He isn't accused of rape - it was "unprotected consensual sex", which is quite different. The charges were withdrawn by the women, but re-instated by someone TBD. I think the parent poster's description is closer to the mark. Democracy? Each to their own I guess.

It's cool. You can quibble semantics or argue which specific portion of the sexual assault laws he has or hasn't violated.

Don't understand your reference to Democracy or what it has to do with this case.

Regardless of all aforementioned responses: My point remains the same. shrugs
