Again, he could have just worn a condom.

 

And I'd assume one of the main reasons rape/sexual assault cases have so few convictions is because they often end up hinged on conflicting eyewitness testimony, which is hugely unreliable to begin with. Compound it with the main eyewitness being someone who potentially suffered a traumatic incident and, well, here we are.

 

Basically they're trying to scramble to put lipstick on a pig right now to try and justify doing nothing.

 

I was just surprised by how aggressive it seemed, but that makes sense.

 

I think they're shittily trying to save face after how effectively the accuser's parents (especially the mother, obviously), torpedoed any real chance they had of prosecuting this.

 

And call me nuts, but the actions of the parents made me believe it even more; if the goal is just to get money, why were they doing and saying such desperate things to try and push a criminal case forward? So many rape/sexual assault cases end up in civil suits because that's what the lawyers suggest because it's often so unlikely to get a criminal conviction? It's a mess all around, but that struck me as a couple of weirdos freaking out and thinking their daughter wasn't going to get any justice. It's just sad.

Seems like there is far more evidence pointing to a spurious claim than there is evidence to prove a rape occurred. Perhaps the DA is an honest broker who looked at the evidence and arrived at his conclusion.
