Agreed,
I gather there was a lot of thought put into pressing charges.

As for the girl being emotionally unstable...
Geez louise,
She can be a paranoid schiz with a personality disorder and imaginary friends.

There is a very nasty message being sent out here...
you better not have ANY problems or ANY past or ANY of the quirks that are part of growing up.

Rape is rape....

agree-rape is rape. Unstable people can be raped.

Rape is rape....

Of course, but false accusations are still false accusations.

In cases where there are no witnesses, inconclusive physical evidence, and plausible allegations of consensual sex, how do you propose to determine which side is telling the truth. In those instances the case comes down to a credibility battle and the relevant history of both parties that bears on their credibility will be brought into play. There is no other way.

I agree with you but I have a problem with women who cry rape when they were never raped. Just look at Tawana Brawley and her story. This girl ruined alot of lives because people were to quick to believe everything she was saying.
