Not going to defend any rapists on here, I just want to say that anyone knowingly bringing a false allegation against an innocent person for a crime like this, is why so many people demand proof, often when none can exist.

I always want to believe what victims say. I usually go by the mantra of "trust but verify".

To anyone who is genuinely a victim, all of my compassion goes out to you. I hope you are doing well and that the perpetrator is behind bars. I know they often aren't, but I can hope.

Take care

It's still weird when so many people came out of it and the pictures and everything that can count as "evidence" might not be enough to put someone behind bars. But that doesn't mean you have to make him president.

Agreed on all points.

There really shouldn't need to be much evidence in these cases, in my opinion. I believe this specifically because it's often difficult or impossible, depending on the circumstances, to have evidence of the crime.

Often crimes that involve involuntary sexual acts are done in isolation, where only the perpetrator and victim are present, and very little unique physical evidence is generally left behind.

I think that's tragic. I also think that it's deplorable that anyone would bear false witness or make a knowingly false accusation for the same. Doing so casts doubt onto people who are victims of that crime, so now it's harder for them to get their abusers, the criminals that they are, sent to jail where they can no longer harm anyone else.

There's also a measure of doubt that some have sewn that accusations should always be considered false until proven otherwise. Of course, in all legal proceedings, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, is the norm. However, there's a nontrivial number of enablers that shed doubt onto someones abuse without any reason to do so.

Rapists and their enablers need to be sterilized, the old fashioned way, by chopping everything off.

I have no sympathy for such filth in our society. I just wish there was a sure-fire way to prove that anyone who has been a victim, is indeed a victim. So that the courts can do their job and get these fucks out of our society.

And the cheeto in chief is not exempt from this.

Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. Donald Trump is a child rapist.
