I only do it for things I find particularly distasteful. Not just incorrect things, things I don't like, or things I disagree with. I'm glad Savio cared enough to share.

I bet if some dude accused Alexa Bliss of raping them Noid would consider her guilty despite the low stats.

My crazy, homeless lady down the street analogy still applies here. We can take out the ghosts. If she runs up and down the block saying she was raped by John Cena, I think it's fair to be more skeptical than you would if a more level-headed, trustworthy human being said the same. And that's the same with literally any crime.

And at no point should "Statistically, in other cases, the guy is usually guilty" come in to play. And without a doubt, going out of your way to make it clear that John Cena could definitely have raped that crazy homeless lady because "statistically" the accused is usually guilty is really fucked. Without calling him guilty, you're absolutely tying a stigma of guilt to him based on nothing but an accusation that can be made by anyone at any time.

I feel the need to clarify this:

* My legal opinion is that Enzo is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't think I disagree with anyone here.

* My intuition tells me that this is a fucking mess, it's not all on the level, and Enzo is, to some degree, likely a piece of shit. I agree with Dale on this being a mess, but I think we disagree on our opinion of Enzo's reputation, because our intuitions tell us different things about this situation.

* Statistics are not evidence, but they do reflect an observable world and do imply that when a woman makes an allegation, you take it seriously and then cycle back to the legal position on whether or not there is enough evidence for it. This is where I disagree with #fan, because he seems to think that you do not take an accuser seriously if they have a history of lying or substance abuse. I don't think that's fair process.

The statistic that most accusations are not baseless is not evidence itself and does not mean you forego due process. You can investigate as if someone is telling the truth without judging the accused as if they were.

I don't take an accuser seriously when she has lied about rape in the past, bragged to her friends about sleeping with Enzo, "Faked a pregnancy" when someone broke up with her, and has insufficient evidence of rape.

I think a healthy amount of skepticism with both can be applied. More or less are trivial in that situation. If it came down to the word of a reasonable and sane person against and unreasonable and insane one, of course you'd probably start with the reasonable person's. I don't see it as relevant to this case. If a choir girl said that Enzo raped her, would your stance really change? Should it change? I think we disagree here, because I think both should be taken seriously and don't see them on a versus screen. And if they both accused Enzo, then I think that looks worse for Enzo.

And why don't more crazies accuse John Cena of rape? Or Randy Orton? Or Shawn Michaels? Or Shane McMahon? I'm not saying if they did it would be true, but why doesn't that happen? Probably largely because it doesn't actually happen often at all, is disadvantageous to the party making the false claim (and a crime), and it's actually really hard to accuse someone of something if they don't have the means and opportunity, have an alibi, there are other witnesses, etc. I'm not making that as a legal argument -- of course the onus is not on the accused -- but just as a common sense one.
"John Cena raped me."
"When and where?"
"Um, Saturday at 9pm."
"He was on the other side of the world then." Easily ruled out.

When you say that quote shouldn't come into play, in what context are you referring? Because I think it is absolutely relevant when discussing it with people who claim "Pfft, she's lying. Enzo is a Superstar he can fuck anyone he wants," or when people claim that false allegations are rampant. Or when they claim it actually gives a woman power.

If John Cena was with the homeless lady, had sex with the homeless lady, did drugs with the homeless lady, the lady was admitted to the hospital with head injuries, etc., then yeah, I'd say the same thing in a conversation about it if people were like "Nah, impossible." I wouldn't go emailing strangers about it or drag it into every conversation. And given the woman's status and possible mental health, having "consensual sex" with a woman in that state could be questionable too. It's not as clean an analogy as you are making it out to be.

The thing is #fan those accusations aren't made by anyone at anytime. That's the whole point of pointing out that these things usually have something to them, dude. They're usually very serious things because people drag their names through the mud because "Look, this part here doesn't look true." We're going in circles now.

You're tying a stigma to her because of her mental health or whatever. I'm tying a stigma to Enzo because it's possible he raped a girl. We've both "I'm not saying she's definitely lying" or "I'm not saying he definitely did it." Let's just agree we're both assholes without the full knowledge of what happened and are projecting our own biases onto a situation that is dark and messy with no winner, whichever way you slice it.

There's a huge, enormous, universe-sized difference between "tying a stigma" to someone based on their own history/credibility/personality/addictions/mental health and tying a stigma to someone because they were simply accused of something. I think that idea that there's no difference is where the problem with this whole conversation lies.

And in this is a problem:

* Lying about rape in the past does not mean you are lying about it now. That's not something you can say with 100% certainty, just as people here are so evangelical about defending Enzo because it's not 100% certain he did it. The best predictor for future behavior is past behavior, yes, but as Dale and I mentioned earlier, people with messed up pasts are often more at risk; not less. It has nothing to do with the factual nature of what happened.

