There really isn’t that much incentive to accuse a much wealthier man of rape. Famously, justice is rarely (if ever) metered out when the accused person is wealthy and influential. This guy (allegedly) violently raped a woman on his boat and he still gets a speaking gig, so. If you’re so confident it’s a solid way to get ahead, please go ahead and try it yourself. | ||

"So"? The fact that someone is alleged of rape and doesn't lose their invited speech is hardly evidence of injustice. Allegations are not convictions nor proof of guilt. It seems you are against the presumption of innocence. It is itself a cornerstone of justice, not the opposite. | ||
