8. Him being found not guilty because he claimed a sleeping woman

"led him on" so he deserved to do what he wanted to her doesn't make me feel better. It wouldn't make me feel better if she'd been awake and he'd claimed he was entitled to force himself upon her against her will because she led him on.

This is the problem with rape. It's hard to get a person arrested, and it's hard to get a person convicted.

Apparently, she should have "just closed her legs." Butterbean Nov 2013 #5

I'm sure she could have fought off a B-2 pilot. xmas74 Nov 2013 #6

OMFG. Because drunk women sleeping in a guest room saying no = leading him on. Butterbean Nov 2013 #10

He won't be convicted. xmas74 Nov 2013 #12

Yes, I saw that. Is there ANY hope of him being tried in civilian court if he's not active duty? Butterbean Nov 2013 #13

Nope xmas74 Nov 2013 #14

Pardon me while I think ugly things I can't post here. n/t Butterbean Nov 2013 #15

Now you see why this needs shared everywhere. xmas74 Nov 2013 #16

As I posted on your other thread... NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #24

And as I posted back in that thread xmas74 Nov 2013 #25

Was a false allegation of rape fair? NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #26

Is it fair that the stalking started with her before the trial? xmas74 Nov 2013 #28

"She will be losing hers shortly-it's a done deal." NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #29

She's been informed that her job is toast. xmas74 Nov 2013 #30

No, I was not referring to the KC Star article. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #31

Except for the fact that local pd has been contacted xmas74 Nov 2013 #32

Fair enough. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #33

How is that cyber-stalking? historylovr Nov 2013 #39

Exactly. historylovr Nov 2013 #47

Oh, yeah, I got that. :) historylovr Nov 2013 #38

That person seems to have a vested interest in the military xmas74 Nov 2013 #40

That is curious. historylovr Nov 2013 #41

And it makes no sense. xmas74 Nov 2013 #42

Like I said earlier, fair enough. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #43

What made me curious was that you said you were familiar with Whiteman. xmas74 Nov 2013 #44

Okay. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #45
