Gonna play a little defense attorney POV before any of you slam me for being a misogynistic asshole. I’m just going to state what is POSSIBLE not what I think happened.
The 99% accuracy number is discussed more so for the general population where the accuser has little to nothing to gain from a civil suit. That number goes down astronomically when the accused is someone of significant financial/social stature. Exploitation is VERY real in these matters and will be exactly what his lawyers will be quick to pinpoint in this case.
I have seen cases where the accuser plans out a scenario to deny sexual relations at first in hopes the accused just forces it anyways. Essentially the accuser wants sex but plays it off like they don’t in order to play out a scenario of “rape”. The case I have seen this play out in the accuser texted a friend group the plan prior to anything happening.
The other option is of course that they simply had consensual sex and the accuser is saying they didn’t in hopes of just getting hush money. This is public so I’m willingly to bet odds are he has denied a private settlement already
The last option is he genuinely is a scumbag and deserves the shit he’s getting. Which of course hurts because his public persona is the exact opposite.
I can say one thing confidently, and that’s if Mendy and Greenwood got off pretty much clean, given the details in this case so far, nothing is going to happen outside of him getting a negative blast of PR and a potential civil suit settlement. With how fresh this is I’ll be awaiting more details before I make any judgement.
Again, I’m simply laying out my personal opinion on things I’ve seen happen, not what I have predicted did happen.
