In any case that is he said/she said, you can never be 100% sure who is telling the truth. The best you can do is line up the stories and try to determine fact from fiction.
It is a double edge sword, if the man is lying and gets away with it, you have a rapist that is roaming free. If the accuser is lying, she has damaged a man’s reputation forever and potentially taken away his freedom.
So, it is a very complicated issue. Cops have determined in Jacob Phillips case because the accuser’s story has changed a few times, he won’t be charged.
TMZ has the details.
The Baton Rouge Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports … there is no probable cause to arrest LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips for rape due to “several inconsistencies” in the accuser’s story. We broke the story … Phillips — a highly recruited linebacker — was investigated for sexual assault following allegations from a female LSU student athlete.
We’ve confirmed cops were called to a Baton Rouge hospital on June 11 to respond to the accuser — who claims she was sexually assaulted by Phillips early that morning. The case was investigated — and at this point, Phillips has neither been arrested or charged with a crime.
Now, Baton Rouge PD Sgt. McKneely has issued a statement on the case … telling TMZ Sports, “Due to several inconsistencies in the victim’s narrative/disclosures and a lack of cooperation concerning evidence and further interview there was no probable cause for arrest found at this time.”
The accuser is blaming the police.
Sadly, we may never know who is telling the truth.
