It's honestly sickening it took a recorded confession from the "victim" to exonerate an innocent man.

Coming from a man, this is merely the "justice" system finally seeing the plight women face. We need more instances of this happening before men (especially white men) can even hope to be taken seriously when they cry that the system isn't in their favor. One day you'll see through these shenanigans of "mens rights" and "feminism isn't about equality". It's about equality in terms of it serves as a counter-balance. Think of it like numbers: history has always been about men which currently sets the scale at -100. Let women have indiscriminate power for a bit and we can get that scale up to 0. Then everyone can be equal!

I think if you don't report the rape within a day or two (if its a consent issue) then it shouldn't be allowed in court, much like if someone stole something from you and you waited 3-4 days after noticing to call the police.

Violent rape or rape with bruising, marks, or tangible evidence should be the only "rape" that an adult can perform that would land them anything over 2 years.

Drunk sex being considered rape is a joke. Unless the victim is passed out, consenting to sex while drunk should be considered consent so long as the age gap is legal, because literally anything else done while drunk is considered a "you're an adult, be responsible for yourself" scenario.

Child sexual assault survivors are the obvious exclusion to this, as it could be decades before they are able to tell anyone and I do not believe anyone would disagree with this one.

Right, because god forbid you don't want to talk about being violently assaulted. Yes it's kinda dumb but it happens. Putting a timer on when you can report a crime is completely ridiculous; the crime still happened.

Right, if you drug someone and then rape them that's perfectly fine.
And what in the **** is a rape "without tangible evidence"?

First off drunk sex is not rape, it just can be rape. Second drunk sex being considered rape usually applies to being passed out... Unless you're talking about the SJW-tier ******** about "don't be that guy", in which case disregard this.

Cases of rape that dont involve children or weapons are almost always a he-said she-said situation. without evidence that the rape occured aside from a statement (no marks, no confession) it's just not feasible to prove "beyond reasonable doubt" that a crime was committed. Our justice system is based on evidence, and if its one persons word vs another its just a joke of a trial for everyone.

Why are you saying someone being drugged isnt a rape? Wtf is wrong with you

That would be called sarcasm... You said that if they don't struggle it's not rape.

If there's no physical evidence, no witnesses, and no confession from the accused, then there is no possible way to convict somebody of a crime based on our adversarial criminal justice system. By our, I mean any first or second world country that uses the adversarial criminal justice model.

I did not say if they don't struggle it's not rape.

When it comes to rape, it can be proven that they did in fact have sex by checking the woman's genitalia for his DNA.

Additionally, police are able to check if someone was slipped a drug. With both of those facts, you can easily deduce that someone was drugged and then raped especially considering how well forensics can estimate time based on evidence.

This is how it works where I'm from.

Just... no. The inside of the vagina is self cleaning, and that includes any tiny particle of skin from a rapist. Sorry.

I suppose that would be possible if the test were performed soon after the event, but give it 2 or 3 days and chances are it'll be out of your system.

Well that's just it, in a typical rape scenario the victim isn't going to dust their genitals for fingerprints in the hours after the incident. Proof is hard to come by when it's one person's word against another's.

No I said something that SHOULD result from what you said. If it doesn't then it means that you are even more retarded than I thought. If a "he said she said" case results in a conviction something has gone terribly wrong with the justice system. As such, there should not be a conviction. So if you agree that if it doesn't occur within days proof is hard to come by and agree that if proof is hard to come by it results in a "he said she said" case, and don't end up with this result, then you are being illogical.

The focus of the quote is that rape shouldn't be convicted withhout any of the following:

bruising
marks
tangible evidence

You claimed that he said only in cases with a struggle. Tangible evidence include evidence of drugging the victim. Which is not a struggle. Which makes you wrong.

Except I was clearly referring to the part you carefully avoided; bruises and marks, which are under the category of tangible evidence anyway. No sane person could reasonably want to convict without evidence, and claiming that that's what I think is ludicrous.

Because rape is indicated by a struggle. Not all cases of rape involve struggles. But struggle is a very strong indicator of rape. Furthermore, you misrepresented another's argument and refused to back down on that. You have also made statements that agree with the opposing side more than your own, but insist they are disagreements. I'm not even sure what the hell you were trying to say with the part about "accusee can't disprove, but acuser can just make **** up." In fact, I think the only comment that wasn't getting increasingly retarded was your first one, which was mostly right on.

