Unseen,
The incident occurred 30 years ago and it was a different world for women back then, well before Me Too. I think implying that she (who else?) should have filed charges back then could be viewed as classic blaming the victim.
Not at all. If charges result in a conviction, it’s how you get a victimizer off the street, as well as prevent…[Read more]

Whatever Trump’s many other flaws, this side of our borders, rape is not a civil tort that is adjudicated.
