One of two things happened in that hotel room.

He paid her and she gave him oral sex. She saw a potential patsy and made up the story to get money.

He forced her, got his rocks off, and she called the cops.

My gut tells me the second scenario occurred. I don't know that for sure and no one else does either - except for them. The cops probably have a good idea, but probably not a certainty. That would take a trial. But we'll never get that. The woman proved to be an unreliable accuser. A liar. The DA says he couldn't make a case with her testimony in a "He Said-She Said" trial.

Now lets assume that the second case was, indeed, true. Is it right that a rapist walks just because his victim has issues with the truth? Or that she's just a bad person with her own issues?







Yes, I know no actual rape was alleged.
