There’s no “but” here. Going to the police would’ve still become a news story and subject to public comment because they’re both public figures. If you think it’s on him in one scenario but on Quinn in another, the only difference is your judgement, not the publicity.

But without police involvement there was no investigation, and no evidence proving or disproving her allegations. That’s my entire point. I don’t know who’s right or wrong in this case, and we probably will never know now.

Well, everyone who knows him&has been on record, including professional colleagues from the past decade, co-creators of Night in the Woods, his former roommates in Vancouver, &his sister all believe the allegations &find them 100% in character. Too bad that means nothing to you.

It doesn’t mean nothing. I just require proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Even if an accusation is in character, it still doesn’t mean it’s true.

The problem is that the “proof” you seem to want here - proof beyond testimony and corroboration of same - mostly doesn’t exist in these cases. There’s no secret video that pops into existence when stuff goes to the police. It’s just people evaluating statements, same as here.

The proof I ask is simple. Can it be proven in a court of law? That is all I’m asking for. Corroboration in this case would not be two people having similar experience with him, but someone without bias witnessing the experience, and preferably more than one.

as a lawyer from one of the few countries with a hard corroboration requirement in criminal law, this is literally the opposite of how it works

So...if a witness testified that she was with a defendant during the time of a crime the fact that she was sexually and emotionally involved with the defendant would not be a factor in assessing the veracity of her statement? I always thought it would, but I could be mistaken.

Do you think marital rape isn’t a thing?

What does that have to do with anything? I’m talking about witness bias in a crime unrelated to the relationship. Say robbery. Not a crime perpetrated against the witness. I’m actually a bit disturbed that that has to be explained.

Dude. This entire conversation is about abuse *within* a relationship.

Yes. But her comment had nothing to do with what I had just said.

It did, actually; the point just went right over your head.
