I agree that there are lots who cry rape who weren't. I agree that bad things do happen because of women who cry wolf. I also know of women who just kept their mouths shut because of the kind of abuse given out to rape victims.

And just for fun...
Read all these threads and see how this girl is getting verbally raped on a daily basis. I started out neutral but I have been so sickened by the crude abuse that..oh heck... My southern belle primer just got tossed in the trash.

Because "sorry" won't fix it if her story comes out and it is really heartbreaking and true.

The lesson "I" am getting is that if I am ever raped, I should just skip the law and call my cousins with the big guns, 10 acres and the backhoe.

It sure would be easier to call your cousins than live through a abusive rape trial.

I think what makes this case somewhat interesting ---it's not a stranger hiding in the bush type rape, it may involve a woman consenting to certain acts of sex but not all of them. Obviously her behavior is going to be part of the trial ---because it could get into her motives for accusing him. Since in the eyes of the law, he must be presumed innocent until proven guilty, the burden of proof is on the defense ---but it's not just her word alone that can convict him. Some of us might not agree with all definitions of rape others agree with.
