In the early 1960's Albert DeSalvo was also known as the Measuring Man. He convinced women to let him in to their apartments claiming to be a talent scout for a modeling agency. He had them disrobe while he measured them... sometimes using a yard stick as he did not have a measuring tape!

And women believed him.

Pentagon discloses data on sexual assault reports on military bases

Quote:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Friday disclosed for the first time base-by-base data on sexual assault reports, showing a higher number of reports at big military installations like Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia as well as overseas hubs like South Korea.

Quote:

Sexual assault in the military, which is defined as anything from groping to rape, is believed to be significantly higher than the number of reports. The Pentagon said it estimates that, in 2016, less than a third of service members who experienced a sexual assault reported it.

That sounds like you're saying that they're not men if they don't confess to every allegation that is made.

While I have no doubt that some of these people are as bad or worse that what is being claimed, determinations of guilt, especially involving the destruction of lives and careers, ought to be based on some kind of hard evidence don't you think?

Proof seems to be lacking in many of these cases and it's all starting to feel a little like the stories of Salem at the end of the 17th century.

Roy Moore had his attorneys shoot off a cease and desist letter to AL.com, the company that owns and runs the newspapers and media outlets in Alabama that have been publishing the stories detailing Moore's history of sleaze. Moore thought he could bully AL.com into cowering away. Bad move. AL.com and their attorneys are not about to roll over and, calling Moore's empty bluff, have fired back a letter of their own rejecting Moore's threats and, basically, telling him to 'bring it':

The publisher of AL.com blasts back at legal threats from Roy Moore --

The Boss Hogg bluster routine may fly with the yokels, but, as a former judge, Moore should have known better; then again, he wasn't very good as a judge. I am now hoping Moore will go full bat guano crazy and actually try to go to trial...

For these and other reasons, we strongly believe that any lawsuit of the type you threaten would be frivolous, and could not be brought in good faith. Should your clients nevertheless decide to pursue this matter further, AL.com will vigorously defend itself, and will employ all available remedies, including a Rule 11 motion if warranted. We are confident that litigation would not only demonstrate that AL.com exercised the utmost diligence and employed high journalistic standards in reporting these stories, but would also reveal other important information about your clients.

I don't think Judge Moore or his attorney's laughed at that reply :o

@ August all I'm saying is that Charlie Rose apologized and seemed sincerely sorry for his actions :yep:
