Crosspost "Unsubstantiated claims of DV/Sexual assault, etc. should be treated as such: unsubstantiated." from /r/unpopularopinion:

Don't misunderstand, I know domestic violence and sexual assault, especially against women, happens often and much of it is not reported or not prosecuted.

That's not what I am talking about.

I am talking about simply saying "I was beat" or "I was raped" and that being enough to condemn a person, with no other validation.

I've been on the wrong side of this exactly 3 times in my 45 years on this planet. There wasn't anything fair or just about any of it.
