In reply to the discussion: Fox Anchor Greg Kelly (And Son of NYC Police Commissioner) Accused Of Rape [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)46. If she's that dumb she'd be in far more trouble far sooner.
So, she's caught cheating, that's being in the frying pan. Does she then throw herself into the fire by making a false criminal charge against somebody so fucking powerful and connected, that is, connected to the police and the DA? Think of the risk vs. rewards here. Her reward is that she gets to keep her boyfriend. Perhaps she also gets to write a book (but that's not her motive, you say.) The risk is that ends up under criminal charges herself. The definite is that she brings public scrutiny and infamy on herself for months and maybe years, having every aspect of her sex life examined, having prosecutors shame her and her sex life on the stand.
I admit there are people that stupid in the world. However, the odds say you can't count on somebody who won the idiot lottery at birth in any particular circumstance, especially when there's an answer that doesn't require extraordinary odds of a woman having the intelligence of a lobotomized gerbil. Like, perhaps, he did rape her.

I predict that all this incident will do is tarnish Mister Kelly's reputation (such as it is).

Not exactly - many don't report rape until years after it happened, or even at all

I really hope no national media finds it "newsworthy" until some actual evidence can be displayed.
