I despise the term "rape survivor". The term "survivor" is reserved for events that could have possibly killed you. There are plane crash survivors, wild animal attack survivors, murder attempt survivors, etc.
Rape is a traumatic physical assault, but unless there was another element to the crime that involved the risk of death, it's not a potentially fatal event and it's inappropriate to use the term survivor to describe people who have been raped.
Which is why they've worked overtime to make prior sexual acts inadmissible in court.
Past behavior is the most reliable predictor of future behavior, and often these things go to trial as little more than he said/she said accusations (which means it's impossible to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt and they never should have gone to trial in the first place, but that's a completely different argument).
"She's done the same exact thing 50 times and never cried rape before" is a powerful statement when you're asking the jury to basically pick who is more credible without any real evidence to support either side. So of course women and the government don't want to let you make that argument.
On the sportsball side of things, firing Tucker with cause would get Michigan State out of having to pay a hefty exit clause in the coach's contract. MSU's football team has gotten pretty bad in the last few years with him.

50$ says there's absolutely stuff in there showing she's a giant whore and he did nothing wrong.

Yeah when I heard about this and took a look at her, I figured she came in there and entrapped him into phone sex for the cause.
"OOPS I GOT HACKED AND THEY WERE LEAKED!"

Reading the article, I don’t think it’s nearly in his favor as some people here think it is, unlike with Bauer.
