Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2310753, member: 1423"] Well, you may be right in some cases, Capt. The system's not perfect. But where we disagree is the level of importance of overcharging relative to the bigger picture. Sexual assault is a big problem. It's epidemic, and it's been especially aggravated at traditional bastions of macho behavior (the military, frats, etc) for decades. It's more understandable in the military because of the training and the whipped up testosterone. The military has started to take it much more seriously and is (somewhat) getting a better handle on it. But in civil society, there are still many perverse social influences fueling the problem ... calling women "bitches" (objectifying them) and gloating over sexual conquests (the mark of someone who's insecure). I worry about this far more than the few innocents who may be overcharged ... they're usually given a significant reduction or even an ACD. The SU kid is very likely a YO. [/QUOTE]
