He wasn't proven innocent or guilty. So he is neither. The case was dropped, therefore nothing was proved. Maybe he did rape her, maybe he didn't. Though the fact that she went as far as killing herself because of the after effects is a bit drastic if she was just lying and calling it rape.

Some people fail to grasp the law..

Just like most women are presumed whores until proven other wise? Just because something cannot be proven, does not mean it's automatically invalid.

And technically, he is over the age of 18 and had sex with a minor classifying it as statutory rape whether she consented or not. So he is therefore a rapist whether he would have been proven guilty or innocent in the end.

I guess you forgot to grasp that part of the law, huh?
