop the civil suits......

But what if it never even happened? See the Duke Lacrosse Case for the pattern.

What you say has merit . . . just not enough info yet.

And how can you, or anybody else, possibly know that?

It would require absolute certainty as to how many rapes had actually occurred versus the number reported.

Only God has that knowledge.

Here's the problem. Most females who are date-raped presumably know it's he said - she said.

Which it is. Making proof beyond a reasonable doubt very difficult. In fact, in most cases I would say it's impossible. For what other crime do we convict person A on the unsupported testimony of person B?

When a young woman goes off alone with a young man, she is stating in the most eloquent way possible that she trusts him utterly.

There are young men deserving of such trust. Though not particularly young anymore, I was trustworthy then as I am now. Nothing bad would happen to a young lady with me while I was still alive and able to fight.

But how do young ladies know this about random guys they meet in bars, online or at a frat party? Yet they demonstrate by their behavior that they do indeed trust them.

Illogical and frankly stupid behavior.

It should be noted that any young man who takes a young women home is demonstrating the same level of unjustified trust, albeit in a different way.
