“When pressed on the details as to what happened, Susan Shannon does not state that she actually recalls the alleged rape by David W. Riggins,” according to the complaint. ”Rather, she only asserts that she woke up the next morning and concluded that she had sexual intercourse with someone the night before.”

In reality, according to the lawsuit, Riggins said the two had dated briefly, and that she had left West Point to pursue medical school.

The jury agreed that Shannon had defamed Riggins with her blog post, damaging his career and livelihood with her posts about the rape.

The court ordered her to pay him $3.4 million in compensation, with another $5 million on top in punitive damages.

Under Virginia law, the AP reported, her actual damages will probably top out at $2.3 million. Her attorneys are planning an appeal.”

I guess there was just not that much money in jewelry designing and motherhood.

Joking aside, two damaged lives and families.

Lots of parallels with Kavanaugh. The only difference is I don’t think there is any doubt Ford is nothing but a Demon’s tool being used for the end justifies the means.

I hope DiFi and the gals get what’s coming to them. They will eventually.

Thank-you for the link.
