“He was found liable of sexual battery, not rape, and defamation. Total awarded damages of 5 million.”
Yes, but....she accused him of rape....not of sexual battery. If he didn’t commit the rape, then how the hell do they manage to convict him of anything else. Logic would follow.... that if he’s not guilty of the rape, then the incident never happened... because she lied. It’s not rocket science (except to some).
I say that with full realization that it’s New York and that logic has gone bye-bye in cities like NY or in any cities run and ruined by the radical left.
Rape is the act of forcing someone into a sexual act against their will. Battery is the act of engaging in unwanted physical contact with another person resulting in some sort of harm. Not the same thing. The jury basically said that he groped and grabbed her but didn’t rape her.
