(47,501 posts)I'm not going to pass judgment on Fairfax or the two women who made accusations, not without a more thorough investigation. Its okay to withhold comment until more information is available. We don't have to repeat everything we hear.

(90,347 posts)... where one person who accused Franken said he squeezed her side fat ... I pray that's not repeated.
PatSeg
(47,501 posts)who bought into the Al Franken accusations without giving him the chance to defend himself. It was at a time when new credible accusations were coming out almost every day, so it was easy to slip a bogus one in there. Republican operatives know what they are doing. They are really good at it and have no attachment to truth or principles.
As a woman, I will always listen with an open mind to sexual abuse allegations, but I will not assume someone is guilty just because they've been accused. We should be better than that. We need to learn to stop and take a breath before we pass judgment.

(4,387 posts)...like the one Franken didnt get or the one Kavanaugh wasnt given. Im not equating the two in anything except that neither had an investigation of the claims against them as they should have.

TCJ70
(4,387 posts)I dont know but that seems like the most right option to me. I just know that we live in a time when anyone can say anything...and the only way to clear things up is to take a closer look at these situations.

(10,491 posts)And the Durham police to investigate a rape at Duke in 2000. Can that one even be prosecuted?
TCJ70
(4,387 posts)Its not right to pass judgement based solely on accusations. If the statute of limitations has passed so be it, I guess, but either way, an accusation isnt credible based solely on its existence.
It sounds like this second person has contemporary evidence that should be very easy for law enforcement or investigation professionals to go through and verify.

(90,347 posts)Is to convict someone in part or whole solely off an accusation

(2,736 posts)First he allegedly FORCES a woman ( disgusting ) to perform fellatio on him.
Now he allegedly RAPES ( disgusting ) a woman.
All Northam did was a stupid act...not illegal by sexually assaulting women.
