The choice of words is the key. “He sexually assaulted her” actually means “he gave her a hug”. It’s evident she wouldn’t report something like that to the police.
Reporting an unwanted hug (to the police, not to the media) as a “sexual assault” is clearly not going to fly.
- aseipp 9y agoI like how the frustrated randos who create accounts on this site purely to justify sexual violence against women can't even be assed to read the article. The one where the police were given the evidence and it's now going to court: > It is also worth noting that once Uber supplied police with the victim’s details both have welcomed us contacting them and have fully assisted with the prosecutions. Both cases were charged as sexual assaults and are at court next week for hearing. I strongly suggest being, like, 1000% less overt with your next account. Then, your position on the matter will only be "very obvious", not "mind-numbingly, unbelievably obvious"
- pwinnski 9y agoWhatever happened, she did in fact report it to the police (after realizing that Uber wasn't going to on her behalf) and it is coming up in the courts. Presumably the courts will hear her characterization of the events then, as well as Uber's, which is all we've heard so far ("he gave her a hug").
