We know literally nothing about this case and people are already skeptical of the victim's claims.
I'm going to post what I said in the mainboard thread, because I think it applies to what is being said here too.
So many people arguing over whether or not the accusations are true or if the girl wants money.
People immediately want to be skeptical and say she's lying.
Others want to immediately jump on her side.
Whether the percentage of false rape accusations is 1% or 100% we need to look at this completely objectively.
If 100% of rape accusations were false, we would still need to take into account that this could be a real one, and the woman was indeed raped. On the flip side, if only 1% of accusations were false, once again, we would need to take into a account that there is a possibility that she is lying.
The point is that either is a possibility. If only 1% of rape accusations are false, that doesn't mean this rape accusation has a 1% chance of being false, that isn't how statistics work. We can't immediately jump to this woman's defense, but we also can't jump to Patrick's. Political correctness seems to suggest that the victim should be believed without question. Instead, we should question both parties without a bias for either; and that means scrutinizing Patrick just as much as we scrutinize this woman. That is how the justice system works.
Take emotion and personal beliefs out of the equation, it has no place when determining facts.
