Maybe I shouldn't, but I do.
I don't think that she's telling the truth. I don't like the way that her lawyers have dealt with the case, and I don't like how her lawyers have advised her. She would not have done that 20/20 interview if her lawyers had told her that it was a bad idea.
However, the federal government, and many state governments, have committed and promoted sexual abuse since 2010. Major media, including media that have attacked the Rolling Stone article, have committed and promoted sexual abuse since 2010. Corporations and celebrities have committed and promoted sexual abuse since 2010.
Colleges and universities all over the United States have promoted, and continue to promote, sexual abuse, and have probably also committed sexual abuse. There are probably schools in every state, from preschool to graduate school, where students are being victimized by voyeurism and involuntary pornography. Sexual harassment, stalking, child molestation and the rape of adults are probably happening in those and other schools.
Since 2010, the conglomerate has sought to legalize sexual abuse. Every other goal is secondary, if that, to the conglomerate.
How are school administrators supposed to adjudicate reports of sexual assault when their employers are promoting it, and when more sexual assaults are happening every year because the world's power structure is imploding from corruption?
If Rolling Stone doesn't settle the lawsuit with Ms. Eramo, and she loses, I think that her lawyers might appeal. The case is so public, and even historic, that I think Clare Locke might not accept defeat. Then, Rolling Stone will have two lawsuits to have to deal with for the next 12 months, instead of one.
I know that if the case resolves in any way that is not a total defeat for Ms. Eramo, Phi Kappa Psi will use the verdict as evidence in its $25 million lawsuit against Rolling Stone. There is also the danger that three of Jackie's rapists will decide to appeal the dismissal of their lawsuit if Ms. Eramo is not defeated in court.
I also know that, in the past, it has happened that people have been judged guilty when they said that they were doing what they were told to do by people who were more powerful than they were. Many of them were probably lying when they said that they didn't like what they were told to do.
I don't think that Ms. Eramo liked not being able to help victims of sexual assault whom the constraints from her employer minimized in favor of rapists and the school's reputation. She's not a war criminal, and she is alone.
