And they were found to be innocent and charges were dropped. Next.
Yeah and this was after 6+ Months of being in the news every single day, costing the families thousands and thousands of dollars, loosing a year of athletic eligibity (Which happen to be one fine young mans last year), not including effects on school, or having the image of the Duke Lacross Rape boys. What pisses me off about that, and I will try not to go on a tangent on that, is not only did the prosecutor have no case (and he knew it), but that takes credibility away from every female that does get raped.
I think the legislativly this topic is so grey area that it would be very hard making laws/ interpreting them.
Rape is aweful and No means No. The problem with this is, even if there was a law that any time during sex a female says no, it is considered rape. It would be impossible to prosecute. IE can she whisper no when she is taking it doggy style so quiet that he doesn't hear her? Is that still rape. Or if she says during sex, how is that prosecuted. Theres 2 witnesses, 1 will say no, 1 will say yes. Since they already had sex DNA doesn't matter.
If this is the case and you say place individuals in jail without evidence, the obviously theres going to be a tremendous ammount of boyfriends in jail because of Pissed off ex's or girlfriends. Its sad, but the truth.
