100% agree with that. That said, there has to be a point where certain situations can't fit into the automatically guilty assumption.
Riddle can be a total prick, but if they had a relationship where they liked.getting rough with each other, and it only became a problem after the fact, it's just not the same as all the rest of the assaults.
Ending a relationship badly does not change previously consented acts into assaults. Of all the acquisitions, 1 stands out, and it's the only one I don't think is legit.
She said she chose to blow him because she didn't want to have sex. That is not the same as what the other victims had to go through. They were in a relationship both before and after that. I am not condoning what Riddle did, but being a prick, a bad husband, a cheater, and a bad boyfriend, but that doesn't mean it was an assault.
