Well my two cents are that I fully support an in depth investigation to find out if these claims are true, and if it is true if there are any other potential victims and what systems allowed this kind of behaviour to happen. Unfortunately I am not for or against vin diesel until more evidence is provided. But I hope the victim gets all the help and support during this time and that she won't face any backlash for speaking up.

Hard read, not particularly or anything but jesus it is rough to think that people anywhere behave like that

Important to note that 92-98% of sexual assault allegations are true.

That is absolutely not what that says. That report only indicates that 2-8% are false. For the other 92-98%, there are two categories they are placed in, either true or inconclusive. That report doesn't delve into those numbers at all. Given how difficult charges like that are to successfully prosecute I wouldn't be surprised if a large percentage is inconclusive. That doesn't mean it's true or false and attempting to draw a conclusion one way or the other with that data is wrong.

I think that's a great point and I wasn't intending to misrepresent the data.

The point that I was trying to make is that it is relatively rare for false accusations to be levied and, in difficult situations where truth is difficult to ascertain, we should give voice to the potential victim.

How do you know it’s relatively rare when the data doesn’t give any answer to that.

Also while every victim should have a voice, we should never assume guilt by the other party either. It’s a fundamental cornerstone of modern society.

While researching this I came across someone mentioning Paul Walker in a similar light. Dude was 33 and dating a 16 year old.

Fucking rapist piece of shit. I hope he never works again and loses the lawsuit and dies penniless.

But I doubt it will happen because Hollywood is rotten to the core from the looks of it.

Well, we went from these assholes having a private club of sorts, doing this shit on the downlow almost as part of the business practice.

More and more of these predators are getting exposed.

We can hope the tides are turning.

This is better than silent suffering. Let's purge.
