Is why so many women do not report domestic violence and rape. No matter how many women come forward or how much documentation was done at the time of the assault.

From what I read he was blackout drunk so probably has very little memory of what happened. Seems he has a history of alcohol abuse.

Sadly we still have a long way to go in regards to believing women and combating violence and abuse
