I tend to think it's right to assume everyone person who claims to have been raped is telling the truth. But a sensible investigator will always have a grain of doubt at the back of their mind.
To say that no false claims of rape have ever been made is nonsense, and they have power to ruin the life of the accused even the accused is later acquitted. I worry that a number of women DO abuse this power sometimes.
I assume that was the point you were trying to make, but knee jerkism corrupted it into an attack on all women. Am I right?
Pretty much, yeah. Also, there was the concern that, if rape victims think they might be accused of being liars, they'll be less likely to report the rape.
Of course. But the law needs to tread the line of believing everything the victim says and protecting the accused. In the efforts to swing the pendulum towards the accuser, we need to be careful that we do not swing it too far.
Well, once again I'm glad to see you haven't dropped off teh face of the earth completely. Second, sorry to hear your friend's in the hospital, I hope it's nothing serious. Third, sorry to hear about the remote, guess you'll just have to get some exercise getting up from the couch to change the channels on the tv with the buttons on the front, nudge nudge. Third, I'm sure you can probably find a hint or a cheat or something for your game on the 'net. Fourth, while rape is a heinous crime and the victims of such should be treated with all the sympathy they can receive, it is true false claims are filed; police should always seek the truth in a case, not just what seems like the first plausible scenario at hand.
Let's see... My friends been endoscoped and they've whipped his appendix out. He's currently recovering. I gotta say, I'm impressed by how quickly they've dealt with this. The remote's fine. I sort of blew into the cracks between the buttons, and the tea came out elsewhere. Sort of like blowing the yolk out of an egg, if you've ever done that? As far as the game is concerned, I'm afraid I've really just hit one of those spots where you have to do a little grinding in order to proceed. Pet hate, but what can you do? As for the rape... To be honest, I got accused of a lot of stuff I didn't do at school, and nobody ever gave me the benefit of the doubt because I was the big "troubled" kid. Getting falsely accused of rape... Well, I guess the thought hits a few raw nerves, you know?
