The 6% conviction rate for rape in America seems to be in line with the 5 % rape conviction rate in the UK.
"sexual assault in Britain has become a low-risk crime. In 1985 there was a 24 per cent conviction rate in rape trials. By 2003 it had fallen to 5 per cent."

Poor Hoid........his defense of LIE-beral electric TOY cars has so completely fallen apart that he is reduced to discussing HYPOTHETICAL rape statistics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently Hoid has conveniently FORGOTTEN that lovely LIE-beral habit of PLEA BARGAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plea bargaining makes major crimes into minor ones and makes minor crimes DISAPPEAR ENTIRELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then add in the legal machinations of Feminazis with their poisonous delusions about the definition of rape and most of our crime numbers are hopelessly poisoned by political propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here is a thought regarding the Kavanaugh/Blaisey Ford LIE-beral circus:
Teen girls who go to parties and drink heavily and pass out on a bed should regard their situation as being rather similar to a car owner who parks the car on a street and leaves the keys in the ignition!
Most people who walk by will shrug and consider it a foolish thing to do- offering up such a temptation- and then they will walk on.
But there are always a FEW people who will give in to temptation and do what they know they should not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the case of a car thief- the judge has to be satisfied with the evidence BEFORE there can be a conviction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly the Metoo and LIE-beral BIGOTS have dispensed with the concept of proven evidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals think it is enough that they MAKE an accusation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals are demonstrating their comfort level with the sort of show trials put on by third world dictators who usually have titles such as "President For LIFE" after their names!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations LIE-berals- thanks to you -Fascism comes to Amerika!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I have already established, this is valid only if the accusation is true in all cases.
Sexual assault is the crime most often falsely reported.

Melissa Gentz took to social media to show the beating her boyfriend allegedly gave to her.INSTAGRAM
The Brazilian heir to a $1-billion fortune accused of battering his girlfriend black and blue is claiming it was self-defense.
Cops say 25-year-old heir Erick Bretz kicked his girlfriend, Melissa Gentz, 22, in the head, ripped out her hair, and slugged her with an empty booze bottle at their Tampa apartment.
The rich kid — who had been drinking and popping pills — has been charged with domestic battery by strangulation.

Gentz’s ordeal gained worldwide social media traction with graphic photos of the alleged attack.
Bretz and his lawyer are now claiming that it was Gentz that triggered the violent brouhaha. She admitted throwing the first punch in the police report.
His legal team also plans to sue Gentz for slander and libel after she released pictures of her bruised face.
“The evidence in this case clearly dictates that Ms. Gentz was the aggressor. Erick and his legal team will bring all the facts of this incident to light and expose her account as simply untrue and that Erick is innocent,” his lawyer Larry McMillan told the Daily Mail.

“In the end, Mr. Bretz and his family will prosecute Ms. Gentz for her slanderous and libelous actions. They will seek to recover damages for the harm to his and his family’s outstanding reputation.”
The lawyer also scoffed at claims his client tried to strangle Gentz, saying he had no marks on his hands.
Bretz has pleaded not guilty to the one remaining charge of domestic battery by strangulation and is out on $60,000 bail. His passport has been revoked and he cannot leave the U.S.

In an audiotape of the fight that Gentz released, Bretz unleashes a bitter tirade: “Why are you so dumb? Stop being stupid, see. You have no more notion of p … none. I already told you, see. Stop being dumb!”
He then adds: “You do not accept the man who has more dominance than you. You do not accept, you think you’re the man of the relationship. But you’re not, you’re a woman, you see, you have to accept that!”

