    I can see how it was confusing. I worded it weirdly. I’m my point was Duke had 1 person accusing something. DW is up to 12.

    I’m biased towards believing women, not just these women and not just dismissing them as a money grab, Investigations need to be done. Watson gets to defend himself. Quit misquoting people and trying to cleanup your stance. You think Watson did nothing wrong. Just say it. I mean you are actually trying to prove his innocence and now saying even if he did it that without medical evidence they can’t prove it. Which is blatantly false.

    No, I am not comparing the crimes. I am using it as a rush to judgement warning. Again, the case is so early, people should just pump the brakes a little. I think most everyone has said it looks bad for Watson. My point in bringing up Duke is that the court of public opinion is often misinformed and people should wait to condemn. Watson is in a bind because of the number of people accusing him no doubt, but my post SPECIFICALLY stated I wasn’t comparing the crimes, but rather the rush to judgement.

    I really wasn’t responding specifically at you and so probably shouldn’t have quoted you, I know what you are saying, I was just making a general statement about the Duke case. 1 accuser is a rush to judgement, I get it, We also don’t need to rush to judgement in this case either. However, the Harvey Weinstein Case is the best example of what’s going on with Watson.

    Thanks. I just took exception to introduce the idea of “rape” into the context of discussion. I’m not aware of any allegations of rape toward Watson. It was my misunderstanding.

    I believe forced oral sex is considered rape?

    It is.

    Slapping someone hand with your junk is at minimum an assaultive offense as well.

    yes!

    It is CRITICALLY unfair to Watson to rush to judgement and condemn his character under the assumption he’s guilty just based off of allegations and the “number” of accusers. He IS ALREADY suffering damages due to this being in the court of public opinion, regardless of whether he’s actually guilty or not. He probably has done some stupid, maybe illegal behavior, the merit of the allegations and the legality of the transgressions are to be determined by due process. But either guilty or innocent, his formerly good reputation has and continues to be tarnished.

    and like it or not, plaintiff’s attorneys exploit the unfair and brutal nature of the court of public opinion to their clients’ (and their own) financial advantage. It’s a VERY common practice.

    A sex crime accusation, coming from 1 or 12 is plenty damning. regardless of whether anyone is found guilty or not. If Watson is proved to have been guilty with only 1 person, it just as horrific. Due process is due process and the Duke case better illustrates that because Harvey was indeed guilty and the Duke guys were not. That is why I used that example because to use Weinstein assumes guilt right now. I am not defending Watson, I am defending due process.

    Yes. But issue is first, did she consent by definition, and second did it actually occur.
