Well what happened to innocent until proven guilty? How do you know that the girl didn't make this up to get back at the cop for some reason? If this happened on the 15th, why did she wait until the day before Thanksgiving to say something? Just because someone is accused DOES NOT MAKE THEM GUILTY!! The cop pleaded not guilty...let's see it play out in court first shall we?
Since you seem to know and have an opinion about everything "Anonymous" here are some things you might want to think about...
*Just because a person does not report a crime the day it happens does not mean the crime did not occur.
*maybe the victim found out that she was not the only person this happpened to. Maybe that gave her the strength to do the right thing.
*Maybe she waited because she was friends with his girlfriend and did not want to cause her any pain.
*Maybe she was scared.
You may find this hard to believe but until something like this has happened to you, you will never know how you will react to the situation. So until you have walked in those shoes I think its best that you not judge.
