If not pressing libel charges makes you suspicious, doesn't not pressing sexual assault charges make you suspicious too?
If I were the guy and not guilty, I wouldn't really be all too interested in pressing charges, mostly because I'm too lazy and I hate lawyers etc.
EDIT: Now that I think of it, actually I would probably end pressing charges, but my initial reaction would be that of "wtf, why do I have to summon lawyers because someone did something stupid", with emphasis on the wtf.
- cperciva 16y agoIf not pressing libel charges makes you suspicious, doesn't not pressing sexual assault charges make you suspicious too? Somewhat, but the contexts are a bit different. Victims of sexual assault often decline to press charges because testifying about assaults can be traumatic (and even more so being cross-examined). Many simply want to hide and pretend that nothing ever happened. In contrast, people who are wrongfully accused of crimes tend to shout their innocence from the rooftops.
