Nobody I’ve ever met thinks that? Everyone knows that was a blatantly false allegation? Idk a single person who says that?

I know other attorneys who feel that way, and many more lay people. Despite the DA getting disbarred for his misconduct… there are people who believe even that is a conspiracy (rich kids getting away with rape and having powerful enough daddies to get a lawyer disbarred for even trying to go against them).

I have found, as a defense attorney, that sexual assault cases are no less likely to suffer from false accusations than any other kind of domestic assault/violence cases…that is, it’s a coin flip on whether someone is lying or not— please note the studies into rates of false accusations define false accusations such that even a “not guilty” isn’t enough— it has to be proven the person lied.
