So, who is the real victim here? The young man is a victim of his own misbehavior (casual sex without commitment), but the punishment does not fit the "crime". But for the Grace of God, there go I, or my boys...

I've long said that birth control pills are just as effective on men as they are on women.
The trick is to hold one as tightly as possible between ones knees. If this young man had followed my plan he wouldn't be in the trouble he is today.

If the article is factual, there's no question as to who's the *victim* here: Rich Gorman is clearly the victim.
To: JimRed; Campion
Before going to trial, Gorman reconnected with his high school sweetheart. They have a 9-month-old baby girl and hope to marry under more normal circumstances. Lost my sympathy here, I'm afraid. Even though he's up to his ears in trouble as a consequence of loose behavior, he obviously didn't learn a thing.

Wake up people! If you are a male, especially a white male, you are guilty until proven innocent. The accuser need not prove her allegations are true; you must prove that they are false.

in todays America, a man can have sex with ones wife and be accused, tried and convicted of rape, if the wife so decides to pursuit it(rightly or wrongly).
Casual sex does not have to enter in this type of 'crime'.

His attorney must have been a complete moron...as was he for having sex with a drunken psychotic on the first date. And if the local DA has nothing better to do than spend a fortune trying this guy twice on such a specious charge, then he is the biggest moron of all.
But somehow, I have a feeling we are only hearing about 1/3 of the story...

interesting railroad tale, IF true. I have seen stories on FR that later turned out to be, shall we say "less than forthcoming"?
We only have one side of this story.

I am very leery of stories such as this where the author has a bias. One jury was hung and one jury convicted. So, more than a dozen average citizens heard all the evidence (including whatever the author has omitted)and believed beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it.
