Which is complete bullshit. Men are getting arrested daily on the basis of mere accusation of rape having happened. It’s illegal and it’s one of the most strongly enforced laws there is. This was the case before me-too and especially is the case since.
In many cases, it comes down to one person’s word against another’s with little to no additional evidence, making it naturally difficult to convict anyone. I’d argue that it’s better to let a guilty person walk free than to risk imprisoning someone who is innocent.
Without getting into the weeds too much I’d be willing to bet that when the accused rapist is rich there’s a huge chance they’ll be given the benefit of the doubt. While if it’s a poor person they’re far more likely to be caught up in whatever charges the system can present in the interest of snaring another person in the Prison Industrial Complex.
