Chekhov Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) I am surprised this has not got a thread on here : Eleanor Williams: Barrow woman guilty of false rape claims https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-64151441 The worrying point here is that when people say we should increase the percentage of rape cases resulting in a guilty verdict that can only be done by lowering the burden of proof on the accused.....

I've said that for a long while. Usually ends up in me being called a rape apologist or some other ridiculous label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually ends up in me being called a rape apologist or some other ridiculous label. Exactly. These people effectively asking for the burden of proof in rape cases to be lowered should be ashamed of themselves. I would also point out that when they are interviewed the interviewers rarely (if ever) point out that they are effectively asking for a lowering of the burden of proof on the accused and how can they justify that ? 2 minutes ago, The_DADDY said: Shouldn't really be in that one in my humble opinion I agree.

Guest sibon Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) I think I’ll just say that maybe rape cases should be investigated much more thoroughly. And that we need more of them to result in convictions of rapists. Then, I’ll leave the divergent thinkers to it.

I don’t disagree with that. There might be occasions where it is necessary to release the name of the accused, but in general I think that both parties should be kept anonymous.
