In reply to the discussion: Facts About Rape Committed By An Air Force Pilot [View all]xmas74
(30,034 posts)28. Is it fair that the stalking started with her before the trial?
Is it fair that it has resumed?
This article was planned for a few months, before he was acquitted. It was supposed to be released the same week as the Daisy Coleman article. She pressed charges, he still has a job. She will be losing hers shortly-it's a done deal. Is that fair?
She is in counseling for the incident and the subsequent harassment. She's been diagnosed with PTSD. It doesn't sound like someone who "made a false allegation". It sounds like someone who had something horrible happen. And, if nothing happened, why did the newspaper pick it up and run with it after? Why did the local prosecutor come out and state that she felt the end result was wrong? And why do his friends keep attacking her, in public and in private?

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