I don't understand many things that I nevertheless know are true. What is the obsession people have with WHY the vast majority of women don't want to involve the legal system when they are sexually assaulted? Can you not just accept that this is a fact, and work from there?

Yes, it might be important to know the reasons if we want to encourage more women (or men, for that matter) to come forward. However, it is not at all relevant in a discussion like this. As it turns out, at least one woman has come forward and identified herself. If you only believe that now that this has happened, that Jian is likely guilty, then you have a disconnect with logic and reality based upon an incorrect belief that anonymous accusations are likely untrue due solely to their anonymity.
