So someone's life should be ruined without proof or question is what you are advocating.
I don't understand what you are saying here, red. How is waiting until someone is ready to come forward with a story going to ruin someone's life more than coming forward earlier? And is it the responsibility of a crime victim (any crime, not only rape) to watch out for the rights of the person who perpetrated the crime by arranging the timing when he reports the crime of which he was a victim to the best advantage of the criminal? If the victim is scarred by a crime-perhaps he fears the mob-and must summon courage to report a crime-should he not be allowed time to ready himself to report it? Or must we care only for the feelings of the mobsters and their rights since they are presumed innocent?
