Ok, hypothetical situation. A guy is busted with a pound of cocaine, goes to jail, and eventually is let out. Then, later is with a group of people who are busted for drugs, but he claims that he didn't know anything about it. How likely, given his past, are the cops to believe him. Another hypothetical situation. A woman gets busted for prostitution, get fined or whatever, and gets out. She then works as a stripper and claims to be raped. The alleged rape was video taped, but after viewing the tape the prosecutors office DID NOT prosecute.
The point here is that whether we like it or not, our past actions reflect on us! If I have a history of swindling people, a bank is not going to hire me, and with good reason. She is a former prostitute, and while that does not make her a bad person, or a lier, it does make me skeptical whenever she alleges a sex crime. She used to be a willing participant in crimes relating to sex! It has nothing to do with her being a stripper. If you can make money like that - go for it. I sure couldn't.
And one more thing... Prosecutors LOVE rape cases where there is an incriminating video. They would love to crucify any perpetrators they could. If, after viewing the video they decided NOT to prosecute, then the video must not have been to terribly incriminating. The article even called the video "highly ambigious."
As for rape itself, I understand what rape really is. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I cannot imagine watching a video of myself being raped.
I still question her motives. I don't understand why everyone else doesn't.
