And?

You can be a rape victim and still mercenary. There are literal film genres of sexually abused women extracting disproportionate vengance

Let's remember that nothing of that shit we assume matters and that only evidence and a presumption of innocence matter. Sadly all possible cases happen all the time so we better are sure what happened.

If she's found to be lying, which seems likely, the lying slag should be jailed for the false accusations.

Why don't we let the fucking courts decide who is and isn't guilty instead of pouring unnecessary public scrutiny onto an already difficult process?
