Not to mention having witnesses and notaries and lawyers to verify the paper. Its pretty much the only way to prevent someone from claiming that they were raped. Even then I'm betting that there are people who will still claim as such. At this point we'll need to see signed contracts, lawyer and judge approval, and trauma therapists on standby in case things go wrong. |
Yep, and then the person could even arguee that she was obligated to sign and that the person had her finances at jeopardy or the like

She could be a manipulative liar he could be a rapist we will never know for sure. Even a legal decision will not give us the truth. He could be a jailed poor guiltless Sob or he could be a free rapist.

Yep, the trial won't show the truth, just a version of it that they think is enough to decide.
o_O.Q said: so let me get this straight, this woman is a feminist that is doing rape activism meaning that she probably knows the "fact" propagated by feminists that 1 in 5 women is raped she also probably has accepted that men are more prone to sexual violence and "objectification" of women so... why would you then intentionally put yourself into a situation that could very well lead to a rape with a dangerous male objectifier? it doesn't really add up imo... |
It does, if you include possible intent on the outcome. Let's say I'm a white supremacist that say black man are thugs... so I go to a ghetto with a lot black people and filled with gold. I verbally insult a group, get stomped and them toss the gold in the floor and run away. Then I go to the media and claim I was strolling around and a gang beat and robbed me... It would sound fishy, but sex activist are above that, right?

Dunno. I just forward messages or put pictures of trips or parties. Don't like to expose too much.

Social media, for better or worse, is the new normal, but many, many people are ill-informed on litigation and how social media can play a significant role. I always advise clients to minimize usage of social media, especially with regards to any sensitive and potential legal issues. There is the mistaken assumption that, in various sectors of law, good will and intent will proffer exoneration. In the very rare case that one actually goes trial, the verdict relies wholly upon the counsels' abilities to convince them of how they should render. People should always be wise to not think, "what does this truthfully represent," but to actually think, "how can this be represented to others?"

This is exactly the problem right here you've highlighted being a legal matter, social media doesn't mean it takes over every aspect of society, if she was attacked she would have also made her own case harder for any investigation as the opposing lawyer could argue about getting a fair trial and have it moved when she has put out her own side of the story to the whole world before even law enforcement knew it. Smart lawyers can also play that against her in a court whether she was attacked or not because going to social media when you're being attack is not normal.

Well poisining the jury is illegal, but since it was even before the case was made or open by police how would a judge look at it?
