I don’t know that I agree. I feel they should have been more blunt about it. “Although Ms. Daniels did not call it rape, based on her interpretation of events, it would be considered rape if she had agreed to press charges.” Because it would be.
It would be considered rape if the person accused was a poor, non connected person with no promising future.
It would be considered rape if the alleged rapist was poor, or any race other than white. It would probably not be considered rape if the perpetrator was a white man (especially Christian), or a woman.
Thank you. I just had this conversation with my wife.
Completely agree. Conviction would be hard though. Whether that should be true or not, I think you’d need a specific jury composition to get that conviction.
Conviction would be impossible since the statute of limitations have passed, but that’s hardly the point.
There’s been over two dozen accusations against Trump of everythingfrom harassment to outright rape. Taken together, the stories paint a picture of a man constantly assessing how far he can take the coercion without facing potential legal repercussions. In the story found to be true by a New York civil jury, E. Jean Carroll described how Trump got her alone in a department store dressing room before, as the judge recounted, “Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’”
