The key is if the shirt were damaged. If she took it off then He should have walked away free. Naturally the DA and the court did not consider that. If the shirt was ripped then he should have gotten the 4 to 8. No rip no conviction in my mind. After reading all the horror stories about sexual assault I find this one tough to believe. Play on words does not constitute statement of guilt. He may have been sorry for cheating but his apology was taken out of text. Someone age20 today is not the innocent victim of years ago.

Bob, are you some expert on sexual assault cases? No rip, no conviction? What about the bruises, and his lies, and his confession?
Don't pretend to be something you're not.

Bob, from my understanding the shirt was not ripped, torn, or stretched out. As well as the fact that during "the victim's escape" (quoted from her father who stated his daughter lucky to be able to escape before being raped) she had enough time to put that shirt back on, grab her cell phone, and her cigarettes. When I think of an "escape" from a rapist, running for my life is what comes to mind-with or without my clothes or cell phone. On top of all that, she did not run out of the house screaming, she did not immediately call the police or go immediately to the hospital. No one knows exactly what happened that day, since there were only 2 people in the room, however it just seems like there are many inconsistences to this story. Oh and Rrr what confession?
