Litigation as a Remedy for Rape? - August 27th 2015, 05:35 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of rape or abuse, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

Derrick Rose, the NBA star, is being sued at the moment, accused of drugging and then gang-raping a woman in 2013. However, the woman has opted for litigation rather than a criminal conviction.

WHY?
WHY?
WHY?

I commented on a Facebook post about the Bill Cosby case and I said "what's the point of this post other than to create innuendo surrounding a pending case of law?" To this a woman said, "this is not a pending case of law, given the American legal system's restrictions on Rape convictions." What restrictions and why are people suing for criminal issues?

The burden of proof is lower, meaning it would be easier to prove the rape had occurred.
Damages also mean she stands to benefit from direct compensation.
