Talking to a lawyer is not necessarily going to do anything. Private attorneys can refer someone who believes themselves to be a victim to the District Attorney's office in the county where the rape took place. The D.A. would then decide whether or not to bring criminal charges. The same thing with the police, they would conduct an interview and open an investigation if warranted and even arrest an individual if they felt they had probable cause to believe a crime transpired.

But rape can be particularly difficult to prove weeks/months after the fact because there exists little to no evidence, and often times alcohol, or sometimes drugs were involved, and there is sometimes an element of consent. Upon facts like that it doesn't take a good attorney to rip a rape accuser to shreds on cross-examination.

Not reporting the rape to the authorities is sadly common with victims of rape, for various reasons. You hear about the fight/flight response sometimes- particularly in the accusatory "Why didn't you run? "Why didn't you fight him?" vein; but people forget there's a third response- freeze. Some women just freeze up because they don't want to be hurt further, they can't believe what is happening to them, they are shocked that someone they knew & possibly loved would treat them this way. Most rapes are not committed by strangers, but by someone the victim knows, even trusts.

It is possible that James Deen could sue Stoya for defamation (libel is a type of defamation, and there are other types - false light, public disclosure of private facts, others depending upon the jurisdiction); but truth is an absolute defense to a cause of action for defamation.

And talking about how a rape victim will be hosed again is particularly crass.

There's not really anything she can do but to mention it on Twitter, at this point. Even if his career and personal reputation take a hit, that's still a victory, and she doesn't have to be silent anymore.

I get that there's a serious problem with rape being really hard to prosecute because no matter what the guy can just go "uh no that didn't happen" and a lot of the time that's all there is to it because the cops are like "well he said it didn't happen, sorry v:v:v", but are we really at the point where you can just tweet that your ex did something and it's Automatically True for political reasons

Like, arson is also hard to prosecute but if my ex gets a bunch of Internet attention and I tweet that she burned down a house once, people won't get actually really mad at the concept of someone not believing me

not to get too controversial here but maybe people should report rape to police when it happens to them so that a timely investigation can occur??

because if you don't you kind of lose the right to complain about how the system failed you and how nobody cares about your rape. not saying that's what Stoya is doing

You're probably trolling me, in that you appear to be saying we should automatically believe one person because other people will automatically believe the other person, but there is a good point in the post regardless:

These kinds of accusations are like any other kind of accusation that doesn't have any kind of proof behind it in that everyone decides who they think is Probably Right based on their innate biases and also who they liked better before they read the details, and won't really change their mind under any circumstances. Hence some people will accept the tweet as gospel and some will immediately dismiss it. It'd be the same if she said he keyed her car or refused to give her back her favorite blanket after they broke up, but people are paying more attention to it than those hypotheticals because obviously the stakes are way higher.

like this one

"Dear Stoya, I have a very common insecurity regarding my sexual stamina. Do you have any sex advice you would like to dispense via your sex advice column?"

"Instead of answering your question, I'm going to complain at length about how porn is shot. Blah blah blah blah... hm?

Unsurprisingly, porn stars who try to pivot into other fields using their fame end up being terrible at them. Sasha Gray is a terrible actress, Stoya is a terrible writer, James Deen is a terrible rapist

should you report a rape knowing there is virtually no chance of conviction, and a certainty that you will be defamed and ostracized by the people around you, including the people who are supposed to 'serve and protect you' and any semblance of familiarity with your former life will be erased?
