get to trot out the "innocent until proven guilty," defense. If she was raped she has to listen to people call her a whore and a liar all the same as if she wasn't raped and the legal system has no protection from that. And if it turns out she was raped, more girls will see what this young girl has gone through, and god forbid some of them get raped and then they remember all the comments, the insinuations she was lying and the character assassination she received because "people didn't believe her" and they will think it may just be easier to remain silent. It's a gross way to live.

They're innocent until proven guilty, but she's a whore until they're proven guilty. Doesn't seem exactly fair does it?
I can only see misogynists and 4chan daring to call this girl a whore if she was genuinely raped. No person that dares to call them self sensible would be so heartless.

Nevertheless, that doesn't explain why people ARE calling her a whore in the wake of all of this. What am I to assume? Are they cruel people? Or is there more to this story than what we're being told?
