I couldn't help smirking, JK, when I read that the 2 "Presidents" currently in trouble were the Israeli President and the US one !
Grabbing things that don't belong to you clearly often back-fires !!!

Walter, I saw the programme you refer to. It was deliberately ambiguous (in that after the "trial" result had been announced, it showed "what actually happened" but was still far from clear whether any rape had actually taken place.
Its far too easy to make an allegation (and as the programme you refer to clearly pointed out) IF people wait days (weeks, months or even years in some cases) before making an allegation then they have ensured that any evidence that did exist has now gone (perhaps that was their intention?)

Attorney general Mazuz has gone on record citing obstruction of justice ,fraud and rape. The president shouts lies and libel as you would expect. It's a big call from Mazuz if there is any doubt or question over the charges.

No Walter but I was convicted of crimes I did not commit against, in one case, someone I never even met.
False allegations against innocent people are easily made and almost impossible to disprove.
Which is not to take away anything from the genuine victims.
Of course there are real abuses. It's just that most people seem unable to accept the opposite - that there are liars too. Very persuasive some of them, and highly paid.

You weren't convicted of rape as far as I recall, and the C4 play ' Consent' on Sunday showed ,it takes a lot of guts to attempt to gain a conviction
