re: Confirmed: Vanderbilt Football Players Under Investigation for Rape (Suspended)

There are absolutely cases where women falsely accuse. And those cases hurt the victims, their families, their friends...and every woman who is sexually assaulted and afraid to come forward because she fears she won't be believed, or is ashamed, or the guy convinces her it's her fault. Only about 10% of sexual assaults in this country get reported. One in four women will be raped, many before age 21, and most by someone they know. Are there four women in your life that you're close to? Mom, grandmothers, sisters, s/o? Think about that. And most never tell. I can promise you, you've interacted with a lot of sexual assault or rape victims.

Immediately doubting the claim because there are instances where people have been falsely accused isn't the answer. Just wait for the investigation to play out.

I will say though, that the fact Vandy has already dismissed the players is very telling.
