I'm pretty sure some of you think this girl is some kind of criminal mastermind who somehow lured Kane into sleeping with her in order to get some payout.
I also assume the people who think this don't have a daughter.

The testimony and character of accusers (and plaintiffs and witnesses) are challenged and called into question by lawyers in every criminal case. Aggravated assault, extortion, murder. I'm not downplaying how distressing this is to alleged rape victims. But lets not pretend the courts treat them worse than their counterparts in other crimes. We have an adversarial justice system. It's the job of the defence lawyer to cast doubt on the credibility of the accuser.

Hold the phone, you have a daughter?!
Kane is clearly guilty. Who needs something as trivial as evidence?! She's a young girl! She could never lie.

Can you please provide a comparison on the number of rape charges v rape convictions v false rape charges?

Doesn't matter. You still don't just assume someone is guilty cause the person who said he is happens to have a vagina.

It does matter, you were able to provide a few examples. Are they proof or are they outliers.

They're proof that the capability to lie is present. Hence why we have courts.

Isn't Kane innocent until proven guilty?
Some people are assuming the girl is lying. More are assuming she is telling the truth.

They are proof that anyone can cherry pick articles/stats if they spend some time on google.

Mr. Miller, founder of Wirtzsucks, a Blackhawk fan site (that clearly had disdain for Dollar Bill!), posted an interesting POV on the Kane incident, more to the point, to the feelings that a settlement with the victim is even being considered:
My wife (and another female friend) are saying that the fact that there's even settlement talks means - to them - that this was a money grab from Day #1.
They both said that no matter how much money is dangled in front of them, if they were raped they would do everything in their power to see the a**hole behind bars (along with a few other, choice, punishments.)
They talked about vulnerabilities, always having to look over your shoulder, trust issues in future relationships, etc.
Obviously I've never been in that situation before but they were pretty passionate about their stance that money would NOT be a consideration.

That's not fair to the victim at all. There lots of reasons a real victim might settle

It's not wrong to want to settle and it's not wrong to not want to settle. Can we all settle down?

That's a terrible view. There are sooooo many reasons why a victim might want to settle even if she's telling the truth. They have no insight into the girls situation. Ignorant.

People can do mean, crazy things and I hate to break this to you, but women are actually real people just like everyone else capable of the same things as anyone else.

Wait, what? Now you're going too far the other way. It's unfair to paint her as a gold digger and it's equally unfair to say she's telling the truth for sure because that statement suggests Kane is for sure a rapist.
At this point all we have is a potential victim and potential criminal, who hasn't been proven innocent or guilty, or even been charged yet. To suggest she's telling the truth because you have a daughter doesn't mean anything.
This is one of those things were neither accuser or accused should be tarred, and we just wait until there's further news on the case. But that never happens.

I didn't say he was guilty.
I just said the odds that this was some kind of advanced plan to get money out of Patrick Kane are pretty slim.

I took the "daughter" statement as not meaning Kane is going to be found guilty, but that when you have daughters it's pretty scary out there. You want all things equal, but, the rape drug used in bars and the obvious physical vulnerability etc you do feel protective.

That is what I meant - that if you had a daughter you'd be much less likely to accuse someone of making up a rape to get money.
I was talking about the posters making the argument - nothing about whether or not Kane is guilty.
