Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript draft (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the context and style) dated April 2, 2012. It discusses the complexities of 'he-said, she-said' rape allegations, using the 2011 Dominic Strauss-Kahn case as a primary example to illustrate false reporting and credibility issues. The author describes teaching a law class on the subject, inviting the victim's lawyer to speak, and debating the ethical standards for prosecutors when a victim's credibility is in doubt.
