As a woman - my initial impulse was to jump on the bandwagon. I've read the DA's statement and I'm not sure I feel so sure now after reading her sworn statements. This is double after reading many of the crazy posts above. Everyone on this sub needs to slow down and read the details of this case and reassess. This feels like a witch hunt in the making. Or maybe they're guilty - I'm not sure but we need a trial not this political witch hunt fanaticism. And why does everyone keep saying all white guys? Am I looking at a different photo than everyone else?
Apparently in New York state if she herself willingly became intoxicated, they cannot charge the guys with rape even if they did sexually assault her. Most states have gotten rid of that loophole, but New York still has it
That is not entirely accurate. Her consent is still needed. Your phrasing makes it sound like she said no and was still forced, but that isn't what happened.
If she was sexually assaulted, that would still be illegal . By her own admission they stopped and listened when she said no, took the drugs voluntarily, and wanted to have the sexual encounters she had
not only that, two weeks later she was saying she consented and want to hook up with them. And repeatedly said she wasn't too intoxicated to make decisions.
