I thought this was an interesting article and yes I realize this comes from a voice for male students so take it with a grain of salt. The biggest thing that jumped out at me is what the prosecutor who prosecuting many rapists said. People always say why would someone put themselves through this, etc... but there are many studies that have concluded false rape claims are much higher than other crimes. The problem is we just don't know. Now this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Winston and his accuser. But I think it is important to know that false rape claims are much higher than the 2%-8% figure that gets thrown around.
