We will have to wait and see what happens, it's an ugly situation all around for all involved. I am a big believer in these things getting settled in a court of law, far too often in today's world we are deciding things online, on Twitter or this other type of garbage and that isn't right. The whole #ibelieve and all that stuff all though great for headlines and all but isn't exactly a legal principle.
There are a million pieces of information we just don't know and that includes what happened and what evidence there may be. People have opinions one way or another, but the evidence and the court is what should guide us.
These type of situations for all involved can be tricky, not just for athletes but for all people no matter who you are. I have personally seen it first hand with people who take one side on this issue to the fullest extent possible and than switch sides when it's a relative and someone they love as the accused. It really can be interesting.
This may end up going to court and there could be some extremely damaging evidence on both sides that come out, we may not even know what happens. In the end, it will be very very hard for anything to be definitive if this all comes to a he/she said "No/yes". You can't prove anything one way or another.
Some men have real issues with these type of situations and get themselves into a lot of trouble cause they are morons and the worst of the worst.
The exact same scenario can be said of women in some certain circumstances. I have always found older women's take on these type of circumstances very interesting and a lot of times it's in completely different mindset. Best way to describe it as precautionary vs reactionary. True victims are true victims and they deserve justice. It's a bad world out there and all we can do is try our best to teach, learn, respect and continue to improve.
