And this doesn't even go into the number of false rape reports that exist.

Today the overwhelming majority of unreported rapes are rapes of males especially in a prison setting.

Just think if the majority of auto thefts went unreported, we'd probably have a huge surge in the number of people stealing cars, since if the crime is not reported the car thieves wouldn't be concerned with getting caught.
In many places they do go unreported.

WRONG


Today the overwhelming majority of unreported rapes are rapes of females by men who are known to the women.

Rapes of males make up a small percentage of rapes.

I am like some (actually many) others who smell a Rat on this one!
By this logic, every time anyone in power does something illegal or odd we can declare conspiracy.

I think we should hold off on making any conclusions prior to gaining more proof of the incident.

Rapes of males are reported FAR less than rapes of females. And you'd be surprised how many of them there are due to the war on drugs and the overcriminalization of American life.

Rapes of males are reported less than rapes of females. However, rapes of females make up the vast majority of rapes, and females report those rapes less than half the time. So your assertion was WRONG.

If 4 out of 100 rapes are of men, that means that 96 out of 100 rapes are of women. If the men report none of those rapes, and women report 40 of those rapes, that means that of the 100 rapes occurring that are not reported, 56 are of women, 4 are of men. Therefore, the vast majority of unreported rapes are of women, not of men. YOU said the opposite. YOU are wrong.

Hope the LE types look into the "victim" bank accounts and cell records but things were probably cleaned up pretty good, there could be something left uncovered. Sure he had a past, but the money people are making trillions with him like this and their ex-employee taking his place . Good luck all.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. The very nature of the crime is very intimate, often evokes a lot of guilt in the victim, affects future intimate relationships, brings with it a lot of harsh criticism. Recovery should be dealt with privately.

On an internet site nobody's obligated to make sure your all comfortable and cozy with poster's claims. Especially to find sources you like.

Grab your own boot straps, do your own heavy lifting and pursue your own support of your truths. It's the American way.

Enough with the "gimmees". There's too much of that in this country as it is.
