FWIW heard a settlement is already in the works.

Shocking.

Despite the reports that say the exact opposite?

Heard it from my lawyer buddy a little over a week ago. Not saying it's right but can't imagine she'll say no to a 7 figure check.

Better break out the compass for all those zeros.

I'd be very surprised if there isn't a settlement.  It will happen quietly, suddenly charges are dropped, neither side wishes to talk to the media, etc.   Kobe redux.

Is there a reason, from a legal perspective, that celebrities/athletes choose settlements instead of going to court?

So it never gets talked about again. A lot of those agreements have clauses where the potential prosecutor can't talk about it.

No DNA from Kane found on the victim. I'll admit I thought he did it. Apparently it was a money scam.

Coulda cracked open a new box of Trojans, hey?

That'll  teach him to keep his uniform on

That's not what the report says.  DNA was found on her shoulders, fingernails, etc.  Not from the rape kit.

You're not understanding what a "rape kit" is.

You are correct.  Poorly stated by me....I was wrong.  My mistake.  Let me restate.


No spooge DNA was found in the woman's genital area, underwear.  This could mean Kane didn't ejaculate, it could mean he wore a condom, it could mean he penetrated and did a money shot somewhere else not on her person, it could mean he didn't do anything at all.

The rape kit, however, also found his DNA on other parts of her body...shoulders, fingernails, etc.

Sexual assault can most certainly occur without DNA below the waist.

Yup

Yes, but rape?  No, unless an inanimate object was in play, doubtful there is a legal case.  Even if protection was used, a hair would have been found.  Same with saliva or a digit.  Nothing scientific that he went South of the Border at this point.

So, the case is left to a he said/she said over some back biting foreplay.  There is a legal reason there has been no charges brought.  A civil case where the burden of proof is wider and the accuser would be more open to a witness list about her previous relationships and where her social media footprint is now in play?  Better to settle and move on.  The Blackhawks and NHL know this.

Yeah but nothing official has been said regarding the charges. If this were simply a money grab then I think we would have heard something from the defense side. My guess is that something unpleasant occurred but it wasn't rape.

Probably something along those lines.  And probably something we will never hear a peep about.

Oh, I think that has well begun on the defense side...

This is why so many women don't come forward....or is it that so many are made up? 

I keep hearing stats on the politics board that less than 10% of sexual assault claims are made up.

Even lower than that. It's less than 1%. I should have clarified my earlier post. Kane probably didn't rape the girl but something did probably happen as people before have said.

Man no kidding.  According to the hypotheses in the articles, she made this up because...

**She is known among the Buffalo party circuit
**She has had relationships with two NFL players
**She deleted her Facebook and Instagram accounts before contacting the police

I mean really...
