Frank D'Angelo beats the rap.

Got away with banging his friend's 20yr old daughter.
Fuck... does this mean we're going to start seeing his pathetic annoying commercials again??

Even the judge said he probably did it but not enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. Slimeball.

Nope. He apparently owed Barry Sherman over a $100 million. And that's why Sherman's son is running the operation.

She waited in the room for him to shower after they had sex, if she wasn't willing she could have bolted, but she didn't.

 

[Kang]

Hearing the woman's story gave me reasonable doubt as well. The fact that she told her two friends she was raped, and then went out with them that night to see "Knocked-Up" that is off-putting.

He 'Cheeta' all the time.

Just a money grab by the chick.

I betcha D'Angelo believes in karma now!

 

[mmmburritos]

Oh yeah, he did it alright, the two met at a room at Holiday Inn for a job interview for her?. Come on!, she knew what was going to happen, she's not entirely blameless!

Are you for real? I can't believe that anyone would ever really believe what you just wrote.

Firstly, they met in the restaurant at the hotel. Second, last time I checked if the lady says stop or no, then you stop. She may have gone up to his room with the intention of going through with it, or maybe she was just really naive. Either way, rape is never the victim's fault.

The comments of his lawyer says it all IMHO, the guy got away with it. He should count his lucky stars.

Where does it say that his Lawyer said he got away with it?

Also why did the girl hang around after when he was in the shower and then walk with him to the parking lot?

Think she said she was afraid he would beat her up if she didn't wait for him to shower and walk with him to the parking where she kissed him. (Presumably if she left when he was in the shower, he would hunt her down and then beat her up.) This is where the judge had reasonable doubts.

Yes.. some girls do make up things.. but unless you've been there you have no idea what weird reactions happen afterwards.. esp when it's someone you had trust with.. this is how family and family friends/people in authority manipulate girls/young boys.

My first sexual experience was definitely manipulated and I had no frickin' clue how to react. I lied about it and hid it.. feeling raped even though I had only been fondled.. but still it was under duress/manipulated and it was still my first time.

The guy apologized but even so I was messed up for days and depressed about it. Those close to me knew something was wrong but I wouldn't talk about it at first.

Same thing happened when a family member tried to commit suicide and ended up in the hospital.. I wouldn't tell anyone and acted very strangely.

Do not judge a girl by what she does afterwards as clear evidence that nothing happened. You weren't there... PERIOD. shock is a very strange thing.. I'm sure everyone has had that experience where you try to act as though absolutely everything in your life is as normal as possible so that it seems as though it never happened. What I'm saying is.. that ''acting normal'' proves absolutely nothing.

 

[Rockslinger]

Both times I would have been in deep shit had they decided to actually make the false accusation as they were both sympathetic, cute and very manipulative complainants.

If they were actual employees they could have taken you to the "Human Rights Commission" where they always find in favour of the woman especially if you are male and white.

 

[train]

From what was in the papers, and that is by no means conclusive, the correct verdict was rendered in this case. He was a perv but I believe he was innocent of rape.

 

[CapitalGuy]

Lots of people with no factual information about the event are convicting or absolving either of the parties parties, based on their own personal experiences, prejudices, and biases. Only 2 people know what really happened. The judge who heard the balance of tesitmony from both parties, acquitted. That's the extent of it, as far as we are concerned. The truth is between the two of them. Legally, he's innocent.

 

[Rockslinger]

But until you've been on the other side of a false accusation...

Yup, just ask the Duke lacross players.

 

[Carrie Moon]

Agreed 100% Carrie.

But until you've been on the other side of a false accusation...

uh.. yes.. I have.. not rape mind you

NO.. for sure though I wouldn't want to have been in your shoes.. but saying the girl acting normal is enough to believe it didn't happen was all I was pointing out.

Note: I didn't say he did it either. I just think it amazing how many people have such certainty when they weren't there and weren't at the trial. yeesh!

 

[traveler196]

uhhhhhhh. have any of you guys that are 40 or 50 seen an escort that is/was 21 or under. I thought so!!! You bunch of despicable perverts!!!!!

I agree that no means no; but as one poster said going along with everything, and even encouraging it, till 1 second before the guy blows and then saying no and expecting him to stop is like jumping out in front of a subway that is racing into the station 10 ft in front of you and expecting it can stop and not hurt you. Let's use some common sense lawmakers.

When dealing with an authority figure; that's a whole different story. The subway operator should know you can't drive the subway car on that part of the track that goes through an open cattle pasture at 100 miles an hour and nothing happen

Oh! By the way. I guess I'm a despicable pervert too!!!

Anyway. That's how I feel

Probably not, but there should be. How fair is it that the guy, now deemed not guilty, has had his reputation destroyed, his family embarassed etc. A simple review of the posts on this thread shows that people who've never met him believe he is a guilty slimeball. Yet the lady, now proved a false accuser, is anonymous. She actually won her victory the day his name first appeared in the paper as being accused. Yet she remains anonymous.

The argument, presumably, is that fewer victims of rape would come forward if they feared being outed. However the accused is outed immediately, and his life (as he knows it) is likely over once the mere accusation comes out. At the very least, everyone knows who he's slept with. Big problems if he's married (and no, it is not the law's role to out adulterers). Is a sound argument to defend the women, but why does the accused have to pay before he's convicted? I really don't know. To me there should be mutual anonymity until conviction (?) Can D'Angelo now pursue charges of false accusation against her? Likely not.

And no, I don't hate women. Just expressing an opionion.

Really really good point!! Innocent until proven guilty is hard to maintain once in the public eye. If he is innocent (or even if he is guilty) what business is it of any of ours??
