Law & Order SVU ended last night without giving a verdict. You were supposed to log onto NBC.com and vote as to whether you thought the professor (played by Billy Campbell) was guilty or not guilty... or not enough evidence.
I thought the female character's personality was a little strange at first, but by the end of the show I felt (1) why would she put herself through this if she wasn't raped and (2) he was much bigger than her and could have stopped anytime. She seemed much too traumatized for it to have just been rough sex that "she" initiated. Therefore, I think he is guilty.
For those of you who didn't watch the show it was a take-off on the Kobe Bryant rape case... a he said, she said.

As for your question, it really made me wonder about how cases like this really go down. I don't know if there was sufficient evidence to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that he was guilty, but then there wasn't enough to prove that he was innocent, either. I'm sure going through something like this would be horrible, and like you said, I wonder why the girl character would go through that if she made it all up.
On a tangent - when I was in high school, I was part of a program where a select few of us got to see the inner workings of the county infrastructure - including the courts. The case we ended up watching was a drug possession case where you got a really good sense the guy was guilty, but the police and prosecution screwed it up to the point where everybody in the group agreed we had to say nothing had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If you have to watch too many of those cases, I don't want to think of the frustration you'd have to deal with.

What???!!! :shock: I missed it.
"I'm not into rough sex, but she wanted it rough and if I didn't do it rough, she would bite or scratch me, so I gave her what she wanted."
Sorry, don't buy it. If you don't want to engage in rough sex, you don't choke the hell out of somebody. If you don't want to have rough sex and somebody bites you that damn hard, you stop.

I saw the movie. I think the student in Law & Order possibly wanted to have a relationship with the professor but not the way he wanted it. The student in the movie was just out to set the professor up. BTW, this movie (The Life of David Gale) was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I can't believe it didn't do any better at the box office or in reviews than it did. I have recommended it to everyone to watch.
That's exactly what I was thinking about that episode.
