This would have turned out far differently if assaulting and raping women was a crime.
“I believe the women who shared their experiences with our investigation team, however legal impediments, including statutes of limitations, preclude criminal prosecution.”
Schneiderman got away with it.
I hope there isn’t a next time.
If you’re famous they’ll let you do anything. And even if they won’t let you it’s OK to do it anyway.
See, this just isn’t a real issue. At least not one that rates actual measures to remedy it:
DENVER (AP) — A growing sex-abuse problem in Olympic sports has led to a steady stream of Congressional hearings and a three-year grant worth $2.2 million.
Yet not a penny of those federal funds can be used to fight the actual problem: investigating or resolving more than 800 open cases, many brought by victims themselves.
That leaves an ever-growing backlog for the U.S. Center for SafeSport, the organization that opened 20 months ago to investigate sex-abuse complaints in Olympic sports.
Shellie Pfohl, the head of the center, says nobody made her aware of the flaw in the funding program until after directions had been delivered about how to apply for the money.
A spokeswoman for Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, who is leading hearings on the sex-abuse problem, says lawmakers are looking for other ways to fund the center.
I'm sure lawmakers will arrive at a solution. Like canceling the program.I don’t know how the woman accusing him are feeling. I hope they are ok with it.
This was refreshing to hear:
“I recognize that District Attorney Singas’ decision not to prosecute does not mean I have done nothing wrong. I accept full responsibility for my conduct in my relationships with my accusers, and for the impact it had on them.”
Headline has Schneiderman spelled wrong.
