The new standard in sexual assault.

The new standard in sexual assault cases is now going to be a requirement of a corroborating witness, preferably a third person in the room who was sober enough to recall the attack.

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I don't see any other takeaway.

What a disgrace this country has become.

during the attack)... and she has to remember every detail, exact time, location, identities of everyone in the vicinity (whether a witness to the attack or not)... and she has to NOT BE WEARING SOMETHING REVEALING and should have, at all times, a number of other women with her when going to a private area like a bathroom.

A multi-camera video of the attach with audio is a big plus.
