> [@Lynn\_Bodoni](#): > > A man who date-rapes knows that she doesn’t want it, and doesn’t care if he hurts her. He uses power to get sex, and he doesn’t care if it hurts her, and sometimes he gets off on hurting her. Actually, I’m convinced that many date rapists don’t _know/realize/comprehend_ that she doesn’t want it - too many years of hearing (and often, seeing with their own eyes) that “a woman’s ‘no’ means ‘maybe’, a ‘maybe’ means ‘yes’” (I’ve heard some queens express the same shit with regards to other queens - le sigh!); also, often the victim’s “no” was a “yes with conditions” and they changed their mind when the conditions weren’t met (mind you, conditions such as “assuming that your room doesn’t look like a dumpster” don’t normally get explicited - because it shouldn’t be needed!). ---

I’m gobsmacked over the extent to which many posters have rushed to judgement based on a few lines in a news story. Well, no, I’m not, really. Par for the course, innit?

In 2007, reporter Tristane Banon disclosed that [BEEP . . . BEEP], whom she described as a “chimpanzee in heat” (at 0:09), attempted to rape her at the start of a 2002 interview.

J’ai posé le magnétophone tout de suite pour enregistrer, il a voulu que je lui tienne la main pour répondre, parce qu’il m’a dit « je n’y arriverai pas si vous ne me tenez pas la main », et puis après la main c’est passé au bras, et c’est passé un peu plus loin, donc j’ai tout de suite arrêté… > > Je suis arrivée là-bas, j’avais un col roulé noir, ça fait peut-être triper les mecs un col roulé noir mais faut arrêter, et après surtout c’est que ça s’est très très mal fini, parce qu’on a fini par se battre, donc ça s’est fini très très violemment, puisque je lui ai dit clairement… [intervention d’un invité] non non on s’est battu au sol, pas qu’une paire de baffes, moi j’ai donné des coups de pieds, il a dégrafé mon soutien-gorge, il a essayé d’ouvrir mon jean… Ça a très mal fini, mais moi ce qui m’a marqué… [coupure montage].

> [@Nanoda](#): > > Good theory, but I heard on the radio an hour long ago that he left his cellphone and some other items in the room, which doesn’t really jive. > > My first thought _was_ that there had to be more to it though. I’ve left my celphone in hotel rooms when I left, despite never having raped any of the staff. I’m not sure the celphone really means anything other then he forgot it. Though in the article in the OP, it just says celphone, they don’t mention “other items”. If he left a bunch of other stuff when he left, I agree that seems more like he fled in a hurry. Just seems weird a 62 year-old guy can get dressed from taking his shower, get up and out of a hotel, check out in the lobby (and I assume if he hadn’t checked out, the article would said so, since that seems like better evidence of leaving in a hurry then leaving a celphone) and be out in what according to the cops quoted in the article, was “within moments”. ---

Perhaps the sanctimonious can expalin to me why a rapist doesn’t DESERVE to understand what it means to be raped? I fully understand why any decent person should never facilitate it or not punish the latest rape but deserving it is a different concept. In life we cannot administer true justice because of what that would make us but it strikes me that true justice is still the reception of what we doll out. That doesn’t negate the grace and goodness of mercy in any way but a simple acknowledgement of what one deserves. ---

HE WILL NEVER BE IN PRISON. Do you understand the frustration of someone who is tired of the rich and powerful being able to commit whatever heinous acts they please and get away with it?

What’s funny is that I think that the odds of him being guilty are great, yet I dont agree with the way you characterize what happened. A maid says she was raped, in very short time, the head of the IMF is apprehended, as he was about to fly away (I do find it strange that apparently his plane was just about to fly away, yet he is accused of trying to flee the hotel in a hurry. If he hadnt been fleeing in a hurry, how was he supposed to get on time on a plane that was scheduled to leave pretty early? Was that a private jet? There were other passengers, so it doesnt seem very likely). That’s quick action (though “unfortunately” not quick enough to arrest the guy at the hotel while he was checking out). As for cops not rushing in an arrest based on flimsy evidence and false accusations later easily disproved, yeah, never happened. > [@saoirse](#): > > I don’t know.

Jesus Fuck Christ. This thread is less than a day old and the guy has already been convicted on the grounds that he’s been accused of rape before. Oh, and exonerated, on the grounds that he’s Jewish or that he’s being framed by the NYPD or the French government. Oh, and we already know that he won’t go to prison no matter what because he’s An Important Banker.
