[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My impression is that it's too easy to fling mud and almost impossible so many decades after the fact to tell who is telling the truth and who is getting even.  There are so many of these stories out now that I think people are starting to tune them out, tbh.

I think that some are telling the absolute truth, [b]some are twisting facts/memories to fit this agenda and some are flat outright lying in order to jump onto this sympathetic bandwagon.[/b]

It only underlines how very important it is to file a complaint when an incident happens so that a proper investigation can take place.  At the same time, I totally get why a woman would not want to put herself through a process like that.

In this country, you are innocent until proven guilty, though.  Simply making an accusation is not enough to prove that it happened.

Does the same apply to all the kids molested by Catholic priests? [/quote]

To a degree, yes.  If decades have gone by it will be a lot harder to prove that an assault happened.  Just pointing a finger at someone and saying "That guy did it" is not enough to win a conviction.  You need proof.  Without any evidence it's not going to be an easy thing to prove.

You can't just accuse somebody of a crime and expect the person to be automatically found guilty.  It never works that way.  Nor should it work that way.[/quote]

but they aren't trying to accuse anyone or pointing fingers. Most are not naming naming names. They are simply coming out and saying " this happened to me." I think it is great and it's never too late. I hope that this movement and letting survivors of sexual assault know that they are not alone and the people believe them will lead to other survivors coming forward and reporting it when it happens so men can finally be held accountable. There are so many reasons these things don't get reported and that has to stop.

I find it so sad how many women don't believe other women. The instances of false accusations are only 3-5% so it's a lot more likely they are telling the truth than lying. [/quote]
