Accused Rapist Released Because Of DNA
This can be seen as a positive note. A man who was an accused Rapist was Released Because Of DNA evidence. Finally, we are getting around to using technology to find the true criminals. Sad though... he had to wait 5 years to be released.
Yes it is always good to see that DNA evidence show whether a person is innocent or guilty. The biggest problem with sex crimes is that even if your innocent the people of the community have already made their minds up that your guilty. I think that five years away is not enough time for people to forget. He will probably have to move to a whole new area so he is not wrongfully punished any more.
True, it also teaches you to be in good standing and in the right places so that you are not falsely accused. In other words, never enter the home of a woman who is alone, do not give drops to women and ensure that there is always someone that is either with you or aware of your transits.
Yes those are some very good thoughts JB. In my line of work I have to be very careful especially if a lady asks for an escort to her vehicle. I am glad we have many cameras.
Even those in good standing in a community can make a mistake and get accused. That is when they really fall. IF a person is hardly known he can slip under the radar and not have to move away if wrongfully accused since few people know who he really is.
If I have to go into a persons home and it is a single lady I get a clerk to attend with me. I use to do home energy audits and the worst spot I could have been in was a prearranged meet with the man of the house.
I arranged with a man to meet him at 9:00 am at his home to help him understand why his bills were high. I knocked on the door and two young ladies(13 to 15 not sure exact) show up at the door in nothing but tee shirts. Very little was left to imagine so I bolted and told them to tell their father I was here from the Hydro. I left no name and immediately advised my supervisor who escorted me to human resources where we filled out a incident form and notified the local authorities so as to circumvent any possible accusations. I was very glad they took it seriously.
Yes that was a very serious incident nowadays. The fact of it is they probably have no clue of why you left so quickly. IF they are like my kids they probably run around in their own house like that. The difference is my kids hide in their rooms if a strange person knocks on the door. IF it is someone they know they will just open the door and say come in.
I am glad you company took this seriously as it could have led you in a charge that you would not ever want leveled at you. SOme get charged with a sex crime for less than what you just described.
