That’s an excellent read.....follows their ‘plays’ 100%.......posting others to this.
I don’t think so.
Number 6?
6. The accused makes a strong and unequivocal denial. In most cases, there’s some kernel of truth to even the most exaggerated claims. When the accused reacts with a dissembling explanation full of alternatives and rationalizations, I tend to find the accuser more credible. Rarely, however, the accused reacts with a full-throated and adamant denial.
This guy want a half hearted denial?
’ In most cases, there’s some kernel of truth ‘ Rubbish. There are plenty of people falsely accused of sexual harassment or accused using what the woman claims / believes is sexual harassment.
I think you are reading it wrong...it took me a few reads to get it. He’s saying when the accused adamantly denies it, it’s believable. At least that’s how I read it.
Kavanaugh said the attack on Ford may have happened. It just wasn’t him.
“When the accused reacts with a dissembling explanation full of alternatives and rationalizations, I tend to find the accuser more credible.”
It sounds like most of the cases, the accuser DOES have what they think is a legitimate claim. And that he often hears a lot of B.S. when the person is trying to explain things away. But when the accused just comes out and says “I have no idea what they are talking about - I was never even at the party” - most of the time the accused is innocent.
This really is an amazing article on how spot-on it is.
Yep, 10 out of 10.
Yes, this article is about red flags regarding accusations—not a red flag against the accused.
The end of #6 says, “...Rarely, however, the accused reacts with a full-throated and adamant denial. When it happens, it’s a red flag that the accusation might have problems.”
Not #6. If it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen.

Sexual harassment and rape allegations are THE MOST LIED ABOUT things and cops nationwide have the statistics that prove it. Far more than any other complaint/statements.
Odd how the inappropriate advances of women toward men are rarely, if ever, discussed. Imagine a man bringing these charges against a woman for an incident that happened decades ago. Is it assumed this never happens or that men would never recall them?

You missed the last part...
“Rarely, however, the accused reacts with a full-throated and adamant denial. When it happens, it’s a red flag that the accusation might have problems.”
Unless he's gay or transgender, of course, or a commie who only eats soy. Any of those conditions kind of cancels out being a white male.

Outstanding post. Thank you post putting it all out there.
Oh, so now you have an experienced lawyer playing the evidence and due process card, huh? How low can you sink?/s
No, he’s saying an adamant denial by the accused is a red flag. I thought the article was pretty good until that.
