So unless new proof shows up from somewhere, this most likely isn't the case. It could be that RBR was keeping some proof away from the court case, which could be illegal, but that they now display it. Personally, I am a bit careful with the accusations, since it wouldn't be the first time that somebody lied to get somebody else convicted for something. Women are always believed in cases like this, even when they lie about them abusing their male partner or whatever. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago Or that first set was the tip of the iceberg and they're getting ahead of it?
