.Go ahead. There's her testimony and the dismissal of the case, and a bunch of journalists now rewriting history.

The fact that you think her testimony is the only factor in the case against him shows that you haven’t looked into this incident at all. I can understand why women are so hesitant to come forward in these situations when folk like yourself are so eager to label them liars without a thimble of due diligence.
, but I can accuse them of being racists (any accused black man is always guilty, right? White woman raped by black man? Obviously only her testimony counts. Even when the court dismissed the case). And now would be the perfect time to do it.
I wouldn't mind any of this if he had actually been found guilty. But against all odds he wasn't. But that doesn't stop some of you lot (and the media) acting as if he was.
The vast majority of rapists don’t end up being found guilty. Of reported rapes less than 2% get taken to court. Factor in that supposedly only 4% of reported rape claims are false then it’s fair to assume that there are many rapists walking around without a criminal conviction. If you commit rape you are overwhelmingly likely to not face justice.
If someone weighs up the evidence and comes to the conclusion that he’s innocent then that’s their right and I’m not going to judge them for it. But keeping in mind the statistics I’ve just given, her physical injuries, his police testimony, the fact that he was found to have lied about details of the incident on numerous occasions,
his settlement, his apology that included him saying that he understood why she felt that she hadn’t consented and her testimony, then I think it’s easy to understand why some have come to the verdict that he is a rapist, despite no criminal conviction.
