      For certain! Both my life and that of 3 other guys would have been ruined if the judge chose to just believe the first girl I was with.

      They would later go on to say that they lied on every single one of them. Tho, it didn’t help the youngest one and latest they accused. He still got bullied out of the school they were in.

        People downvoting you cause they can’t handle the truth that stuff like that actually happens. It conflicts with their worldview in which women never lie and men are never falsely accused.

        Say this in some places and they’ll either call you a rapist or a rape apologist. It’s the same as when cops say “If you’re not doing anything wrong then why do you need rights? If you don’t have any drugs then why won’t you let me search your vehicle?”

        Ask them if people should have believed Emmett Till’s accusers and they’ll say “THAT’S DIFFERENT” without really being able to explain how…

        P.S., Epstein is a scumbag and all his associates should burn. Nothing in this comment is intended to be read as an excusal of them, but rather as an argument against overgeneralizing it to treat all men as guilty unless proven innocent
