[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even in a court of law where they have access to all the evidence, to depositions, to witnesses, to investigations, to trials...it can be very hard to know exactly what happened in a case. It is very rare to conclude that something definitely didn't happen in sexual assault cases, it is usually that there is not enough evidence to definitely conclude that it did (which doesn't mean it didn't happen, the evidence is just not sufficient and leaves room for doubt).

So the idea that people on here saying they know for sure it didn't happen based on what they heard on a radio podcast or by reading an article online (that likely is from a source that support their own perspective and confirms their own biases) is ridiculous.  There are only two people who know for sure what did or didn't happen.

In an April 2019 interview Tara Reade "said of Biden: 'I wasn’t scared of him, that he was going to take me in a room or anything. It wasn’t that kind of vibe.'"[/quote]

Yes, I would like the posters defending Reade to find one example of a victim saying something as exculpatory as this.[/quote]

I am one. One way I felt in control was to actually be around the person who assaulted me. To say that I wasn't scared of him. I denied that what he did to me was really assault and as a way to not give him power, I had a 'he can never hurt me' attitude. I have never to this day talked honestly about what happened. My parents and family and friends all believe a very different version of events based on what I told them. I didn't want to be seen as a victim so I reframed the events in my head to create a different version of events. [/quote]
