ORIGINAL: Termyn8or So some of what respectmen says is true. There is a difference in treatment by law. And this does not even deal with the draft. Hey, I think the guy spouts off too much about this shit and really does nothing else for the place, but those last couple posts should have him creamin his jeans. Pest, annoyance at times and all that. You know now he can quote you... "Larf" ! (not at you, jussayin) T^T Personally, I think the attitude is a lot of 'its a guy, it shouldn't have bothered him', which is an attitude perpetrated by other males. It would have been helpful to know the gender of the cops, DA, etc. This could also be interpreted as 'he is not traumatized enough by this to press charges or demand that she be prosecuted, but he is traumatized enough to go for the money, so is he exploiting this opportunity to try and get some money out of it'. Then there is the argument that prosecuting her means he would have to go through a trial, and his reputation would be put on the stand, and he would be slut-shamed, and he couldn't handle that (which is why many rapes go unreported) so he just decided to get justice another way. The civil trial process would seem less invasive than a criminal court process, perhaps. So if that is the motive here, I can't argue that. I would think though that having a criminal conviction behind it would make a civil case stronger. Regardless, IMO, she should be charged and prosecuted fully. And yes, he was smart to stop it and get police involved. Had he not, who knows what could have happened had she sobered up the next day and had fuzzy memories about it. She could have turned it all around on him. And that would have been tragic.
