muppy Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Justice for Matt Araiza. The victims attorney deserves and needs to be sued. They could conceivably sue her too but she likely has squat for assets. Symbolically I say YES. Will Matt Araiza gain financially from this suit? I'm not a lawyer but I think he has decent chances of winning. I hope so in any case 1 Quote

I'm sure cops spending nine months to process a report had no bearing on the quality of the case presented to the prosecution, nor was their insistence that the school not investigate and the schools decision to comply with that request. Oh, and lest we forget that over 94% of incidents involving sexual assault in this country actually lead to even an arrest. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/06/less-than-percent-rapes-lead-felony-convictions-least-percent-victims-face-emotional-physical-consequences/ And of course that's not even bringing up the specter of a billion dollar collegiate sports empire that clearly does no wrong when it comes to incidents of sexual assaults at places like Penn St, Baylor, Tennessee, Florida State, etc. Why oh why wasn't he prosecuted if he was guilty? It took 50 years for Bill Cosby to be prosecuted, 20 years for Danny Masterson, Trump is still on the loose. Fame, money and prestige are a hell of a shield when it comes to sexual assault allegations. Quote

Yeah, the fame, money and prestige of a college punter 😂 He wasn't prosecuted because the girl and her attorney are full of sh*t. 1 Quote

Once it was proven that a) she lied about her age (as every high schooler who has ever gone to a college party has done) by witness accounts and b) it was consensual, rape and especially statutory rape were gone.

She was a minor and he is an adult. That's what matters. It can be consensual, and still be statutory rape. I'm looking forward to all the shocked faces if it comes out this dude is a serial predator in 10-20 years. Quote

Why is a 22 year old engaging in a consensual sex act with a girl who told everyone who would listen she was 18 is such an egregious offense in your opinion? Quote

Is this a serious question? Because he's 22 and she's 17. Where does your gag reflex kick in? Is 18 and 13 cool to you? 19 and 14? 20 and 15? Quote

Is 18 and 13 cool to you? 19 and 14? 20 and 15? In your expertise in the field, can you often tell the difference between a 17 year old and 18 year old just by looking at them? Do you ID everybody you suspect of being under the age of 25 before you interact with them? Whats your process? Edited June 21, 2023 by Jauronimo Quote

This place has a very lax attitude when it comes to sexual relations with minors it seems. It's more than a little concerning. I guess I shouldn't be surprised based on the other takes around here, but I still am. I thought this was an issue with a lot of common ground, but I guess it's "political" now. Quote

It was a genius response to ignore the fact that the girl lied about her age and try to cast everyone else as a pedo. You got the response you deserve but I edited it anyway. Apparently its on Araiza to be able to intuit everyone's age like some kind of carnival barker and ignore the girl announcing to the party that shes 18. Calling your stance on Araiza a crusade might be an understatement. Edited June 21, 2023 by Jauronimo 1 Quote
