In a stunning double standard that everyone saw coming, Terry Crews' case against his female agent was tossed because when he was groped he wasn't restrained and he had clothes on.
https://www.apnews.com/c2fa28b059df433fb320b40383f24318/No-charges-for-agent-accused-of-groping-Terry-Crews The Los Angeles County district attorneys office said Adam Venit, an agent at William Morris Endeavor, twice grabbed Crews by the groin, but because there was no contact with his skin, and no restraint involved, the allegations were not a felony. Note: The DA sent it to the CA who said it was past the statute of limitations for charging it as a misdemeanor instead of a felony but this was not the reason provided by the DA for choosing not to file charges in the first place. http://statelaws.findlaw.com/california-law/california-sexual-assault-laws.html --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

i mean, the majority of the #metoo cases didnt actually result in a prosecutable legal case as i understand it
more about destroying the career of the accused which is kinda fair when there's multiple allegations against the same person --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ... Copied to Clipboard!

s0nicfan posted...Terry Crews' case against his female agent Good catch. You're right I didn't notice that and I should have because his name is even mentioned. Luckily the intent of bringing up the article, that the way we treat men being sexually assaulted is different than the way we treat women, is the same. Do you disagree with the premise? --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz ... Copied to Clipboard!

Seems like legal semantics, which is unfortunately the case in a lot of these kinds of charges (not just ones where men are the victims). I was actually surprised with how restrictive California Law is when it comes to proving groping. The fact that you need to be actively restrained seems like it'd open the doors to all sorts of abuse (assuming that justification is used in all cases brought up). --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

They know damn well if it were a woman grabbed in the crotch multiple times the perp would be in jail for at least a decade. The legal system can be pathetic with its pandering sometimes.

California's Hollywood culture is built to protect predators. it's expanded far beyond California, but Hollywood itself is a whole different culture.

Luckily the intent of bringing up the article, that the way we treat men being sexually assaulted is different than the way we treat women, is the same. Do you disagree with the premise? I disagree with this premise, and I'd argue that myself and people on my "side" have been arguing for criminal justice reform as it pertains to cases of sexual assault for decades. You may have a point about the social shaming and societal reaction, although we'd likely disagree on the cause of that, but this sadly seems like a case of needing more reform in the law, again. There's a long of victims, both women and men, who this has affected for years. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
