Very slippery slope there, given the undeniable FACT that most rapists are unconvicted, whether you like that statistic or not.

Exactly, I have said before a close family member of mine reported a rape. I took her to the rape crisis centre with the police, I watched as they took picture of the blood on her thighs,the bruising on her arms, held her as she cried, listened to her threats over the coming months to take her own life as ger rapist and his friends threatened her, sat through a court case where every sexual relationship she ever had was questioned, heard the not guilty verdict because she knew her rapist and they could not agree about consent issues, watched as she fell apart once more. Do I now believe her rapist was innocent, do I ****.
