<p>Just to be clear, the Seeberg case referenced above (in which the alleged victim committed suicide before any charges could be pressed) did not involve rape, but rather sexual battery.

Not the sort of scenario that generally leads to a conviction, even if the alleged assailant was a football player, and therefore presumed guilty by the media and many observers.</p>
