If the school is certain of this girls innocence and is certain they know who the real criminal is it would be incumbent upon them to clear matters
Not what I would refer to as a gentleman.
Exactly what school is being referenced? At first it says Ohio University, then further down it says University of Ohio.
Ohio University in Athens.
“Nolan said that if Cassidy is being wrongly accused and harms herself over resulting cruelty, he’ll still have no regrets.”
Wonder how long until this guy murders someone.
Doing a quick google image search turns up the pick of the girl who was “raped”. Regardless of whether the girl in the pic was Rachel or not, the girl is question was looking at the camera, smiling, and obviously amused by the whole thing. She may have been drunk, but she was very obviously NOT doing anything against her will.
If a woman wrongly accuses a man of rape her punishment should be the same as what the man she lied about would have gotten if it had been rape.
Her name should be in the paper.
This man has wrongly accused this woman and owe her an apology and his attitude is dead wrong. Holding others responsible for what a woman did to him is wrong.
men do get the dirty end of the stick most times in divorce, but that does not justify his harassment of this girl.
Absolutely correct.
this guy needs a new hobby, get over it, play golf, it is far more fulfilling
“men do get the dirty end of the stick most times in divorce, but that does not justify his harassment of this girl.”
Every indication is that it is the same girl. I goggled it and it certainly be reasonable doubt for a jury.
At any rate, the police withholding the name of the girl who made the charge is what is damaging to the girl. That could clear it up very quickly. Who ever made the charge doesn’t deserve protection from the university or the state.
I agree, they need to put her name out there.
In Ohio, one of legal age can say yes and take part in sex; however, if it is proven that she/he was under the influence of substances and was in a state where proper decisions can’t be made it is still rape. The same goes for a situation with somebody unable to make proper decisions, like the mentally ill or those with other mental issues. I don’t know if this is the case here, but I wanted to mention Ohio’s revised code.
Thanks, I looked and there doesn’t seem to be a “University of Ohio”. Then I saw the article was in a New York paper. In New York they don’t have to be accurate, just sensational.
I would suggest to Nolan that he quit publicly guessing at potential false rape allegation suspects, just he I am sure wishes a mere rape allegation, not verified in a court proceeding, not be made part of a public-sex offender register.
He says he is only practicing in a manner of: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, but he’s not.
Seems to be that Nolan is being a bully by putting this woman’s name out there on NO EVIDENCE at all. If I were Cassidy, I’d sue this guy’s A$$ off if he didn’t back off his ‘name and shame’ nonsense, without providing some concrete evidence of his claim.
No evidence? The video plastered on the internet being used for a possible rape case is hardly “no evidence”. What an awful thing... I am so glad I don’t have daughters in this day and age.
Women have gotten away with this kind of abuse for FAR TOO LONG.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!”
Any jilted woman could destroy any man’s life just by claiming: “Oh, he Raped Me.”
Turn about is FAIR PLAY. Hey, Girls, Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.”
I’ve seen too many really good men destroyed by delusional women who thought that rejection was a good reason for revenge.
Men take rejection as an on going thing. Women take rejection to a deranged level that not even a psychiatrist can get a handle on.
Well, Conrad, the ugly picture which led up to this sort of thing was the eradication of any sense of honor in remaining sexually faithful within marriage (and along with it, the shadow of shame for fooling around... some emphasize the loss of shame, but I wish to point out that it is merely the shadow of honor). This honor in turn came from a shared gospel blessing sense with its salvation love-based obligation (for believing Christians) or sense of legal bondage to God (for Jews and legalistic Christians).
I think the restoration of the legal bondage idea won’t come back. The New Testament itself says it’s obsolete. However gospel is not obsolete. Gospel is the most powerful supernatural thing in this mortal coil. I am not ashamed of the gospel. Evangelization in the truest sense is needed. The gospel isn’t “religion.” It’s the power around which men built “religion.” Cutting through the “religious” cant is an absolute must here. I hope to be some small part of that. If God grants the grace for it to reappear in America. And I believe our earnest prayers should be for it to reappear. There is no curse so bad but that the gospel can’t kick it away in God’s time.
