a rape trial will begin and the world will hear all about it. Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood mogul, will face five charges of sex crimes. Dozens of women have accused him of using his position to prey on them. In 2017 their testimony helped set off the #MeToo movement. If found guilty, Mr Weinstein, who denies all allegations of non-consensual sex, could spend decades in prison.
Joe is a 40-year-old banker. He says that on the night in question, they kissed and then had consensual sex. The next morning she left before he woke. But he says they have stayed on friendly terms. He says it was a classic one-night stand: “she was totally into it.” She is now “clearly lying”. Victims may not report their ordeal for a number of reasons, such as embarrassment or thinking it will not help. They may remain in contact with their assailant for work reasons. They may flirt with him or have sex with him again as a way to regain, or establish, a sense of control over their relationship.
People who know Jane, or think they know her, are likely to find her story more credible. “The Weinstein case is greatly helped by those accusing him being well-known actresses [whom] the public trusts,” says Elaine Herskowitz, an investigator and consultant. And by the fact that Mr Weinstein doesn’t look like George Clooney, adds Bennett Capers, a professor at Brooklyn Law School. If Joe is good-looking both men and women are more likely to believe him than if he is not.
The police decide to question Joe. He accuses Jane of lying. He says she is jealous because he has started a new relationship. She is now “crying rape” for attention, he suggests.
Ironically-and remembering the justice system is only one piece to this-while the first line of defense is weakened/mocked: FEAR OF GOD'S RETRIBUTION. Many women hate the very faith (Biblical Christianity) that, if taught, protects them more than any Belief/Law System on earth.
Is this not an oxymoron?

Husky videos.
If u want to get rid of it we need separate bars, schools, reaturants etc.
Everything is stacked against women because we didn’t get let in making the rules
In india most of the lawmakers are themselves rapists, hence no conviction.
I would say the backlog of rape kits sitting at police departments nationwide is why some rapists are not being caught and convicted, how can they have so many untested kits waiting, past and future victims depend on police to take action, yet rape kits collect dust.
Yes, let's guide rapists on how to escape conviction.
لأن المغتصب أقرب للحيوان منه للبشر
Because they end up in the White House and on the Supreme Court
😭
Because if all of them were arrested, there would not have left any president, ruler, prime-ministers, that fuck their people globewide!😎
well in Trump's cases these stupid women came forward decades AFTER THAT FACT!!
Apparently, most towns in the UK are full of grooming gangs and the awful things we've permitted to happen against British Children, go on still, every single day. Some S Workers say it's getting worse, as the perpetrators don't fear British Law. That's how far we have fallen
because the rest of them are democrats.
2 things: With the prisons full of foreign nationals, some 23%, there is little room for indigenous population (although, as we have seen, most are from a certain ethnicity). The courts are filled with do gooders and sympathisers.
What is the current system working in UK and in western world but : Mercy and rehabilitation in Britain's prison system . Mercy only works for criminals ,but unfortunately a 'little' less for victims
Because white male judges overly and bizarrely sympathize with white male offenders, probably because they too have their own skeletons.
Cos women kiss with their eyes closed ?
Maybe they don't in Britain. Not paying to read the story. Hasn't been my experience in 20 years as a criminal defense attorney.
Because they need proof? like in a fair trial
rape is horrible. Just ask and get consent.
The Clinton's?
True. There's this whole evidence requirement that is stacked against women who are full of shit.

Of course it is because it's run by men for the most part.
BS! Low rapist convictions are due to; in most cases, 1 The accused is a man 2 The investigators are mostly men 3 Most lawyers on both sides are men 4 Most judges are men 5 Most staff at the Economist are men. metoo was started by a Woman, TaranaBurke in 2006.
Well, in some cases it's clearly rape but in others it's an afterthought because the relationship didn't develop. Of course there are never scheming women whose backup plan is a payout in order to halt a court case tha might cost a prominent person a lot of money - mud sticks!!!
alllibertynews I'm assuming 'credible research' here means feminist 'research,' and since feminists are known for anecdotal studies and fitting the evidence to the theory, I find this _very_ hard to trust. Let's have this reviewed by someone who is not an ideologue.
maybe because women rape men then change the story.
Because it's almost impossible to prove sex wasn't consensual. I mean yeah due process is a bitch, but it's the best system we have.
Changing your mind about a guy when he doesn't call you doesn't mean he raped you.
If they’re not convicted they’re not rapists. Basic law.
Too many false allegations?
Cops turn rape into a sexual assault then the judge goes easy on the scumbag in court because of over crowded prisons 🤬 bring back trial by combat
Because it's almost impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that sex wasn't consensual?
It’s because the women get embarrassed, and don’t talk about it. Then the filthy men get away with it!
Misogyny, patriarchy...
In india....many rapists are from political party
maybe some Judges are rapists
In Harvey Weinstein's Rape Trial, the Judge should mandate all women jurors. Men do not and will never understand the humiliation and agony of Rape. HarveyWeinstein
Thart's because the MSM doesn't educate the public, it misleads them into compliant servitude.
Because the kindest most powerful men you may know are buffet rapists
Due process is important to ensure justice. I know women who will lie at a drop a hat when they do not get their way. There are no saints here.
