Default Re: More From ESPN

I hate sex offenders more than anybody and feel they usually get off way to easy, however there needs to be serious consequences for false allegations.

I know it's a tough act to balance, you don't want to discourage real victims from coming forward, but you can't have it so they get off scott free when it's proven 100% they are totally lying.

Rape cases are very difficult, just due to the fact quite often it comes down to the "he said, she said" nature of them.

Normally the guy claims it was consentual.

In this case, where there isn't even DNA proof they HAD sex I don't see how in the heck you can prove rape.

I'm trying to keep an open mind. I don't want to be accused of a reverse OJ thing here and be accused of blindly thinking they are innocent despite the facts, however unless we start hearing/seeing some actual evidence other than just her words it looks pretty one sided.
