The "side of caution" is innocence.

• phailhaus 9y ago
  No, clearly the "side of caution" people are taking is on the side of accuser. Given that a significant percentage of rapes go unreported, people believe it's more likely that the accuser is telling the truth than not. The problem is that there is very little evidence of rape other than personal testimony.

    Oh, I see what people are saying. It's just wrong. You can't convict people of a crime that could put them in jail for decades purely on an accusation.
    • phailhaus 9y ago
      Yes, but the reality people are facing is that it's either that or rapists go free most of the time.
      • gozur88 9y ago
        Then rapists go free. That's the price of not putting innocent people in jail.
