Ah, well that does make a lot more sense.
I don't think it's pedantry though. It's the difference between "proven not to be crooks" and "not proven to be crooks". It's of crucial importance.
The piece was too boring and disturbing at the same time for me. I didn't get the "she wanted to have sex with them" part. I did read how unlikely it was for a young girl to approach five men and say that she wanted to have sex with her, which is true enough, but still only circumstantial.
OK, so they're attempted rapists or people who wanted to rape, but they just didn't rape this girl - or weren't proven to have done so?
You aren't going to night club scenes in hive cities where this shit isn't even almost abnormal. A lot of young women in those scenes are absolute fucking slags.
Due Process is a bitch, but that's why we have it.
