Found this on a friends FB timeline, and thought I would share.
As a retired police officer (28 years) investigating all sorts of crimes including assaults, rapes and similar I have to ask myself the following questions.
A young 15-year-old girl goes to a country club to swim and dive every day.
No one asked how she got there. Or how far her home was from the club.
After a swim, she gets dressed evidently over her possibly damp swimsuit.
No one asked why.
She leaves and goes to a home five miles away and cannot recall the address or how she got there and by what means she arrived and with whom she went.
No one seems concerned about this.
At the house there are 4 – 8 people all seemingly her age and she gets alcohol
No one questions where the adults were and how they acquired the beer.
After drinking the beer she goes upstairs to a bathroom.
No one asks if there was one on the main floor.
She is then pushed into a bedroom and the door is locked and there are two boys in there.
One is “totally inebriated”.
I dealt with totally inebriated people in the past and they have little if any coordination.
At some point, she is able to jump up and run out the previously locked room with little difficulty.
Instead of running down where others are she locks the bathroom door.
Then she thinks she hears these two talking but doesn’t really only “assumes” they had one.
Then she runs down and out the door and somehow is able to get a ride home during which no one asks about the alcohol on her breath or where she has been or with whom she was with.
Then several weeks later she in the company of her mother comes face to face with one of the alleged boys that assaulted her and instead of being indignant or calling him out she says “hi” and then is put off because he doesn’t say hi back.
Now on top of all this, there are two unnamed men who say they were the two in the room,
No one asks who they are.
As the judge stated several times. I don’t say that she wasn’t assaulted at some time, by someone at someplace. It just seems evident that it wasn’t him.
So – no date, no time, no address, no corroborating witnesses. Leaked confidential letter (should be of no surprise) leaked victim name, failure to tell the accuser that the senators would come to her due to her fear of flying (that is to Washington DC everywhere else is ok)
Attempting to destroy a man's reputation on a single decades old unsubstantiated claim.
So then men (and women) keep in mind if this is the new standard we are all in peril.
