When the suspect is acquitted, does that mean the girl is no longer pregnant? This is an even more absurd point.

  If the suspect is acquitted in both the legal system and court of public opinion, than there had been an additional injustice: an innocent man had his name drawn through the mud. Right now the only evidence being presented is his confession: confessions suck as evidence. And it seems he is not a native English speaker. Non native English speakers are especially prone to false confessions (in America), because they don’t understand everything being said and signed. “Sign this paper please, it’s a receipt for your goods. Now sign this paper, it’s consent to medical treatment by prison staff. Now sign this paper, it summarizes everything you told us so you won’t have to be questioned again.” There are DNA tests being done as we speak. If raped her, the only way he’s getting away is if someone else raped her too and that other person impregnated her too (DNA is from fetus).

    None of this addresses the issue that recently enacted laws prevented the victim from receiving treatment.
