They’re terrified because they know rape doesn’t mean “stranger in a dark alley” now. It’s the boyfriend who ignores no. The date that forces you to perform a sex act you didn’t want to. The friend who comes into your bedroom when he was supposed to be keeping you safe. And they know what they did.
@TwinkTheory Their men have all been dogs. Not 1 faithful or respectful man between them (Corey Gamble aside) and they epitomise beauty.
So its not that men are unimportant, just that men even cheat on Queens...
@buttnotforme@luna_tick246@JohnWight1@Jaxx1992 She told people/officials at the time. She disclosed to medics & friends/family
If someone is understandably vulnerable and traumatised (& in this case physically injured)so not ready to immediately go through the criminal justice process, they shouldn't be forced to until ready
@Mike_Batt What's the difference between believing someone and treating them seriously and with respect?.
If you respect them, you believe what they re telling you, surely...
@The_Ouroboros__ I think the men with a problem with it, can recall incidents where they havent sought or confirmed consent and are now shitting themselves.
They are projecting their fears
@Leeaafly Its just made people aware of what these people have always thought but kept to themselves.
At least its highlighted why uneducated Jury trials in rape cases should be binned.
@RyanFSamuels The victims (plural) havent hidden in any way. They've given primary evidence in an open court
They're only anonymous post court case to the media and public, so counts like uou can't hound them directly
Wonder why you want women to be too scared to give evidence against men🤔
@buttnotforme@JohnWight1@Jaxx1992 1) cant assume cctv/damage
2) Burglar had previously been a guest, there was no consent, you only let him use your bathroom (didnt consent to him stealing your jewellery), never forgot about it too traumatised, then felt strong enough to re-live it
@MeganSuspended She is in court, named, and in fact her whole life/character scrutinised...
She is only anonymous to the general public.
You don't need to know who she is. She has no shame and doesn't deserve to be known linked to HIS crime
@JohnWight1@Jaxx1992 Rape is the ONLY crime where the victim is presumed to be lying or mistaken.
Burglary victim doesn't get cross examined and accused of asking for it...
@DaizyZeeX *6 victims
*He admitted it in his own book
*He had no defence beyond basic denial
* tonnes of prosecution witnesses
And the untrained jury still only managed to convict on half... thankfully enough for prison.
Juries are not fit for purpose!!!
@Del_Monte20@AWilsonmhealth@PoliceChiefs Agreed. Only downside is that everyone is burnt out and no one will pick up the OT when they're already working 50hr weeks
