It's tiring and in fact dangerous to see some groups continuously campaigning for women reporting rape to be blindly believed.
Being accused of rape is devastating it is just that the police should start with a neutral stance and try to assert the plausibility of the accusation.
- usrusr 7y agoWeeding out the fakes should also be very much in the interest of actual victims.
- ryanm101 7y agoAbsolutely, I agree. The presumption is innocent until proven guilty and the problem with sex crimes is even the accusation can completely destroy someones life regardless even if they are later found to have been innocent. In reality it is no different from ANY other crime in that there needs to be evidence that a crime has actually been committed.
