‘Not guilty’ does not mean ‘innocent’.
In cases like this it usually means that there was not evidence ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ as to his guilt. This means recorded admissions, audiovisual evidence, or physical (medical) evidence.
Can you guess what most rape survivors don’t gather immediately after being raped?
And don’t get me started on the response from the court when a complainant does collect that evidence. “You can’t have been that traumatised if you had the level head needed to collect evidence. Sounds premeditated.”
All of this ignores the point that while he was acquitted on almostless than half of the charges, the rapist was CONVICTED and found GUILTY of more than half of them. Why is your first reaction, when a rapist is found guilty of rape, to leap to the defence of the rapist?
Kinda weird.
Maybe be less shit.
