Progressive Leaders Join Elon Musk in Critiquing American Healthcare Costs
I am very well educated. I do have the ability to learn and have done so all my life. I only recall a few things that I have been wrong about on these forums, and I've acknowledged those. All the rest of the things people like you think I'm wrong about are just different opinions. You and I disagree on many things, maybe everything, but that doesn't make you or me wrong. That's the way I see it, anyway. -

American arrested for alleged sexual assault of Chinese woman
A black widow mentality. Chinese-American Named Jing Zhang accuses American Christian Beasley of forced sex in Thailand. Questions abound. Is Zhang a serial rape accuser looking for a payout? Could she be fabricating? Can Beasley get a fair trial in a court system unused to such charges and with limited investigative capability? In the age of #MeToo, who’s getting treated more unfairly: men or women? Even US President-elect Donald Trump avers, “It’s a very scary situation where you’re guilty until proven innocent,” as Trump said about sex assault claims against men, including against his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In the somewhat provincial city of Hat Yai, Thailand two foreigners - American Christian Beasley and a dual US/Chinese citizen Jing Zhang - are engaged in a court battle to determine whether Ms. Zhang’s charges of rape by Mr. Beasley have merit. An international political/diplomatic firestorm appears to be developing in this small Thailand community just north of the Malaysian border. Evidence is being presented to police and the court, as Beasley - first jailed, now released with an ankle GPS tracking device – attempts to prove he is not guilty of Ms. Zhang’s charges, and that Ms. Zhang is fabricating evidence out of vengeance – and perhaps a desire for monetary compensation. Furthermore, it is significant that Ms. Zhang only alleged rape after Mr. Beasley decided to end their relationship. Beasley relates that Ms. Zhang invited him to her hotel room, where they became sexually intimate by mutual consent. Over several days subsequent to this initial encounter Ms. Zhang initiated communication with Mr. Beasley asking when he would be able to return to her hotel room, specifically mentioning her interest in forwarding their sexual relationship. Beasley did go to her hotel room about three more times, and by his account this sex also was consensual. On November 7 Beasley left her hotel room to buy cigarettes. Ms. Zhang’s apparent urgency to fully consummate their relationship left Beasley with an uncertain sense of her intentions. Doubts arose in his mind that she was now being forthright in answering his questions about her past, leaving him with a nagging feeling that she had a lot to hide and perhaps ulterior motives. He returned home rather than go back to her hotel room. And, ultimately, he decided that he did not wish to continue the relationship. He came to realize that there were red flags, she was too inconsistent, and her behavior in ways, contrived, even cunning. Importantly, Ms. Zhang did not notify authorities until much later – on November 9th - to allege that Beasley had raped her. And so, she precluded police from obtaining a rape kit, which could have provided convincing evidence of sperm - implicating Beasley - as well as other contemporaneous evidence. In response to her allegations Mr. Beasley is adamant that he did not force sex - that she was a willingly proactive participant. He cites her calls and texts sent him repeatedly over a period of a week, mentioning her sexual desire and asking him to return to her hotel room for more sexual intimacy. Furthermore, five days following her allegations Ms. Zhang claims she has contracted a sexually transmitted disease and has medical evidence of such. Mr. Beasley presented himself for a test – and the results were negative. That Zhang does have such an infection – and that Beasley does not present with evidence of this sexually transmitted disease - suggests that she could have had other sexual partners since her relationship with Beasley. Ms. Zhang visits the Hat Yai courthouse daily, accosting police and court officials, alleging repeatedly that Beasley is guilty of the offence and demanding that he be locked up in Hat Yai’s jail. She approaches local hospital staff regarding the procedures they follow, claiming that they are failing to perform their testing and other tasks correctly. Notwithstanding Ms. Zhang’s accusations, the court has agreed to release Beasley, detained at first for a weekend pending trial next February. Beasley asserts he has never had reports or instances of sexual or other violence made against him in any country. And that Ms. Zhang’s allegations are totally without merit. Much is as yet unanswered. Ms. Zhang provides only her Chinese passport ID. Beasley feels entitled to view her US identification, as she lived and worked in America and is a US citizen. Her text to him that “I take down upper class…in New York…” raises questions that should be answered. He feels both he and Ms. Zhang should be required to take a lie detector test and that she should take a psychological exam. Ms. Zhang appears instead to have successfully weaponized the threat of negative media. She reports Thai officials when they don’t do her bidding and warns Thailand by means of threats to the country’s tourism. Can Beasley avoid wrongful detention? Time will tell. A photo of her taken by local police is attached. -
