I'm not saying you aren't allowed to and I was talking about a police investigation, presumably she has filed a report. I'm not American so I don't know if the statute of limitations has passed.
You asked for reasons why she might have made this up, I provided them to you and then added context for why we (collectively as a society) might want to reel in the reactions just a little bit.
Putting aside this accusation for the moment, I think things have changed here. Two of your points will need to be looked at by researchers in the near future. One, that false accusation are rare. I'm sure they have been, but after another few years of twitter accusations and anonymous gossip, I'm sure that number will be skewed. Second, the reason to come forward with a false accusation is to instantly ruin a person's reputation with no evidence, which was impossible before social media allowed an accusation to spread instantly.
To me it just as easily reads like someone who is angry about being unjustly accused.
And if no other woman wants to deal with the trauma of putting that out there? Oh well, guess it sucks for this woman then? What if she was the only victim? It would still be wrong.
You said that maybe she was trying to find the right one in order to avoid a publication with a shitty reputation. His response was to clarify that no, your scenario is not what happened because she was just going to the big ones.
Can you expand on that a bit? Do you think it's dumb that in the midst of the MeToo movement women re coming forward with this sort of thing? Should they have done it on a timeframe you deem acceptable?

She's not accusing him of rape.
Okay, with the foresight that I may be wandering into "No? Just me?" territory, has nobody else ever fantasized about being caught masturbating and having it lead to something? Or catching someone else in the act? A rational person understands actually doing this won't play out as they imagine. I wouldn't think this is an uncommon fantasy, nor would it surprise me that powerful people in Hollywood, who are used to having people wantonly throw themselves at them, would try and make their fantasy a reality. And, maybe it has worked for them before. We're only hearing from the people who are rightfully disgusted by it.
You're extrapolating my point. I gave you possible reasons she might have made this up, which is what you asked for. I didn't say any of them were reasons to immediately dismiss her claims, just potential reasons a person might make up a lie about another person.
I think where i struggle with this is that it feels like the two things are quite dissimilar. But to be clear, i would agree even without data that the likelihood of false accusations is low in both situations - i just didn't think you could use the data from one to support the other.
I'm kind of confused by this. Is it pulling it out, or is it rubbing the crotch a bit with pants on?