* Bragging about someone haven't sex with you, again, does not necessarily mean it was consensual. I wish I knew the name for it, but especially in young people, you see victims glamorize their abuse. It's "no biggie; happens all the time." "He's famous, it's cool." "I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no." "Yeah, it was fun, ha-ha-ha-ha, how cool that I got to do that thing, huh, huh?" It can take a while for the processing to occur. I AM NOT SAYING THIS DEFINITELY HAPPENED, IT WOULD JUST NOT BE UNUSUAL.

* Faking a pregnancy is irrelevant.

* Not all rape victims provide photographic and indisputable evidence of their assault to police for the convenience of an eventual trial, unfortunately.

But you go with what brought you to the dance.

Accused of something that people don't normally accuse people of because then their history/credibility/personality/addictions/mental health are dragged through the mud. I think the oversimplification is disingenuous and you were premature to take aim at her.

Wait. So "Women tend not lie about rape" can be thrown around as meaningful in this conversation but "This woman definitely lies about rape" can't?

Just because people don't normally do it doesn't mean they didn't lie about it here.

See what I did there.

If I can get one thing clear to anyone objective reading this, it's that it's not fun accusing someone of rape. It's not something easy or rewarding to do, and it doesn't come with a whole lot of benefits. So when someone tries to slip past the insinuation that "anyone can accuse anyone at anytime," do think about it for a second and think "but would they?"

Maybe they would? Maybe there's nothing to it? Okay. That person probably needs help more than they need ridicule though. But don't fall for that reduction of it to being a few words someone can shoot out without consequence.

"This woman has definitely lied about rape" is not the same as "this woman is lying about rape." You know this, #fan. Come on. And if you're saying it, I guess it must be okay to say? I don't think think it's valid or on-point, but okay.

How are you not seeing the contradiction in using "Women tend to not lie about rape" as a meaningful point while also dismissing "This woman definitely lies about rape" as insignificant?

If the first is significant, then you'd have to do some crazy rationalization to claim the latter isn't. It's either that or neither is significant.

If the first is significant, then you'd have to do some crazy rationalization to claim the latter isn't. It's either that or neither is significant.
Lies and lied are two different tenses. If you're suggesting that because she lied about it once she must be again, that's false. If you're suggesting she lied about it once, therefore she has no moral qualms doing it, then it's a stronger point and problematic, but it doesn't do anything to dismiss the severity of a separate incident.

You all took The Boy Who Cried Wolf way too seriously. You do remember there was an actual wolf at the end, right? The moral is to not tell lies so people believe you, but it's also there to give us the wider perspective too, in that there might actually be a wolf.

Jesus. Noid. Listen.

I'm not claiming she lied once therefore she must always be lying/is definitely lying. Stop and read what I'm saying.

You think "Women tend to not lie about rape" is a meaningful point. Because she's a woman making a rape accusation therefore you're comparing the likelihood of her lying to what typically ends up being the case when a woman makes a rape accusation.

Yet you're dismissing "She DOES lie about rape" (Not that she 100% must always be lying. That she indeed has been known to lie about rape.) as meaningless. That's a glaring contradiction. You want to give her the benefit of all other women who don't lie about rape but ignore the DIRECT example of HER... THE ONE WOMAN WHO IS ACTUALLY BEING DISCUSSED... lying about rape.

It's a contradiction. How is it not?

If the fact that they are two different tenses has some kind of meaning, then your statistical analysis rhetoric is completely useless. Seeing as statistics are based off of prior incidents and this is a present incident...well that's 2 different tenses now isn't it?

Because people change, dude. You can't divide people into binary categories like "liars" and "truthtellers." It's a contradiction only if you're looking at her personality like a logic puzzle, which it is clearly not.

I agree that it makes it problematic, and that skepticism should be taken with this case (as has been done legally), but that doesn't mean you dismiss her outright.

To steer it back to what was originally being discussed: Dale is worried about Enzo's reputation. I am not, because I'm still suss on the whole thing. And I think that's why you won't find that the WWE won't welcome him back and you won't see any WWE contracted personnel publicly congratulating Enzo. I don't mean to appeal to authority, but I think that is really common sense in a situation like this. Enzo's rep is one of the lowest priorities in this for me.

That's all.

Absolutely nothing about this woman could change, and if they turned up more evidence and she would be just as valid a victim as anyone else. That's what's grossing me out about this. That they didn't turn up enough evidence is very good for a presumably innocent Enzo -- good for him -- but these comments about her character have nothing to do with the factual nature of the case. If something awful happened and there was evidence, she could remain exactly the same and it wouldn't make a difference. So why are we even discussing it?

It's a 3page arguement over the sematics of the tense used in "has lied about rape" vs "does lie about rape", because Noid doesn't like Enzo Amore as a person / wrestler.