Yeah -for too many women- that accusation of assault is the quick, cheap and dirty way of getting back at an annoying man!!!!!!!!!
Fortunately- our LIE-beral overlords are becoming embarrassed at how often such accusations get shot down in court and are now SLOWLY starting to take modest action against women who tell the most ridiculous stories!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE will never be entirely free of these cheap shots because Feminazis and their LIE-beral overlords truly believe that all SHOULD be needed to convict a man - is an ALLEGATION from a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had neighbours for a while- and she was a stay at home Mom with one child- and spent much of her day in bars and such- spending money they could not afford while hubby boiled and fretted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And one evening- looking at MORE BILLS- and with no food in the house- hubby boiled over and the argument began!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And SHE GOOFED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE ATTACKED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hitting, kicking, scratching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he defended himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And she phoned the cops and they came and got both sides of the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the cops took HER AWAY in handcuffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And oh my- SUCH LANGUAGE from the mouth of a lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The house went up for sale and they were gone.............
One blow struck for truth and justice in a world poisoned by LIE-beral bigots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The English writer P.G. Wodehouse once observed: "children are innocent and thus they want justice. While the rest of us just want mercy"!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals DEMAND MERCY as one of their entitlements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The facts would point to the Collective being far ahead in the number of lies told in a single day. That is years long so it gets worse rather than better.
Democrats seem to do more of it than anyone else. Or at least they get caught lying more often.
Manhattan DA drops part of Weinstein case
NEW YORK — Manhattan's district attorney dropped part of the criminal sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein on Thursday after evidence emerged that a police detective had coached a witness to stay silent about evidence that cast doubt on the account one of his three accusers.
The development was announced in court with Weinstein looking on. The 66-year-old former movie mogul, who has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex, still faces charges over allegations that he raped an unidentified woman in his hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on a different woman in 2006.
The tossed charge involves allegations made by Lucia Evans, who was among the first women to publicly accuse Weinstein of sexual assault.
In an expose published in The New Yorker one year ago Wednesday, Evans accused Weinstein of forcing her to perform oral sex when they met alone in his office in 2004 to discuss her fledgling acting career. At the time, Evans was a 21-year-old college student. She said she had initially met Weinstein at a restaurant in Manhattan earlier that summer.
Prosecutors said in a letter unsealed Thursday that they learned weeks ago that a female friend who was with Evans the night she met Weinstein had given a police detective a contradictory account of what happened.
The woman, prosecutors said, told the detective in February that Weinstein had offered them money to flash their breasts during the restaurant encounter. They initially declined but Evans later told her she had gone ahead and exposed herself to the film producer in a hallway.
The woman also told the detective that sometime after Evans' office meeting with Weinstein, she had suggested what happened was consensual. Weinstein had promised to get her an acting job if she agreed to perform oral sex and she agreed.
According to the witness, who was not named in the court filing, Evans had been drinking and "appeared to be upset, embarrassed and shaking" when she told the story.
Prosecutors said the police detective didn't share any of that information with prosecutors and urged the woman not to reveal details, saying "less is more," and that she had no obligation to co-operate with investigators.
Prosecutors also disclosed that they had discovered a draft email that Evans had written three years ago to a man who is now her husband that "describes details of the sexual assault that differ from the account" she provided to investigators.

