Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2137703, member: 1853"] I am getting pretty angry and upset at attitudes like this and others on here directed towards and judging the girl involved in the alleged incident. While yes I agree that sometimes false accusations in the case of sexual assault and rape are made and it can be totally devastating for those accused and potentially ruin their lives. The opposite is also true. It is often extremely difficult for the victim to prove a sexual assault or rape took place, especially if the perpetrator is high profile - the victims face a lot of pressure not to go through with the complaint. The onus is put on the victim to prove guilt not the perpetrator to prove innocence. In many cases it comes down to her word against his over whether or not there was consent. And often the victim is made to feel like trash or a slut and is not believed or made to feel like she asked for it. I had a friend who was raped and the trauma she went through in having to try and prove it and the way she was made to feel actually led her to commit suicide and that is something I will never completely get over nor will her family or other friends - this has ruined all of our lives to varying extents. And because she committed suicide before the case was concluded, it was closed and he has never been punished for what he did. If it turns out that she has completely made this up, I hope she gets everything she deserves, but just as we can't and shouldn't judge the players allegedly involved without the full facts we can't and shouldn't judge the alleged victim without the full facts.
