BREAKING: Virginia LG Justin Fairfax sexual assault accuser named

[moriah]

205. Unfortunately in most rape cases there is little absolute proof.

Rarely are there ever cooperating witnesses, except to discussions after the fact or the fact the two were alone together.

While DNA evidence found on a murder victim, or a victim of an extremely violent stranger rape, could provide proof... without the proof they were not friends/acquaintances and either physical evidence of a violent confrontation or a drug test showing they were roofied... DNA in a "rape kit" can be called the results from consensual sex.

So there are many victims of rape who simply don't have "good cases" to present to cops. And may, knowing the difficulty of prosecution, delay or never report.

At the same time, because there are rarely witnesses to consensual sexual encounters either... it's very hard to disprove an allegation.

If I were Fairfax, I'd be looking at whether there were any emails archived between them after the Convention that weren't work-related. She claims she cut off all contact, he says they remained in contact. Unfortunately, my earliest account on Gmail is from around the 2004 election, not the DNC convention, and while I'd archived all my sent mail and didn't delete emails on the Yahoo account I had then... it wasn't a default setting because of space concerns then.
