In reply to the discussion: Fox Anchor Greg Kelly (And Son of NYC Police Commissioner) Accused Of Rape [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)59. Wait, afterthought. This might have happened:
They couldn't go to her place or his because they both had SOs. So they went to her job. She was consenting, but sometime during the process, she must have realized it was a bad idea said "No, stop!" And he went on.
So, if this is the scenario, he did rape her. But he's never going to be convicted and it's never even going to go to trial, because if consent is in any way ambiguous, it gives that shadow of a doubt needed to avoid a guilty verdict.
It also explains her inaction over the next several months. She'd be wondering if her signal was clear enough. When her boyfriend got the story, though, he called it rape or sexual assault.
So, she would be telling the truth, but it's not going to lead to a conviction, no way.

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.
