That every single accused rapist is innocent? Did you know a legal presumption of innocence makes an accused rapist immune from criticism on a discussion board? So this Heisman trophy winner hasn't been prosecuted and therefore is not a legally convicted rapist. Do you suppose the legal presumption of innocence will stop these same people from calling George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Henry Kissinger war criminals? Isn't it interesting how the legal presumption only binds speech critical of men who sexually assault women and not those implicated or not even charged in other crimes?

Could there once be a case of rape where we don't have to hear about how innocent the alleged perpetrator is? Would it be possible to once consider that a rape victim might not be a lying "b...h" "setting up" some poor innocent man?
