I agree...we, as victims or parents of victims, take the stories and rarely queston their honesty. We are giving the SO the benefit of the doubt here. And, I agree with the alleged victime remarks....it's disoncerting. There are far less false claims than real claims of sexual abuse so making statements like that underminds the entire premise of our being here and speaking up.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Orolan, you are very right that his story might strike a chord with some people in the Victim's corner and that is because some of them have had the perpetrators of their crimes get off scot free, because, contrary to what is frequently expressed on this board it just isn't that easy to convict a sexual offender based on a he said/she said scenario.  My guess is that there are a lot more guilty sex offenders that get off than innocent men that are convicted.  Well, not just my guess.  It is also the opinion of most police officers, social workers, sex offender therapists, and the public in general.   It seems the opinion of some people here is that if it can't be proved, beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, it didn't happen.  That is just wrong.

I notice you said "alleged" victims.  I take offense at that.  Did I ever accuse you of lying?  Did anyone on the victim's board accuse tryingtosurvive of lying, or ask him what exactly was the nature of the consensual sex that got him in trouble?  I am sure there are people who come here and lie about what they have done or haven't.  We only ever hear one side of the story and even if the person believes they are being truthful what we are hearing is not necessarily the literal truth.  I am well aware that that may apply to victims as well as SO's.  However, it is not for me or you to accuse people who come here of lying unless we have some proof that is true.

TTS is not a victim of a sex-related crime.  If what he said is true he is a victim of libel.  TTS, no offense to you.  I have no reason not to believe you, any more than Orolan has any reason not to believe people who post to the Victim's Board.

Meanwhile, who is responding to SO's on this board who are really struggling?  Take a look.
