No he wasn’t..
Your headline should say alleged rape.
There’s witnesses, they would’ve done a DNA/vaginal test to prove forced penetration (so no matter who did it, the rape has been proven to have happened) and 99.9% of rapes aren’t alleged and studies have proven 1 in 3 men admit to rape when it’s worded to sound less serious. Yet 99% of rapists don’t go to jail cuz it takes a lot of evidence to even make an arrest. Even after arrests, there’s always people like you saying “allegedly” and insinuating the victim is lying (which wouldn’t be plausible in this case, or majority of cases with arrests) and that’s a huge reason rapists don’t get any repercussions. But no matter the statistics and facts, people like you would never believe a young girl..
Every offence is “alleged” you muppet
They should add speed bumps along this road.
*18 year old girl.. teenagers being raped by grown adults need to be taken more seriously..
