Alleged Rape of NCCU Student: (Duke Scandal)

[Jimmy Choo]

What is unfortunate is that this may make other women who have been actually raped less likely to come foward. For the longest time when this case first hit the news I had always thought maybe she had been raped but just not by these boys. Maybe she had been attacked before the party or just after the party and these guys were convient scapegoats. Sadly it looks like nothing happened at all. A lot of people really put themselves out there defending this girl! If I was one of them I would be mad as hell right now!

Yes, sadly true most likely on all of your points.

As a woman, I would never want to believe that another woman could make up something as heinous as rape. You just don't want too! But not only has this had an impact on rape victims, IMO, but also the effect on the Durham community. The relationship between Duke University and the city of Durham was contentious on a good day. This has just made things worse. Not only has she had an inegative mpact on lives of these 3 young men but she has had a negative impact on a whole city!!! Nothing is worth that!!!
