How many years left?

also, hasn't this been going on for a while? I recall seeing this months ago

The legal proceedings began late last year, the judge gave his verdict this Friday, that she would not be released from contract.

There's a massive online wave of petitions/hashtags and the like calling for the verdict to be overthrown though. I've seen #SonySupportsRapists posted more than once.

Is there any concrete evidence supporting her claim?

No idea, and no idea.  Tbh, it's the first I've heard of it, just happened to see some people commenting on it on twitter and saw the links and got curious.

Humanity often disgusts me these days.  Due process and the Courts may not always get it right, but it's by far the best system humanity has devised for dealing with grievances/crimes.  History is paved in the blood of the wrongfully accused.  These shitty crybullies have no concept of what mobs are capable of.

So far as I know, it's her word against his. The alleged event took place a decade ago, making physical proof something of an impossibility. Her producer has not been convicted, or indeed even charged at this time.

But rape is one of those crimes where many people automatically assume guilt. Like pedophilia, it's highly emotive and provokes a gut reaction that can overwhelm rational discussion.

They disgust me, as well. We run on an "innoncent until proven guilty" system, but these people run on a "guilty until proven innocent" mentality. Patrick Kane got falsely accused for raping a woman, but even after it was proven that the incident didn't happen, people repeatedly shouted "She said no" during games.

I feel bad for her. Even though her style of music isn't my type, she's had a decent number of hits. Which makes me wonder why she would throw her career away if what she is claiming isn't true.

The false rape accusations are a heinous crime, in my opinion.  They absolutely destroy the accused and falsely accused alike, and they make sure of it by going after every single avenue of social interaction, work, school, etc...  Our Government's have not yet figured out how to deal with social media mobs, but I have a feeling we will end up seeing legislation that holds individuals who incite such mobs accountable.  Much like inciting mobs offline, the damages these cause are no less severe, and permanent.  And I think due to the attempts to redefine what exactly is rape (Waking up the next day and regretting the choice you made, is not rape), we may even need to see some kind of penalties for those who are proven to have lied about it.  Jackie (Funny, we still don't know her name, even though the mountains of evidence tell us she made up the gang rape to try and get someone she was interested in to pay attention to her), from UVA, and Emma Sulkowicz are prime examples of two people who deserve severe jail time.

The other thing is when they redefine rape like this, and then it goes to the courts who overturn it.  It impacts actual victims of sexual violence, because it creates an atmosphere of mistrust, as well as making actual victims feel as if they could never get justice.  So, there are widespread consequences of what's happening here, and it really breaks my heart to think that an actual victim would remain silent.

If her music wasn't so trashy and if she didn't look like just a spoiled-brat mess, I would be inclined to believe her. Has Dr. Luke ever been accused of this kind of behavior before? That would at least give her some validity.
