Ahh had added that probably while you were quoting. I need to think out posts fully before putting them tbh as I always add on a load afterwards D:

Don’t people say the same thing about Micheal Jackson’s Male accusers

Alot do believe them though, I think Michael Jackson is a bit of an exception though because of who he is and his mega fans would defend him no matter what i think

I think thats the only time its been done, and thats basically as MJ is like a god to his fans. But yeah, they got the 'woman' treatment too and its shocking tbh.
Yeah, its different..female accusers constantly get that treatment, where male ones, it seems it depends if the accused has megafans ready to defend anything.

Either way, the leap to 'they are lying' or..saying that because a case was not succesful that means the person lied is just..crap.

The trouble for me with famous people being accused is that they are named, straight away, even before charges are brought... or dropped. But the accuser is entitled to lifelong anonymity. There has been a move in recent years where some women have waived their right to anonymity, and that has really changed the public's perception of them. I'm not saying that every victim must stand up and be named, but if the naming process was more equal it would help, I think.

That's a problem with your laws around cases like these for sure, here the accused can't be named unless they're found guilty and even then only if the victim agrees (i think)

That seems a much better way.

It is, better for the victim too I think, especially when the guy is famous because it's the women who get all the abuse anyway

Thanks for the update LT, I've been stressing for years wether I should or shouldn't burn the jls merchandise I have..luckily I didn't as it may be worth money in the future

Well, it immediately removes the scope for assumption that the victim is doing it for money/fame.

exactly yeah
