In this case, it's a shame it didn't go to court. I don't want to defend an actual predator, but generally there are lots of accusations, not one person.
That's not to say that it didn't happen. It absolutely could have and we should give any victim the benefit of the doubt. The court case not proceeding due to a technicality doesn't seem like justice served for anyone nor for society.
It says something, or at least suggests something, that the charges were dropped because she didn't continue to file the proper forms on time. And then not only the sexual assault accusations, but the accusations that his sister helped in creating a "hostile work environment"? Stinks to high heaven of revenge accusations.
Any competent attorney would have made sure that that paperwork was filed on time, and she should have no problem getting a competent attorney with such a financially lucrative target.
And then of course there are the long running rumors that Diesel is gay, and just hasn't come out because that doesn't play well for an action star...
I'd never thought about the attorney working for free on the basis of the win. However, if she was a victim of a sexual assault, it could also be self sabotage as she psychologically is finding it hard to deal with or wants to avoid reliving it.
So, I'd still tend to believe her unless we have evidence otherwise or a jury of her peers says otherwise.
