How in the hell did this serial rapist make it through six FBI background checks?
He had a NICS background check (like with gun background checks) and fingerprints. They interviewed some unspecified people.
Animal House was a movie.
You mean to tell me that none of these supposed "gang rapes" would have been outed??
Get real. No one keeps their mouths shut about stuff like that.
It would have been all over the campus, the restaurants, the bars and anywhere people met up.
Nothing like that could have been kept secret. People blab. They always have and always will.
Also where are the other women that Swetnick says were raped?? She's the only one who came forward 36 years later??
Get real.
Actually...women keep their mouths shut a lot about that kind of stuff.....at least they used to. Now, thanks to movements like #MeToo, fewer and fewer women are keeping silence. That is a good thing....tho I know it threatens men who like to be in control.
These were kids at a college party. They wouldn't keep their mouths shut. Kids never do. They aren't smart enough.
Not to mention the other people who were a the party. They would have told others and those others would have spread the gossip everywhere.
Everyone in every bar, restaurant and pizza parlor would have been talking about this if it actually happened.
That's the reason I think its all a crock of shit.
It was HIGH SCHOOL, not college. In high school, we did go to great lengths to make sure our parents didn't know what we were up to, but I'll tell you what I would have done if anything like that ever happened at a party I was at:
I would have gotten every non-involved girl and hopefully some boys with brains to rush the gang rape room and give them 5 seconds to clear out or someone downstairs posted by the phone was going to call the cops.
And I would have meant it.
I wasn't the person raped it happened to a friend of mine I have known since kindergarten.
I wasn't in the room or the part of the house it was happening but when I found out I went and got friends, we went in that room, got my friend out and all the boys ran. There wasn't a long line of boys but it was a handful. We all knew them.
I know I didn't tell an adult nor did anyone I know tell an adult. For the main reason was we were teenagers. No one would believe us. That is reality now and it was in the 1970s when I was in high school. Plain and simple.
Girls weren't taught back then to speak up. We were taught to be quiet. That the best thing was to stay very far away from boys like that.
The boys who did that were shunned. Not just by my group of friends but by most of the kids in school. At least the ones who knew about it and everyone knew about it.
A high school rumor mill is faster than one at a beauty salon or locker room. However kids are very good with making sure adults don't find out.
