I get that sometimes the attacker has bigger lawyers than you and you can't afford to fight your case but in the case where the girl flat out fuckng lies - fuck her. She should have to spend 90 days to 1 year in jail.
There is a recent industry sexual assault that took place 1) in front of a witness and 2) with a fucking video of it and they police declined to press charges as she is a porn star. I feel like a big reason for this is so many girls have been lying.

Where there is smoke, there is usually fire as well... as the old adage would say. No one gets accused of things for no reason, and coercion is just another way of committing the offence. It does not make it any less of an offence, it just means that other means were used (i.e. not of violent nature) and that the victim was either manipulated, plied with drugs and/or alcohol, or simply felt too scared to do anything in that moment.
Just like in Masterson's case, there is a reason why the statute of limitations should not apply if there are multiple victims. It proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he is a serial predator, and he deserves to be where he is.
As far as law enforcement goes, anyone that had to deal with law enforcement knows that they couldn't care less about the evidence. Some do, but those coppers are very rare. Most of them want to climb ranks (just remember the Gilgo case) and couldn't care less about justice.
If it's a "whore" she doesn't matter even if there is solid evidence. Fuck, even if she isn't a "whore", chances are that nothing is going to be done. Point in fact: Andrew Tate.
I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss any type of sexual abuse complaints as poppycock unless there is very solid forensic (physical, digital) evidence going back months, but not if it's just the guy's guy excuse: "She's just jealous I found a better one", or "She's just fucked in the head", etc.
All I am trying to say is that the porn industry is rife with predators, and always has been. Prostitutes were always the easiest targets, and when the porn industry started, adult performers were just as easy, if not even easier targets... Why? Because everyone watches porn and looks down on them, and in a way, it's a bias, whether the police and prosecutors realize it or not, but they are most certainly known to have and show bias towards working women and adult performers.
I mean... at the end of the day, that's just my opinion... but if you remember the song that Aileen Wuornos requested to be played at the end of the documentary, from Natalie Merchant, "Carnival":
"Have I been wrong, have I been wise
To shut my eyes and play along
Hypnotized, paralyzed
By what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they have seen"
Sometimes... all you can do is play along... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get justice.
