I still think there are more legitimate reasons to be wary of this woman's credibility and her representatives' credibility than the actual account. I also feel there is a lot of confusing stuff and oddly phrased language in her account, as well as some strangely inconsistent portions like the "sex therapist" stuff.
But even though I feel that way, I know that evil is often odd, hard to describe accurately, and can sound entirely unbelievably. Personally, I can't discount her based SOLELY on her version of things sounding made up. That sets up a slippery slope for more ignorant people than us to dismiss other rapes that sound a bit "out there".
War would probably also sound "out there" if we described it to some sentient whales or AIs. They might not believe that we destroy ourselves with radiation and tools designed to eject hot metals into other human beings with the highest efficiency possible. Very illogical and crazy sounding concepts.
False accusations are very rare. Thus, I am uncomfortable bringing this woman down unless I can point to even vague "evidence" and "facts". I can do that with other elements of the case, without adding to the culture of denial present in our society.
Perhaps its just a personal thing though, maybe it isn't as big a deal as I think it is. At least on the Bulls forum here, the majority of you are likely not going to take the same attitude for other extreme sounding rape, or strange sounding testimony in general, I know that, but in the world?
A lot of people say Zimmerman did nothing wrong. A lot of people think Brady did something wrong.
Its quite obvious Zimmerman is a crazy person who murdered Trayvon based on his behavior, past and present, and his general personality. Read the case, and its also pretty clear no one should have been shot that day/Zimmerman was lying about some details. But based on the facts, a largely unfair verdict was given.
That doesn't mean he didn't murder someone in cold blood.
The Wells report is a joke and has been refuted by everyone from our own managment/org, to various independent sources that are not Patriots fans and are not affiliated with the club. Even most fans on other forums that hate our team admit the report was extremely faulty.
Yet, Brady has to be out for four games, and we had to pay an insanely large fine. Its all highly possible someone else in the org, Bellichick, someone Brady instructed to illegally alter the balls, some idiot, or even a disgruntled Colts employee may have deflated them. Its possible it was the heat/some sort of bureaucratic mistake.
But we're not going to be able to judge based on what Brady/Zimmerman/Rose/this Woman have to say about the issues. It will come down to real things we can point at. Things like Brady texting guys with the implication he was giving the gifts for "something". Things like Zimmerman's wounds being ruled as "medically insignificant" by the medical examiner during the trial or a witness' account of hearing Martin scream "help" with a subsequent gunshot following.
Things like no criminal charges ever being charged, firing or losing your initial two lawyers. More will come out and is coming out, like text messages/social media stuff, but its complete hearsay regarding the rape/the details of the relationship from her end. It could very well all be true but Rose wasn't the one that raped her. It could all be false.
But more often than not these things are real, and I have to respect them as such. If only for the other women/victims.

The little details that where released seemed a bit far fetched, in my opinion. I suppose others too. Again, if you felt differently, that's good for you.
If folks had said the details seemed a little "far fetched" and left it at that, that'd be one thing, but the snap judgments being thrown around here went much, much further --- and that, as I said,
was before the complaint was even released. If you don't see it, that's good for you.
This.
