(10,810 posts)We cannot convict people just because someone points a finger at them - or we'd darn near all be convicted of something.
We have to have some due process.
They both maintain they were making out in his hotel room consensually. She maintains the blowjob he got was not consensual. He says sex between them was. He said - she said. According to what I've read, she told no one for more than a decade and has provided no other evidence. Washington Post found no other evidence or past claims one way or the other.
The Washington Post couldn't come up with enough evidence to run a story.
If that is all the evidence there is, then this woman is not going to get a result she will be satisfied with.
Unfortunately, if nothing changes, that is her tough luck and the end of it.
Because the converse, to destroy the Lt Gov solely because a woman makes an allegation ... that is not right.
As I've mentioned before, my father rented a room from a prison warden. That warden maintained 30% or so of the men in his prison for sex crimes were innocent.
You have to go through a careful process. Unfortunately for this woman if she is the one telling the truth, there is not enough evidence to take action.
