how many of you have been with a bar girl and asked for it for free and she said no,so you gave her money,she didnt fancy you ,but did it for the money ,they did it for the part .think about it .

"You'll get the job, if you sleep with me" or 'Don't you want the job" or any such / like phrases are coercian. And coercian is rape. The woman must truly want to have sex without any type of manipulation, even within marriage. No one has the right to someone else's body.

Dating Weinstein after the "rape" repeatedly? Sending him love-messages? Asking for help or a job?

Yeah, sure, it was a kind of Stockholm syndrom and the earth is flat.

The evidence presented to the court and how the jury consider that evidence is what matters.

No coercion. Just say "No, thanks".

"Rape" is something violent. Use Google.

He must be your hero ,judging by the other post you made.

So because I believe in Justice and rules of evidence, I'm a bad person?

The western world hates men & worships women, which is why I don't live there.

You're right. Miscarriage of justice never ever happens - as you can see daily in Thailand.

@Chomper Higgot What did you find funny about #28? In similar trials elsewhere proceedings are gagged until all outstanding charges have been dealt with, so lets hear it...

Nothing at all to do with Thailand, where in any case rich men don’t get sent to prison.

But with US, where "raped" women date the rapist continously for years, sending him love-mails and asking for free flights, help and jobs.

So his defence team can't/won't claim that his LA trial has been prejudiced & the jury pool poisoned by media coverage?

 

Fancy that! I'm so glad you were on hand to clear that up

This is the 21st century. Rape does not have to be violent. There doesn't have to be physical force; let alone physical injuries. Women (and men) can be raped through coercian in a manipulative, controlling relationship or by abuse of authority.

Blokes will have to get consent forms off women now to prevent them regretting it afterwards and crying to the cops, after they cashed the cheque of course

He had denied the accusations and said any sexual encounters were consensual.

This defence might have been more believable if he wasn't a fat ugly toad.

I think there's a 10-20 year waiting period before they can claim rape.

I once attended a lecture (1974) given by a lawyer about avoiding the risk of false rape accusations in the UK.

His conclusion was to be entirely safe, you would need a signed consent form witnessed by two impartial people who could attest not only to her willing consent but her mental state and sobriety at the time.
