I believe that women must report rape promptly (with the exception of children for obvious reasons). I have never heard of this woman before, but she most certainly sounds credible; however, there have been many instances of women wrongly accusing men of sexual deviation or rape when the men are in fact innocent, especially when a woman wants to ruin a man's career for some reason, usually politics. I believe there should be a statute of limitations for reporting rape or sexual misconduct. A very short statute of limitations. One month. No report, then no-go later. That is plenty of time for women who have been so vilely abused. It would eliminate wrongful accusations and the sordid tactic of women coming out of the woodwork decades later, with no concrete evidence, attempting to stop political careers with these accusations. I also believe that if a woman goes back for more, then her case goes down the ladder in credibility.
This woman, Charlotte Lewis, seems to have gone through sheer hell. I have always been aghast at the blind eye of Hollywood and its hypocritical starlets/actresses towards Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein. Video of Meryl Streep's loud standing ovation for Roman Polanski when he was publicly under indictment. Bill Cosby's main accuser, an adult woman, who went back for more. Oprah Winfrey, who was the one woman in a position to publicly out Harvey Weinstein, cosying up to him for years (with photographic evidence). She did not need him. She had the independence, money, connections and public reach to bring his situation to the front. Yet she did nothing, then become a pro-active Me-Too member.
