Okay, I’m really tired of having to say this, but it needs to be said again. Doughty was accused of sexual assault. Prosecutors decided not to follow through with charges because they said the alleged victim’s story was not credible. So please, keep him out of your mouths.https://twitter.com/fozmeadows/status/1013982047491125249 …
The whole point is that rich male athletes are constantly let off the legal hook and excused for bad or criminal behaviour, to the point where a judge saying Doughty’s accuser wasn’t credible means jack shit.

To be clear: I would *like* to believe that Doughty was cleared because he was innocent. But when so many athletes are given a pass because they’re athletes, you can’t trust that their money and job isn’t putting a thumb on the scale, esp when assault is rarely prosecuted anyway.

So presumed guilty until proven innocent, then? I mean that’s essentially what you’re saying. You’re saying Doughty didn’t get charged for raping somebody because he’s rich and famous, and that’s clearly not the case.
