But because it is rape, it somehow needs to go through a microscope. When it comes to rape, her word should stand on its own, because in most cases there is only her word and the physical evidence. People usually don t sexually assault others in public. Innocent until proven guilty. I think this event is mistakenly being treated like it s a case of sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is far from the realm of rape.
The fallout from sexual harassment cases has poisoned society into irrationally thinking that any alleged crime that relates to sex should first be doubted. Women have felt this backlash, not only in sexual harassment cases, but also with any sexual impropriety done to them. Then they fight an uphill battle for vindication. If guilty, those four men surrendered to their demons only to jeopardize everything for just mere moments of pleasure. Please don t mistake me for some moral crusader.
