Yesterday @Chicity made a thread nominating me for, "Village Idiot of the Week".
Apparently he thinks a girl should be able to have sex with a man and then sue him for rape. I explained how the law works; If the rapist is found guilty in criminal court, he goes to prison, but the victim can't sue the rapist for, "rape" nor "sexual assault". There's no such civil law on the books. Then I explained the reasoning behind the law; If you could sue a person for rape, the courts would be filled with gold diggers falsely accusing rich men for rape.
Quite frankly I am offended by @Chicity's floccinaucinihilipilification of my knowledge of the criminal justice system.
I'd like for @Chicity to provide an explanation, or a retort to explain why he called me an, "idiot" for clarifying a law that he knows nothing about.
I'm not sure if @Chicity knows how to use a search engine so I've provided a few links to help him out. Here's 10 links that discuss rape, sexual assault, and how civil suits work in such instances;