Everyones innocent till proven guilty, unless if its between a man and a women, then the women would always win

the man would need facts

This is why we need manimism or some **** , just something that allows men to get the stuff men deserves, if feminists can get a right to vote and **** then men can get the equal rights between men and women when it comes to the legal system, but like always, people would rather judge on looks and believe the pretty girl rather than the man

There should always be a trial at least for it. Assume they are innocent yes, but if it is clear they did something, which there is in self defense cases, then it becomes the rule that you must prove it was in self defense. Now if they are convicted in a case where it was actually self defense, something has gone wrong. But there does need to be some trial in most every self defense case, even if that trial only advances to the grand jury.

Yeah, so there is no proof he raped her, since he-said-she-said cases are almost impossible to get through in court. Absence of proof is proof of innocence.

Okay...the school sued the chick for even more money, and his conviction was overturned after the fact.

What the hell about those years lost, though? He's never going to get those back, and I can bet that being a registered sex-offender didn't exactly make life easy. Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't snap and kill her. I would have at least thought about it, had I been in his position.

They remove those once you are proven innocent, no? Although you have to apply for their removal yourself. They aren't just gonna automagically disappear.

She could have been convicted with something, but he decided not to attempt to prosecute her because it would be hard to prove she did it in an attempt to hurt him.

Of course she could be convicted with false accusations crime. It's illegal to make false accusations, not only because causing harm to others is illegal, as is lying in court.

I don't really see a way to go at this issue as a whole, though.

I can see why we would want to make sure that there is 100% evidence involved in order to prevent false rape accusations.

But at the same time, most rape accusations are pretty difficult to prove, and some can't be proven at all. So does this mean for rape victims and rapists? Does this mean that we should let rapists off the hook?

NOTE: I am not making an argument here. I'm just asking the questions.

I suggest placing cameras in every building (even private ones), making it impossible to lie about such serious things. They pretty much monitor people anyway these days, might as well make it so it will benefit law abiding people in some way, by preventing false accusations and having instant proof of crime.

This isn't necessarily the worst idea, people'll bitch about muh privicies but just have the cameras not be on any network and have all of the video input directed into a compression program, then a physical medium, then deleted off of everything but the physical copy, with huge fines in place for not keeping the physical media stocked.

Police can claim the physical media with adequate warrants and any destroyed or tampered video will carry with it the full weight of any crime being investigated at the time until innocence is proven by the tamperer.

If someone is raped, treating them should be the first priority. Arresting someone should not be their first priority, especially when that means you have to arrest someone that may not have committed the crime. You should be innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

You should be punished in accordance with what you did

If we lived in a world where a liar gets hit with a sentence mirrored twofold, and lets say in this world you got 10 years, that would still be only 20 years, not a life sentence

Despite how morally reprehensible it is, its simply not drastic enough of a crime to warrant a life sentence; it didn't do enough damage to justify the permenant end to someones life in the free world

Im just saying that giving someone a life sentence for a singular crime other than murder is a pretty unrealistic and over the top response to any problem society faces, including false rape accusations

They should be looked down upon for what they did, but there are two things to consider

1. The severity of a punishment should be relative to the severity of the crime, yes false rape claims ruin lives, but so does identity theft, a car theft could cause you to lose your job and family, maybe a theft of your dead wifes locket crushed you and made you become an alcoholic, or back to the false rape claims, there are people whose lives aren't ruined by a false rape accusation, someone who lives alone, stick to themself, with a court battle that goes their way and / or no one around to spread news about his accusation ; there is a gigantic variety of ways a persons lives can be ruined depending on the life any given person leads, its neither a reliable nor suitable way to adjudicate law

2. Its impractical, to simply put it its just not worth the effort to take tens of thousands of mostly young people, remove their economic contribution to society, and pay to feed & clothe and care for them for an entire human lifespan, we already have 2.2 million prisoners, we shouldn't take on more of them for any longer than is necessary, and a life sentence in this case is unnecessary

That wouldnt end false rape accisations

Your argument is based on the presumption that all false rape claims are made based upon logical thought and reason, but a majority of the time its an emotional plea in order to keep someone from discovering a secret

All that would end up happening is you stick a bunch of young people in prison to eat up resources for an entire life span ; all to prove a point that can't be proven

Probs not a good idea, unless you can train to the level of One Punch Man, they'll just send more cops after you until you get tired.

It's honestly a lot safer to cooperate with the cops and then battle it out in court. In the street cops have all the power, and anything you do against them will be more reason for them to try to put you in jail. But in the court you have some power and the time to present your case. Also, cops will be a lot more willing to cut you some slack if you just show some respect.
