thats the reason I let it be 😆 We are laughing here but just imagine the situation for the victim in the court . Its never easy. Thats the reason why the girls statement gets the upper hand as its natural to think that no girl would deliberately lie about such things but then there are girls who do!

well, the rule is simple. don't post anything that you don't want your kids or younger siblings to read.

In my completely unqualified opinion on the Shiney Ahuja case, I feel the investigation conducted was subpar and not thorough. While rape kits can be conflicting in cases where one claims rape and the other person claims consensual, a thorough investigation should find inconsistencies in a fake claim of assault under influence of alcohol. It is very difficult for a genuine victim to go over the experience in detail again. However, this testimony is often critical in determining the veracity of a case. Rape is usually handled by special units who are trained to be psychologically and emotionally empathetic to the victim. A thorough questioning can often reveal that injuries, stains, property damage is actually inconsistent with the victim's story of how they were assaulted. Moreover, there are psychological signs of rape like sensitivity/aversion to certain people/interactions, hesitation to speak/discuss with people. Usually a genuine rape victim latches onto very few from the investigative unit for support and does not talk much to others. I feel the maid nor Shiney were questioned thoroughly enough. It seemed that the investigation assumed guilt too early in the process. The maid also appeared to show behavior inconsistent with most victims.

But, this is completely subjective opinion not grounded in any real knowledge of rape or rape investigation. Maybe there still is a probability that it was rape and the maid recanted after a payback etc. Perhaps that is why they say rape is not an easy crime to prove or disprove, and even after convictions there are still few doubts.

As for the concern about graphic posts, from my perspective I don't feel anything posted here is unsuitable for people below thirteen. I feel that there has been sensitivity shown in avoiding too many graphic details. If there is someone below thirteen here, that is their parent's issue and they have lied while registering. However, if there is concern that there is content unsuitable for teens please report, or PM me and/or the poster and I'm sure we can try and accommodate to those concerns.
