And like people have already said earlier, some of these situations...hard to believe they didn't know what they were getting into, and likely just regretted it after. Like the girl who said she consented because she was scared, but didn't mention any threats or violence and still went from the car to the apartment - we weren't there so who knows, but the way it's described doesn't sound like there were any "sleep with me or I'll hurt you" threats made. And that military photo of the guy touching that lady though like 10 layers of clothing and body armor...someone dug up some photos showing that she is essentially guilty of the same thing.
I think predators of all types are pieces of shit and should rot in jail, but I find it very disturbing that zero proof is required and life-changing decisions are all made without a trial.
