I'm not sure what relevance other cases have to this one?

But the text message thing is kind of fishy, I don't see how a text message proves consent? What if someone was to arrange a hook-up for sex on Tindr, then once they're round the flat gets raped? They change their mind or the other person forces them into doing something they're not into?

If I remember rightly the text messages she sent to friends after they had sex, with no mention of rape.

All I'm saying is, every case is different, and if a woman says she has been raped that don't make that man a rapist until it's proven

In the same way a woman is not lying about being raped until it's proven that she is.

But at the end of the day it's based on evidence and who the jury believe.

I have a lovely friend who was raped two years ago by two men and was beaten up.

Oh, I quite agree BIB. But I think in this case people aren't just saying so based on her simply saying she was raped, but are interpreting the evidence to draw their conclusions either way. Similar way to the jury are asked to.

If they were saying they believe her, just because it's a simple case of we believe a woman and don't believe a man then I'd agree wholeheartedly.
