What happened to innocent until proven guilty? What happened to the details? And why now? How can this assault on a person’s character and integrity be tolerated? And no – I do not agree with an FBI investigation or even a Senate inquiry. This situation supposedly happened when they were minors and possibly drunk. Who of us can remember what we did stupid, as minors. Hell, who as adults especially if we were drinking heavily, can remember what we said or did last weekend let alone back when we were kids???
What is not taken into account, are the actions SHE did admit to, but is conveniently overlooked! And let’s not start with the “no means no” swan song.
It seems SHE placed herself in an environment that COULD have lead to an incident with ANYONE of those boys. But she can’t remember the important details!
From what has been reported …she as a 15 year old girl went to an all boys school for a drinking party already puts her in a compromised situation! Did she go alone to this “party? ”Where were her girlfriends? Usually girls run in packs to protect each other! Did her parents know where she was going? At 15 years old, shouldn’t they have known? Also it sounds like she was dressed for a pool party! And if something DID occur, did she tell her parents, were the police immediately notified that an incident occurred with underage drinking going on? Evidently not!
I am not saying unwanted touching, assault or rape is acceptable BUT…women especially young women need to take more care in knowing their surroundings and take responsibility for putting themselves in a compromising situation or harms way. When you go into a dorm room, a hotel room what is the first thing you see A BED! Even going to a man’s apartment can give that man the expectation you are “OK” with what may happen. Stop and think!
