"A young mom with a daughter to support puts up with her boss’s crude behavior, until one night she says he goes too far. She goes to the police – but that doesn’t solve her problem. It creates a new one."
Heard the later part of that on the radio while in the car today.
It makes me think about other stories that have come up since the #MeToo movement became a thing, where some guy is accused of doing some terrible thing, and then later the charges against the guy were dropped (or were never filed to begin with), and then maybe there were even charges of false accusations against the women, and then the Irredeemably Toxic Shithole types all collectively crow with glee about "vindicated" or "innocent" or whatever on behalf of the man.
I mean, I'm not saying that every story where a woman is said to have falsely reported a sex crime is itself untrue, because I'm sure they're not all untrue, but...
...yeah...
...after hearing a story like this, it certainly makes one have to wonder at least a bit, doesn't it. ¬_¬
(Putting the "police brutality" tag on this, too, because while Nicole Chase wasn't physically brutalized by the police in this case, she was certainly mentally and emotionally brutalized by them.)
