[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'm going to be majorly flamed for putting this out there, but why is everyone so absolutely certain that the allegations are true?[/quote]

You should be "majorly flamed." What precisely would anyone gain from claiming to have been raped by seven men? Why do you people fasten on false allegations - which do happen - even though not reporting rape is far more common?[/quote]

I can completely understand why she wouldn't have reported it right away and I also have no doubt that rape is underreported.  The problem I have with this article and the reactions is that it is making many very serious and shocking claims that are tarnishing the school and there is no proof that they occurred.  Everyone involved in the article from the alleged victim, assailant and friends are all anonymous.  The article makes claims that I honestly have a hard time fathoming.  That the seven men premeditated an incredibly violent gang rape, that her friends that supposedly saw her immediately afterwards reacted in an incredibly callous way, that she saw the man a few days later and he thanked her for the great evening, and even the remark later on from the girl who said she should have just enjoyed having sex with seven hot psy phi's seem a bit hard for me to accept.  Of course, it's possible that it could all be true.  What's also a possibility, is that the woman who approached Rolling Stone with these allegations could for whatever reason be lying.  Yes, sexual atrocities can and do occur, even at places like UVA; but there are unstable women who lie about rape also. [/quote]
