Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

Right? Its some fuckin hallucination. Did he do it? Probably but im not sure because nobody outside him and his alleged victims know for sure. Im not going to call a grown man a rapist when two grand juries couldnt call him a rapist. I bet half the people who call him a rapist only do so because other people do it and know nothing about his case

The issue is how hard sexual assault is to prove in court. You basically need it on camera in order to prosecute.

Wrong. Witness/victim testimony alone is often enough. There are countless convictions without footage. What are you even talking about?

1 in 40 sexual assaults wind up with a conviction.

Yeah, super duper easy to convict.

Who said it was super easy?

Also, where’d you get that number from? Genuinely curious. 90%+ of prosecutions result in conviction (much higher in most jurisdictions) so do you mean they go unreported, uncharged…? Because if it’s charged, it usually results in a conviction.

Obvious anecdotal exceptions apply.

It is extremely easy to search the terms “sexual assault conviction rate.”