========================================================================================================
Trump IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN grab them by the crotch if you offer enough money first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it seems you can do other things to them in exchange for an acting job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Weinstein was able to "operate" as long as he did suggests that many of the women making complaints about him are working with SOUR GRAPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In other words they have decided THEY SOLD OUT TOO CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not sex assault under "casting couch conditions" - it is simple business dealing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you do not like the price thwn you should not buy the "product"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLY IN HOLLYWOOD will a customer try to return a product after TWENTY YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you lay down with dogs- on a casting couch- you will get fleas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too many members of MeToo are acting like participants in that old joke:
A rich man meets a beautiful girl and he offers her a million dollars to sleep with him.........................
She considers and says OKAY........................................
He then says "would you sleep with me for one dollar"????????????
And she gets mad and asks indignantly: "what kind of girl do you think I am"?????????????????????????
And the rich man responds: " we have already established what you are- now we are haggling over the price"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feminazi members of MeToo want to bioth have their cake and eat it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They want to be strong and independent individuals with their own rights and resources.......................and they also want to be helpless victims of evil men and thus ENTITLED to claim compensation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be a modern Feminist is to openly advocate discrimination and hate against men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TYPICAL LIE-beral response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO NEED to get the FULL OR HONEST STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to ask if she was on drugs and feeling no pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to ask if she was throwing things- like pots of boiling water or kitchen knives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need ot ask if she was trying to kick in the front of the tv or break the windshield of the guys car when she was "restrained"!!!!!!!!!!!
In short- LIE-berals are DEMANDING YET AGAIN -that WE NOT ASK for any facts before we rush to judgement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yet LIE-berals STILL FAIL to understand what so many people find deceptive and discriminatory and dishonest about the MeToo
FASCIST Movement and its war on ALL white men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the MeToo Movement loves to remind us- it is men who have generally been in charge and yet it is those same men- that MeToo Fascists love to HATE- that made Rape a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it is those same men who will PUNISH a rapist- if ONLY you will SUPPLY EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it is bigoted Feminazis who issue blanket condemnation of ALL MEN - without any evidence who scream loudest about ALLEGED injustice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christie Blatchford: Fired UBC professor Steven Galloway suing woman who accused him of sexual assault
In a last-ditch attempt to stop people from calling him a rapist and worse, former University of British Columbia professor Steven Galloway is now suing the woman who first accused him of sexual assault and two UBC professors and a group of former students and others who “recklessly repeated” the woman’s allegations on social media.
In total, more than 20 individuals are named in the lawsuit, filed Friday in the Supreme Court of B.C., including the woman until now publicly known only as “Main Complainant” or “M.C.”
She is Caralea Cole, a 48-year-old successful artist and former faculty member at several universities in the United States and Canada before she enrolled in UBC’s creative writing program.
The two UBC professors are Keith Maillard, a man Galloway once considered a father figure, and Annabel Lyon, also a teacher in the creative writing program Galloway once headed.
The former UBC students include Chelsea Rooney, Brit Bachmann and Glynnis Kirchmeier, with York University’s Mandi Gray, herself a former sexual assault complainant-turned-activist, also named.
None of the allegations have been proven and the defendants have not yet filed their defences.
In the fall of 2015, with the university saying there were serious allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment against him, UBC suspended Galloway. He was fired in June of 2016, despite a report which effectively cleared him of wrongdoing.
Former B.C. Supreme Court judge Mary Ellen Boyd wrote that report, and said she could substantiate none of the allegations against the celebrated author and former chair of UBC’s creative writing program — except, perhaps, that he’d erred by having a consensual affair with the woman.
Although her name has long been known to those at UBC and to her online supporters, Boyd described her only as M.C. and her identity has been voluntarily guarded since by the many media organizations which have published stories about the controversy for the past three years.
Even using the lower civil standard of “on a balance of probabilities” — the criminal one, “beyond a reasonable doubt,” is much tougher — the retired judge said of one purported assault that she couldn’t conclude it had occurred when alleged “or at all.”
In virtually every instance, Boyd found Galloway more credible than his accusers.
Since Boyd issued her report in April of 2016, Galloway also has won several arbitration awards against UBC for its handling of the entire matter — most recently the university was found to have breached the confidentiality provisions of the first award he won, totalling more than $240,000.
Yet according to the statement of claim, it would seem that neither the judge’s findings nor the arbitrator’s decisions have served as any sort of deterrent to Galloway’s critics.
Many of the alleged defamatory statements about him were made this year, some as recently as August.
Collectively, the allegations serve as a harsh reminder that for the online mob, judicial and quasi-judicial findings, like verdicts in criminal trials, don’t count.
The alleged defamations by Maillard and Lyon mainly relate to things they allegedly said to UBC colleagues about Galloway (that he “raped Cara Cole,” for instance) at internal meetings in 2015.
But many of the others happened on social media as recently as 2018.
For instance, just this summer, Cole had a solo show at the New York gallery High Noon. Called “Illuminated Manuscript,” the show, said the gallery description, “derives from what Cole refers to as her Rape Narrative, a narrative (and term) sanctioned by a university after she disclosed being sexually harassed, assaulted and abused by a professor.”
On Aug. 3, Theresa Smalec reviewed the show in the online magazine Political/Letters Live, and quoted from Cole’s “artist’s statement” that through the art, she was reclaiming her “narrative” to “tell my story, on my terms, for the first time through this exhibition.”
In July of this year, defendant Wendel Schwab, a student at the University of Northern British Columbia, allegedly wrote on Twitter: “In my opinion, Steven Galloway sexually assaults women … in my opinion, Steven Galloway is what I would consider human garbage.”
In May, another defendant, Marcelle Kosman, allegedly tweeted that, “We will never know the scope of Galloway’s violence and can never fully account for it.”
Two months earlier, Kosman allegedly chimed in on a discussion about whether Galloway’s books should be taught as part of the UBC curriculum with this, “You cannot teach a rapist if you do not want to promote rape culture.”
According to the claim, in February, Glynnis Kirchmeier, a former UBC student, a sexual harassment complainant in another matter and activist, sneered at the notion that Cole and Galloway had had an affair. “That piece,” Kirchmeier allegedly said in reference to a story which mentioned the affair, “said Galloway had an ‘affair’, which we now know is what he calls raping.”
Gray once allegedly tweeted “#galloway…rapists should be held accountable” and just this July allegedly posted a picture of Cole’s art installation.
According to the statement of claim, a defendant named Emily Kellogg in April tweeted, “it takes a village to protect a rapist” with the hashtag #ubcaccountable, that being a group of writers and publishers who supported Galloway’s right to due process.
Of the same group, another defendant named Dana Kagis is alleged to have tweeted, “a whole lotta really big writers are super into supporting their rapist friend.”
The lawsuit says the defendants acted “with express malice arising from the extreme and vicious content of the publications,” either knowing they were false or not knowing if they were true, and because of their “attitudes of spite.”
Despite Boyd’s findings, the statement of claim says, the defendants “nevertheless continued and persisted in repeating false claims that the plaintiff was guilty of rape and sexual assault.”
The claim seeks unspecified general, special and aggravated damages and a permanent injunction “requiring the defendants to remove the defamatory words from the internet and every other public postings” and restraining them from any further publishing.

The claim seeks unspecified general, special and aggravated damages and a permanent injunction “requiring the defendants to remove the defamatory words from the internet and every other public postings” and restraining them from any further publishing.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POOR stupid, desperate LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their understanding of law and democracy is so utterly POISONED they do not understand the difference between evidence and accusation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neither LIE-berals nor their rabid Feminazi allies are FIT to meddle with out legal system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ALLEGED sex assault case should go first- and if the guy is convicted then the lawsuit will be dropped!!!!!!!!!!!!
But if the guy is proved INNOCENT - then the FEMINAZI BIGOTS SHOULD PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you LIE-berals for your determined erosion of justice and fair play where men can now be slandered and libeled at will by vicious and bigoted HARPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
