Rape does happen. Period.I have never denied that the crime of rape occurs. However, there have been hundreds of men falsly accused of rape; who have been imprisioned unjustly. Is this a case of extortion? Or a girl who feels 'cheap' in the morning? Did she find out she didn't get pregnant, and then missed the opportunity to live on child support from a Super-star for 18 years? Or ... did the crime occur? I have not heard any facts either way.... I just have questions at this point in time; and have this odd habit of believing a person innocent until proven guilty. Funny isn't it .... rape is the one crime where a man is considered automatically guilty until proven innocent.

That was exactly one of my points. I don't know if either one are telling the truth. Who knows? Someone is lying. Questions about the case and the facts are always a good thing. I wasn't so much making a point about this girl (child support or otherwise) than I was that often times we accuse without having all the facts. Either way someone is going to pay dearly. So I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, I dont have the facts either. I agree with you that men can be and have been falsely accused of rape. My point in general was that false blame can be applied to both sides. Male or female.
