Some personal life choices an social media posts DO damage her credibility though. She could have been raped. When you make the claim though, it doesn't automatically mean "now prove me wrong". And when you change your story/say things like "I was drugged" because you decided to take drugs you instantly dig a hole for yourself. Just say what actually fucking happened and don't embellish, lie and add "woe is me" shit that just isn't true. If she got raped, the truth should be enough on it's own.

It doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. People are awful. Many of them being capable of rape...just like many of them are capable of lying about being raped.
I legit have no horse in this race. Don't care about Enzo, he's just some guy on T.V. But due process is a thing that exists, and rampantly posting about getting raped on Twitter is just fucked up. As she is (allegedly) the victim, I get she's likely erratic, and not thinking clearly but jesus fucking christ. I strongly believe in due process. It's greatly flawed, but the court of public opinion is the worse of the two. @Noid |

I'm not saying Enzo did it. I'm saying that it's statistically unlikely that she's lying (all things being equal), and her being a drug addict doesn't have anything to do with that. The truth should be enough on its own, but you have legal systems and people on the internet who want to tear it all apart because women be lying whores. Wait and see how this shakes out. Enzo will probably get away with it, because he'll just say "Nah, she was into it," and it's her word from that moment against his, and there's not enough evidence there to convict. But if it comes out as valid, just maybe keep it in mind the next time a woman who seems like she might be a piece of shit to you says someone treated me like one. I'm not saying be gullible or naive, but you can treat these things with gravity. |

I'm not saying her being a drug addict makes her less credible. I'm saying her taking a bunch of drugs because that's what she does and then when it's convenient to villainize someone saying "OMG I WAS DRUGGED" does. If she actually got raped, doing clear things that point to "lying drama queen" is insanely stupid and obviously makes her less credible. If she had just said she did a lot of drugs before it happened, alright. That sucks but she wouldn't suddenly be at fault for being raped because she chose to do too many drugs. The fact that she simply does drugs is irrelevant. The only reason I posted that "cocaine in my eye" tweet earlier was to make fun of her "I was drugged" claim.

Yeah, due process exists, and I don't think anyone is saying skip that? It always goes there when people take someone's (likely) claim that something is true and then states "That's fucked up and if it's true they should face consequences." Like, why respond to that with "but due process is a thing?" Yeah, that's what people are calling for. It's just a shame that it hasn't really caught up to the crimes in many fields (not just sexual assault). I don't think I'm in a position to judge someone on how they respond to that sort of thing. People go back to their attackers willingly in attempts to gain "control" back. People abuse other people. They turn to drugs, prostitution, god or kill themselves. It's not as simple as picking out a pathway of how someone is supposed to react to that and then saying one that is more self-destructive or seemingly damaging is definitively an inappropriate reaction to something inappropriate and sometimes not always quantifiable. I think it is a dumb thing to do, but she is as much the subject of the court of public opinion now. And the thing is, the real court is still the one that holds weight. If Enzo did not do this, it is far more likely it will come out that she is making it up than it is she is making it up. Let's just see how due process goes before we start appealing to due process. |

I understand the impulse to look at people's stories and rip apart inconsistencies. And in a dark way, the mess this world can be is hilarious, so I'm not even mocking sardonic tones and such. I just think the WWE and Phoenix police are taking the right approach by taking it seriously. |

I think we agree that the system sucks, and that relying on people, who are largely stupid, is no fix. And I've taken the bait and started talking about public opinion instead of the point, which is that these things just aren't made up that often, and the only unreported accounts are true accounts (because a false account never happened, therefore it's not unreported). More so than the court of public opinion, we're entering a period where now when a woman comes forward, authorities are going to be more likely to believe them, because they know these stats. And while I'm not a big fan on the court of public opinion, I am a big fan of using your money to hurt these guys with power who throw it around. Not relevant to Enzo, but I love it that businesses feel like they have to take these things seriously otherwise it will affect their bottom-dollar. |

But the main thing is, because these turn into he-said-she-said muck raking situations, the court of public opinion takes over and deems people guilty, when really we'll never know. Which is why SOME people are very resistant to the guilty until proven innocent pitchfork mentality plaguing enough of the population It's a difficult subject to discuss. A family member was molested by her doctor as a 12-year-old. She didn't come forward sadly, but she also was a poor Jewish girl in South Africa during Apartheid, so she wasn't exactly empowered. As I said, I'm happy this girl reported it to the police. But sensationalizing something this serious via Twitter is at the very least a damning indictment on society. |

WWE is definitely taking the right approach though. I agree there. From a PR standpoint, you just can't have him on TV while this is going on like nothing happened. If it turns out to be false then it sucks that it cost Enzo a little but the pros outweigh the cons.

Agree w/fan.
The other problem too, is if Enzo is guilty, I can't see these twitter tactics helping her in the courtroom... which would actually suck. I could be wrong. |

No, the proof will be the proof. Enzo has been suspended pending investigation; not criminally prosecuted. If there is sufficient evidence to charge him, he will be put on trial in a court of law, where he will need to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He'll probably get away even if he did do it.

A woman's past sexual history, at least until very recently (not sure if this has changed), could be used against her in a courtroom. Apparently having sex with A and B and C means you'd automatically have sex with D and E and F, no matter how gross they are.

So what you're saying Noid... is if Neville "gets off", you will likely think he is a rapist?
I'm kind of putting words in your mouth, but that's what I can infer from you saying "He'll probably get away with it if he did do it". |

Ummm, what was she expecting doing drugs and going to the hotel room with him? I'm not saying that if he did it it's ok, but seriously what was she expecting other than sex?

What I'm saying is that if Enzo did do it, it's probably going to come down to his word against hers (just from what is out about the story), with him saying his DNA being deposited was consensual. It'll probably turn into he said/she said, which is not going to work in her favor. |

Yeah, basically. I can see the other sides, as I'm sure you can mine. Either way, I'm not complain about Enzo being off television. Let's hope this is the end of the cruiserweights too, haha.

Basically, the jury only gets to learn the evidence of the victim's previous sex acts with A, B and C if: 1. you can show that it's reasonably possible that the victim's previous sex acts with A, B and C were the actual cause of the victim's injuries, scientific evidence (i.e., semen found, etc.), disease, or knowledge of sexual matters in the present case, 2. you can show that the victim's previous sex acts with A, B, and C are of such a pattern (multiple persons/events, or more than one time) of sexual behavior so unique AND so closely resembling the defendant’s version of the alleged encounter with the victim that it tends to prove that the victim consented to the act charged or behaved in such a manner as to lead the defendant reasonably to believe that the victim consented, (I.e., the victim's past consistent AND unique sexual behavior with A and B and C matches D's claim that the victim consented in the present case), or 3. you're using the victim's past history with A, B, & C, to rebut statements made by the victim re: their own sexual history, BUT ONLY if the victim's sexual history was brought up first by the prosecution AND limited only to the extent necessary to rebut (I.e., Prosecutor Q: "Have you ever had sex before?" Victim A: "I've never had sex before." Now the defendant can rebut that statement by showing only the minimal amount of evidence necessary of A,B, & C's past sex with the victim). |
