In reply to the discussion: Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex [View all]hlthe2b
(115,414 posts)accumulated and overwhelming evidence--and even then fail to get a true conviction, I can assure you this is not a priority. Sex crimes, yes. But, these become "he said, she said." or "the condom came off when I lost my erection, judge and I was so embarrassed, I didn't want to admit it..." Think they won't latch onto that excuse or explanation? I've got news for you. Not to mention, this is far more common in relationships than you might think and judges/juries know so and sometimes it is mere accident that a partner might not accept as so.
Thus, these are not prosecuted in most cases. Saying otherwise doesn't make it so.
And on this WAPO piece.. I find this article gratuitous in every way and smacks of unprovable bad behavior meant to malign and pile-on for any number of motivations. Is he a creep? Pretty clearly yes? Might he have been subject to a sexual assault charge had his (other) accusers chosen to pursue? Likely. And he should have been, if so. Thus, there is plenty to write about from his accuser(s) who maintain they were raped or any of his other provable behavior. If this individual has experienced this, then that is the issue to discuss.
