But at least she isn't "doing her gender a disservice" or some nonsense.
What's interesting is that DeCoutere's reaction here (judging Mike as guilty without knowing ANYTHING except that an arrest occurred) is exactly what I've been seeing argued for by people who think that the 'legal system is broken' for sexual assault cases. If you're accused or arrested, you're automatically guilty and you're scum, and no amount of evidence to the contrary will change that. And the victim's account can't be trusted because abuse and sexual assault is traumatic.
So basically: if you're accused, you're guilty.
