He should be in jail.

These types of lawsuits are nothing but blood money and revenge.

Really?

Woman gets raped. Two things go through her mind. Justice and revenge.

She couldn't get justice because Ben is rich as hell and has good lawyers.

So she got revenge.

Not that it matters to him.

From the article she asked for 400k which is about what he makes in 2-3 games.

see.. if he did it, then he should be in jail. if he didn't, then this shouldn't have even come up at all. rape is a criminal offense, and belongs in criminal court. it should not be handled in civil court.

I do agree with this as well

if he did rape her, then he should be in jail.. no matter who he is

and if he is convicted in court of it, then I have no problem with the civil part of it after

It ends up in both to address different charges and accusations. Civil court has a lower burden of proof. There was not enough evidence to convict him of committing a crime but there was enough to show damages...

He should have sued her.

He wasn't convicted of rape, meaning that in the eyes of the law he is innocent, but his public image is forever damaged.