No headway's been made from either side so far.

What are you doing when you say "women tend not to lie about being raped"? You're assigning odds based on the history of accusers. Vic is assigning odds based on the history of her as an accuser. You're doing the same... exact... thing. Except Vic's example is actually much more pertinent to the case because it takes into account the exact woman we're talking about and not just women in general. You're rationalizing to keep believing what you're dead set on believing. The contradiction is clear as day though. Any argument you have to tear down Vic's quote can be used to tear down yours.

Stepping back from this a little bit, I do understand the position those other guys have. You can look at her past behavior and decide she is unsavory. I don’t agree with this. Inherent in the argument is the reality that either someone was raped or someone is lying about being raped. I don’t feel comfortable calling someone a liar about that just because there isn’t enough evidence to put the other party away. It’s absolutely fucked, as Dale said a while back.

Smeat had the sense to stop banging his head against the wall a while ago, haha.

Police released their reasons why the case was dismissed via a recent statement from Enzo's accuser. Pretty much was a "he says, she says" type situation made worse because it became public.

Only hard evidence police had was both being in the same room during the timeline and sex occurring. They couldn't get enough details or evidence afterwards nor from others possibly involved that night.

There are no words to describe what this feels like... To know that my rapist is walking away from this, free of charges, and will continue to be a part of society today. I have said this many times, and I will say it again: I did this for sexual assault survivors/victims who did not/do not have the courage to speak up about their stories. For those who feared for their lives & knew that if they spoke up, they would be killed. For those who’s assailant was a family member. For those who were set up to be assaulted. No matter the differences in our stories, we are one in the same. I did this in hopes that by coming out about what happened to me on October 19, 2017 & the correct legal measures taken, that my story may end in a little bit of hope with my assailant being prosecuted. To my disbelief & complete misfortune, this did not happen. I was so mentally shaken up in every way possible after the night that it happened that i waited 4 days to report it to the police. Hence the DNA samples taken were 4 days old & would have had to survive a shower & regular visits to the bathroom. That is where I messed up in this process, but I don’t blame myself. I have been told that I did this for money, fame, out of spite, and to those that believe these things, all I can say is you are very wrong. I am a different person today. I used to have anxiety, but since the incident it has escalated to a much higher level. I have frequent panic attacks. I rarely can handle any interaction with men. I wake up most nights in a complete panic & have to use coping mechanisms to relieve the emotions. I have PTSD & it shows itself in a variation of ways. I’m married to a woman named Depression & she is my lover. People get jealous & frustrated because she gets all of me. Most days we just lay in bed & refuse to get up. She takes from the quality of my life & tonight she was begging me to self harm. I have been hiding from my phone all day, dodging the hate. But when I came home, it was overwhelming. I wanted nothing more than that release. My favorite coping mechanism is writing, so I decided to share an up-to-date side of my story. Eric Ardnt is not innocent, & I AM A SURVIVOR.

I will continue to ask this question. Why is she releasing statements and not a lawyer. At no point has a lawyer released a statement on her behalf, and that is truely befuddling. If she is serious, why has she not had a lawyer represent her? I would love to know this answer. I want to know the name of the lawyer who is representing her. If there is no lawyer, than this is all bullshit.

There is not one lawyer that would be letting her release her own statements right now. Not one. My guess... Lawyers took a look at this case ( bloodsuckers they are. ) and determined there was no case and they could not extract money out of Enzo. And yes. There is money to be extracted out of Enzo. Current money and future earnings can be extracted.

The fact that she's releasing her own statements are so damning in this entire thing.

I'll go further on this.

I think Enzo is going to get hired back into the WWE. Not because they have to in any way. But because this whole thing is sounding like a joke. Did they have issues with Enzo before hand, sure. But this entire rape case seems like a sham. Does this woman even have a lawyer? It all makes zero sense. He looks completely innocent and he's done everything he should have which is keep his fucking mouth shut and let his lawyer do his job.

Case closed.

Unless its a very high profile case or incident (ex. Trump, Cosby, etc), i'd assume getting a lawyer at that stage isn't a common thing to do. It does make it a lot easier to attack the accuser's credibility and her actions didn't help at least in the public sphere.

Enzo needed one sooner than she did just because he had a lot more to lose if he spoke out publicly without legal advice. I'd also assume its easier to find lawyers willing to defend these cases than prosecute them prior to criminal charges being filed.

This is a high profile case based on his earnings and potential earnings. Lawyers have been retained for much less.

You're wrong. There are no shortage of lawyers willing to prosecute a rape case against anyone that even sniffs fame.

Lawyers are considered bloodsuckers for a reason. They are like sharks in the water. If they smell blood, they swarm at it. This is a case that a lawyer should be swarming to take. Which leaves me with my original question. Who is her lawyer?
