Fair question,
I tried to believe her because when you read the story on the first-pass it seems so unbelievable. So, on the 2nd pass I interpret all the facts in the light most favorable to her. I do this because if I still can’t believe her after all the facts are full-gain in her favor, then the only thing left is that she is lying.
The only thing just as crazy as her story, is the thought that a grown woman would not only make up the fact that she was raped to save her job, but that AFTER THE PLOY WORKED, would then double-down on the lie with a lawsuit.
When my son was 6-ish he got into a little brouhaha at school because he lost a toy and then accused one of his friends of “stealing it”. We had a little talk about being SURE before you make an accusation of that magnitude.
