Amazing how a public image so clouds the minds. Don't people know that's it's just an image and may have nothing to do with a person's character? We can assume the best in people when there's no reports of a victim, but when we have a possible rape victim, people should wait for the evidence before they publically tear her down in a biased way. Glad to see some in the media have enough of a conscience to back off a little and look at the evidence that'll be presented.
