The fact that fifteen people have come forward with similar stories seems more than coincidental, but I still want to wait for a trial. The Duke case taught us a few things and, since we no longer try victims of sexual assault in the court of public opinion, we shouldn't try the accused there either. North America doesn't practice guilt by accusation.

I just pity the twelve people who end up on that jury, because it feels like the OJ trial all over again.
