i got a question for justin fairfax-

[mopinko]

if the encounter was consensual, why didnt you pursue her after that?
you say you kept in touch, she says she never talked to you again.

i'm going to make an assumption that if you had followed up on starting a relationship, she would have included that in her statement. and so would you.
so, you never called her? you never checked in w her? never tried to follow up?

you know what i call that?
consciousness of guilt.

1. He said they did stay in touch she said they didn't.

2. I call that a

One-night stand.

3. Ever hear of a one-night stand?

I think plenty of women would be surprised to know that a man not pursuing them after having sex with them was proof that the encounter wasn't consensual.

And no, engaging in a one-night stand that goes nowhere is NOT consciousness of guilt by any stretch of the imagination.

4. I'd be one of those

women. Not all sexual encounters require more contact after that night. Some folks handle it well others don't.

One things that bothers me about the woman's claim is that she worked with sexual assault victims and she still didn't think it was assault until she found out he was running for office.

I know of a couple cases where a guy was accused of rape after he didn't propose to the woman when she expected it. And I know of vindictive people who will accuse people of things they didn't do, happens every day.

Yes, I'm a survivor of sexual assault, and yes, I was marginalized and ridiculed for tying to "ruin a good man's life" "..think of his children and family!"

This case is being set up to be tried in the court of public opinion for political purposes, a ratfucking, and I know well enough that that is what this is.
