In this one, apparently there is no dispute that they had sex, only whether or not it was consensual. A big deal has been made about the fact that she had bruising which some vaxxpeddler said was 'le worst bruising I ever seent' and also the fact that she reportedly had to have a tampon removed with forceps.
At the same time, the jury somehow accepted that the guy who fucked her just after McGregor did so consensually.
They also did not award any punitive or aggravated damages against McGregor.
“Aggravated damages or compensatory damages are for conduct which shocks the plaintiff,” the judge said. “Exemplary [or punitive] damages are damages for conduct which shocks the jury. That’s what you’re doing there.”
These were not awarded. The jury were so shocked and sickened they decided to make no example of this rich man at all. It sounds like a tepid, middling, contradictory verdict from a panel of cowards (8 women and 4 men, if I recall).
Oh, also the judge told the jury not to engage in 'victim-blaming' just before they went off to deliberations, queering the pitch still further.
