Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2900877, member: 2065"] And a couple of more relevant articles: [URL]http://www.nationalreview.com/article/449564/campus-rape-hysteria-trumps-education-department-can-restore-due-process[/URL] [URL]http://www.nationalreview.com/article/452779/betsy-devos-campus-rape-controversy-jerry-brown-sides-education-secretary[/URL] [URL]http://www.nationalreview.com/article/451207/besty-devos-campus-sexual-assault-title-ix-overreach-curbed?target=topic&tid=6702[/URL] Re the Hayne allegations, there are a number of concerning aspects to the allegations, and I can well understand the reluctance of the DA to pursue a criminal charge based on the version as indicated in the court documents. I also find the behaviour of stealing a pair of his underwear to be questionable. I am somewhat cynical about this case, two possible explanations for her actions re the underwear are (a) she was seeking a trophy after bedding a 49'ers player or (b) she was already thinking of collecting evidence to support a claim. If she truly believed that she was raped, why not seek medial treatment and get a rape kit done? That would hopefully provide compelling evidence of sexual intercourse and the identity of the other party. It may also provide evidence supporting a sexual assault - eg nature of the injuries etc. There is much that we don't know. Is there any evidence of fresh complaint, of her complaining to a trusted friend within a short period of time that she was raped. Or did the allegation first surface months later? If Hayne has retained competent representation, they probably have an investigator already looking into her story. If they can produce one or more former partners who have had sex with her, does her story start to fall apart? The most likely outcome is it will be the subject of a confidential settlement. The size of that settlement (which we will never know) will provide the most accurate view of whether there is any substance to the allegation. If she settles for basically go away money, I would think there is doubt over her version. [/QUOTE]
