Ok, it sounded like you were saying you had some additional information that there was sexual abuse (like he was a known cheater or something). You’re just saying it’s possible even if it was not reported. Fair enough, the guy sounds absolutely wretched and probably doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
When all you have is a few bone fragments and a bunch of teeth, it’s pretty hard to figure out what my dude looked like! With each new fossil we get a better picture.
The government can press charges on your behalf, but if you’re resistant they will often let the matter drop. It’s really hard to win a case like this if the victim refuses to testify.
I don’t know, man. If you start a gofundme I’ll donate, but in reality you’d need a mutual aid movement like the black panthers to protect against these militarized fascist thugs. Calling her a coward is bullshit, we can’t demand other people step up for martyrdom.
You’re the one calling her a coward. How is that protecting her? Start organizing and I’ll join you. Keep calling her a coward for refusing to step up with no protection and I’ll know you’re a hypocrite.
You can use an alternative term like “anti-choice” while reporting on them. You can also insist on defining the term whenever you use it. “Pro- natalists, who believe that unwilling women should be forced to give birth”, something like that.
Reading the article, it looks like the accused was originally acquitted in a jury trial, but the victim’s brother appealed and so they were going to try him again. At that point he asked for the trial by combat. I’m glad they just dropped it, sounds like the case was pretty flimsy.
