251. I'm not saying Woody should go to prison or even to trial. But I don't have to respect him,

and I don't think he should have been given that award.

You obviously have no idea how incredibly hard it is for an abused child to prove the abuse occurred. I applaud this woman for doing the only thing she could do -- speak out.

In the midst of a witch hunt, it also requires courage to defend someone who could be innocent. Bonobo Feb 2014 #171

Uh, guess you should know at what age Woody started taking pictures of her nude. HINT she was not an WCLinolVir Feb 2014 #200

Actually, I think the pictures were discovered in 92, when Soon-yi was 19. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #215

According to what I read at the time, she was a minor and still living with her mother when they WCLinolVir Feb 2014 #413

To any who can't understand why rapes and sexual assaults often go unreported, read this thread! Squinch Feb 2014 #194

There's a good amount of evidence suggesting these were implanted memories. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #209

The prosecutor said he had sufficient cause to charge him, but decided not to bring the Squinch Feb 2014 #216

No, actually he never said that. He said he had probable cause. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #225

The reprimand was overturned. Squinch Feb 2014 #230

The child was interviewed multiple times. By whom, I'm not sure. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #243

She was interviewed nine times, in person Nevernose Feb 2014 #261

And again, do you see why sexual assaults so often go unreported? Squinch Feb 2014 #274

So well put. TDale313 Feb 2014 #278

False memories are not a delusion and she isn't a liar. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #284

But you assume false memory rather than experience, and say that Squinch Feb 2014 #291

Yes, I believe based on the totally anecdotal evidence that it is more likely false memory. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #294

She is talking about her experience, not something she read. Squinch Feb 2014 #296

No, you're wrong. This is not the same as all other cases of shaming victims. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #302

And what you simply don't understand is that YOUR conclusion, however you have come to it, Squinch Feb 2014 #372

And I am horrifyingly sure that this is the attitude that sex assault victims come up Squinch Feb 2014 #288

More than a bit deceptive on your part. She was a small child... Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #283

And when I say she has a right to be heard, you say that I am being deceptive. Squinch Feb 2014 #286

Wrong. Totally wrong. Don't try and shame me for something I didn't say. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #289

"I will not put up with such garbage" is a ridiculous thing to say. What does that even mean? Squinch Feb 2014 #292

It means I'm not going to let you lecture me on the gross underreporting of sexual assault. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #299

It is not for you to "let" or "not let" anyone here do anything. You are not in a position to Squinch Feb 2014 #374
