Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
A criminal trial has to rely on direct evidence, not aggregated statistics about sexual assaults.
Everyone here agrees those are bad.
Most would also agree there needs to be some reform in the way sex cases are prosecuted.
Virtanen was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.
If Jane Doe wants to sue him, she’s welcome to.
But unless you have some additional evidence that proves his guilt, I don’t think you should delegitimize a jury’s verdict of Not Guilty.
