[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6869230, member: 9037"] That is simply not true. Do you know how hard it is to prosecute sexual assaults cases where there is no witnesses or violence? It comes down to he said she said and the burden of proving it lies on the rape victim and you have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. It is often what happens when a woman reports to the police incidents of being groped all the guy has to say is I didn't touch her and without more proof usually the cops don't bother to arrest the guy and even if they do it usually does not go to court. It happens at cons when a women tells security of an incident if she can't back it up with proof other than her word even if the con has a policy of ejecting harassers out they tend to err on the side of the person being accused. It is a tough thing because there are women who have lied about being raped or being harassed. BTW no one should be picking up hitchhikers I drilled that in my son head not because I was worried about some girl screaming assault but you can't tell if someone is a criminal just by looking at them. I have a family member who was a Navy seal who used to pick up female hitchhikers because he wanted them to be safe. The last one he ever picked up an innocent looking teen girl shot in in the head and robbed him. He lived but his life changed due to brain injury trauma. [/QUOTE]
