Wouldn't be the first time false rape/assault claims are used for personal gain. They seem to be almost as common as genuine rape/assaults these days.
Then again if it's true, that's pretty ****ed up.
I disagree with that statement, vehementally... it is clearly shown that the vast majority of these cases are genuine, just very difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, he said she said, particularly when it is a husband and wife scenario. Most of these things never get reported at all.
Also it is a big leap and very difficult thing to do, to actually make charges at a police station. Majority of the time the woman do get a lot of public criticism and motives questioned, particularly when it is somebody famous.
Why would the wife want to reconcile with someone that tried to kill her? 樂
It is very common for woman to want to reconcile with an abusive partner, even dropping charges in cases that are easily proven. Should not break this down to a binary idea but realise there is a great deal of emotional manipulation, uncertainty etc.
I have some 2nd hand knowledge of this due to my partners past history, and I can say that more often than not the accuser gets more problems initially than the accused.... only once it is clearly decided and proven, normally in court, does the accused get any sort of real adversity. Nobody wants to believe that somebody they know, are friends with, and/or are admire is capable of such things and normally try explain behaviour away.
In no way am I saying he is or is not guilty, what I am saying is that whenever these cases come up everybody starts questioning the accusers motives... if you are unsure or have doubts the best thing is just not to say anything and see how it plays out.
