Answer 1

nobody offered me anything when I was raped. I feel bad that she had to learn the hard way about the dangers of the business she is is, and I don't think that you worded your question well, considering the victim charged way less for her body. If they did it, they should be punished. She has a right to a fair trial, and I'm glad she is exercising her rights. It doesn't surprise me that they are trying to buy her off. And most importantly, it doesn't matter what they call you, the racism isn't the worst part, And they call us white girls nasty hateful names when they rape us, too. Be careful about using this poor woman's story to make a point. To her, and others, it's not just a story

Answer 2

Well, to be honest I have watched the case quite thoroughly, and I don't think this has anything to do with what a woman's body is worth. Rape is a reprehensible act no matter what the person getting raped is, and I don't think you can put a price tag on the value of the person who was raped or the damage the act caused (even though we often do).

In this case, though, I think if it is true (and remember this is only an allegation being made by someone and doesn't seem to have been substantiated at this point), Duke University probably believes on review of the evidence they have at hand this woman was not raped and has intentionally set out to damage the University's reputation, probably in an effort to get something out of them, and that it would be easier and less damaging just to go ahead and pay her, let her be happy with that, and get back to business.

To be honest, in this particular case I think Duke University's take, if that's what it is, is probably correct.

Unless the prosecutor has a mountain of secret evidence the public just isn't aware of-- and it has to be awfully secret since he's stonewalling on releasing all his evidence to the defense as he properly should, which suggests either the evidence is not there or he is shielding something from the defense they could use to have the charges summarily dismissed before trial-- there has been no evidence thus far to suggest this woman is telling the truth, and quite a bit to suggest she is intentionally lying (including several credit card receipts and a room full of witnesses who have all sworn that one of the accused spent the entire evening across town from the party this woman was allegedly raped at).

Answer 3

Depends on the body.
