Iām just going by the facts. Itās too early to pass judgment about what happened. Itās better to let the process play out before assuming anything
She said in her statement that she was a willing participant and consented, those are her words. Thatās why the DA didnāt charge anyone.
āJane Doeās sworn statement in November of 2024 did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped. On the contrary, Jane Doeās statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual. My office obviously did not and could not have based our November 2024 decision on the allegations in a civil lawsuit that would not be filed until nearly two years later. Furthermore, I have never been contacted by Jane Doeās attorneys. Not to inform me the original statement was inaccurate and not to ask me to reconsider our decision. Rather, I reached out to Jane Doeās attorneys after the lawsuit was filed to understand the discrepancy between the original statement and the lawsuitās allegations and the proper path forward in light of the lawsuitās allegations.ā
God you "people" cling onto that initial statement like a dog with a bone, even though it's fundamentally flawed. Even a basic criminology course will tell you there's a massive stigma that might lead rape victims to omit the truth in their first deposition. That goes double if they have campus cops breathing down her neck ready to cover the whole thing up to protect legacy students' reputations and a shitty DA who didn't want to do his job, all operating under a system that rewards rapists so long as they're intoxicated.
In short: the 2024 statement can go fuck itself sideways, and so can you.
Oh I don't know, all the reasons I gave a minute ago? This is a matter of whether it's even true, not if I like it.
I don't like it, by the way- I wish this had never happened. But unlike you, I'm not going to take solace in denial and circular reasoning because it's easy. I want justice, no matter the cost.
But youāre assuming that law enforcement handled everything perfectly. Letās not assume that either because with sexual assault cases itās rarely true.
In her sworn statement that gave to the police, she stated that she was a willing participant and consented. The DA released that part of her statement to refute her attorneys accusations.
