Think about what makes this alleged crime "really bad", and then consider if that might make it difficult for a victim to come forward. There is no statute of limitations for sexual assault in the UK.

Should have? Yes, it would have been better.

Is it reasonable to expect them to do so? Maybe. Probably not pre Me-Too, and especially if they didn't know about each other.

Does it change my interpretation either way? Not really. Contemporaneous records from an independent third party undercut most of my concerns.

Notably, many US states don't have statutes of limitation for rape. Practical reasons can be overcome.

>If it was really bad?

Well, that’s enough of this thread for me.

Unfuckingbelievable.
