Re: OT: Big Ben Accused of Sexual Assault
Yeah, but evidence like that doesn't give you beyond a reasonable doubt. The best you're looking at is probably a plea to something irrelevant. Of course, IANAL, and don't know the details of the case, but I wouldn't want to try and win a sexual assault case against a superstar with that kind of evidence.
It also speaks to how hard it is to prosecute sexual assault, no matter how real the crime.
Supposedly her lawyer represented the Governor's wife in their divorce. So this isn't some ambulance chaser. He's likely a big gun in Nevada. I'm sure he has spent a year compiling evidence to support his case. And once this gets some light, perhaps the DA will ask to review it so they can consider charges as well. It could still happen.
