Fucks sake. Strauss-Kahn has been repeatedly accused of rape and sexual assualt
in the US and in France. What happened in your example was "powerful man got off an accusation of rape because the US legal system tends to favour money and power over truth"

Of course I don't know the details any more than you, so maybe he was innocent. Maybe he's been inncoent of every other rape accusation he's bought his way out of, too.

Oh, wait.
you're trolling, aren't you? because I'm struggling to believe you're this daft actually.

..im not siding, nor agreeing with anyone
Im merely pointing out, that people of power are easily removed by an alligation of rape...

its such an easy one to setup and watch them fall.

What are you talking about, crocodile-like creatures do not make accusations of sexual assault.

probably
what if they didnt though?

That wouldnt be nice...

you know, a guy being accused of rape, would it? it wouldnt destroy any credibility in him at all would it.... even if it was an "Allegation"
(Dan dan dan They tik urh jerbs!!!, Tue 21 Aug 2012, 15:19, closed)

it doesn't generally destroy credibility if you're found not guilty.
Strauss-Kahn didn't lose his job because he was accused of rape. He lost his job because, whether it was rape or not, he fucked a hotel maid and several other women who weren't his wife, whilst not telling his wife, and it's considered pretty poor form to be head of the IMF if you're a liar. Doesn't inspire confidence in the whole thing, really.

having an affair isn't that bad, no
oh, except if you hold a position where your honesty must be unquestionable, and you lie about it. Like he did. A lot.
