In this particular case the missing elements rightly draw suspicion of motive.
Look at all of the pictures in the link below and tell me that on the second day of her trip with her husband she was sneaking out to betray her marriage. You may think most married women are like most male cheaters, but they are not:
Explain to me how her husband still trusts and defends her and is willing to come out publicly to defend her and demand justice if there was any true suspicion that she was a cheater? From the photos in the link just above, does he look like a wimp to you?
Why are you complete strangers who think of yourselves as conservatives so willing to defend a random male thug/rapist from an impoverished foreign country rather than simply keep an open mind that this American woman may indeed be telling the truth?
Do you think she got to the age of 40+ by being a sneak and a liar, by the looks of her photos, which show an open, happy, trusting expression? Is she dressed seductively? No. Is she making a duck face in the photos? No. Is she wearing a ton of makeup? No.
But sight unseen as of the original post, people here on FR immediately think her motives are suspect or even extramarital, and that she is lying because why—the poor journalism is somehow her fault? I'm embarrassed for you that you think of yourselves as conservatives.
Conservatives just watched hordes of women launch obviously ludicrous rape hoaxes and stick to them for months.
The common theme in all of them were flimsy stories with no evidence, hinging entirely on the woman’s claims.
And here we have a flimsy story with no evidence hinging entirely on the woman’s claims.
If you didn’t have ANY suspicions about this story, you are too gullible to be an effective conservative.
You sound like you hate men and Dominicans. Check your own biases.
Truth is we don’t know what happened. Her story is fishy, “I just saw a uniform, nothing else;dunno if I was sexually assaulted”. Very Smollettish.
