But more importantly, everyone doesn’t want to flap their gums to the police. The moment this minor speaks up, she’s on public record and will be not treated like a hero, but instead like scum by trolls and haters - online and offline. There’s great shame to sexual assault. I’m sure right now there’s a “Thunder fan” who is boiling over even at the notion of Josh Giddey being accused and would target their hatred and anger at this minor.
It’s so easy to go “WELL I WOULD…” until you realize your daughter, who may or may not have purported herself as a an adult, is now getting treated like a punching bad where strangers are reviewing her looks, her voice, where she lives, what she likes, what she posts…and you just start wondering if it’s better to stay quiet and “let this blow over”
Again though, this could be headed towards a private settlement where Josh is exonerated from anything civil, which may be advantageous to him as even if he didn’t penetrate or fondle her, he doesn’t have to discuss it out loud in a court room civilly.
