If anybody actually saw any of the testimony it would be reasonable to believe that both parties may have lied or tried to lead on the jury in some aspects. End of story. Anybody who couldn't see some of that with the questions from the crown and the defense is just lying to themselves. There is the legal system and there is common sense, realistic questions and concerns to be asked of this and that person's conduct regardless of what happened.
Sometimes scenario's like these are where older people give advice to the younger generation. I recall vividly my father telling my brother and I to "Watch where you put your **** and your signature in life" If I had a sister, I can bet you my mother would have hounded her about being careful around men, careful where they were alone with men, always have an exit strategy and to nevermind all these business meetings and other event's taking place in men's hotel rooms and hotel bed's and people pretending they don't have a clue what may or may not happen.
Everybody needs to use common sense and protect their downside risk where they can. Hopefully both parties are able to move on and live life.
