Completely missing the fact that she offered this info up knowing how it would sound. That actually makes the rest of what she says far more believable. Unless you think she's smart enough to concoct this lie about Alves, to lie to a court and face expensive criminal defense lawyers grilling her on every detail but too dumb to offer information like he had already touched me on the dancefloor and I still followed him.@Rory What isn’t hypothetical is that he placed her hand on his crotch and touched her p***y, and then she willingly followed him into the bathroom.
We do not know what happened next. The Spanish court convicted Alves of rape based on her reaction afterwards and her witness testimony. Nothing more, nothing less.
She is allowed change her mind, of course, but the prosecutor must still prove beyond any reasonable doubt that he did what he is being accused of having done. How do you go about doing that?
What preceded the bathroom visit also adds ambiguity to the case.
They didn't convict solely based on that. The three judges said it had been proven Alves “grabbed hold of the victim, threw her on the ground and prevented her from moving while he penetrated her, despite her saying ‘no’ and insisting she wanted to leave.”
All evidence hasn't been released to the public, that's all you've got to remember.
