Indeed that is currently the case but if such "evidence" is acceptable in sex cases, why not "I saw XXX speeding" or "YYY took drugs with me" being sufficient for prosecution and conviction? It is madness; government HAS to step in - and you're right, it is simply not fair that such PROOF is acceptable in one situation and not in another. |

The offenses concerning drugs and speeding would require evidence, both of the crime actually happening, and your connection to it. However, the new modus operandi of the law is that cases of sexual allegations require neither evidence, or corroboration. Just the say-so of the "victim", as I believe happened in your case JK. |

If it was before 2003, she was over 14, was consensual, they never went all the way, and one of them wasn't in a position of authority then I wouldn't think they should be imo...  |
