Reply #133: i made this point in antoher thread and got slammed for it

[selador]

(the case of the woman who claimed to have been raped by football players at the Uni and the prosecutor didn't even have enough evidence to charge)

allegations are not necessarily true

i don't care WHAT kind of trial it is

she may or may not have been abused. personally, i have no idea

but automatically taking anybody's side because of their gender, etc. is always wrong.

i can say one thing from experience (20+ years in law enforcement) . few arenas see more lying (on all sides) than divorce proceedings. all the more so when there is a custody battle or a lot of money at stake

in general, it's very hard (and sometimes impossible ) to prove a negative.

again, i am not saying she was not abused. i am saying that the fact that she made allegations doesn't mean it happened.
