Was she? She said he grabbed her by the throat. What’s that mean? He actually did? Did it leave a mark? I mean, if it was strong enough to choke her?

Did his hand brush her throat?

What was her immediate description of what happened to the very first person she told?

These other acts you describe, were they accusations or facts?

You are literally engaging in trial by social media asserting claims as fact when they are accusations.

“They don’t do that unless they have strong evidence” - spoken like someone who has only ever read about the criminal justice system. The news has been filled with stories of unjust actions the entire length of Covid.

You don’t understand how things work. If you can get a criminal charge to stick, then you can threaten to settle out of court for money (with the woman) to avoid her bringing a civil trial.

Is she lying? I have no idea, but your argument is as bad as “that black man wouldn’t be charged by the police for raping that white woman if he didn’t do it. The white woman wouldn’t lie, it must be so scary for her to come forward”. Literally this except replace black with “rich”, the new boogie-man.

Dude should have an internal recorder in his car, like an Uber driver. It would either save him from false accusations or himself.



It wasn’t just one woman who came forward… Obviously, I have no idea what actually happened, but at this point it doesn’t look great.

I hope the truth is uncovered in court and we find justice.


The police are recommending he is changed with rape.

That is - at the very least - a credible accusation.
