At the end of the day this is all he said/she said. There's no way to prove or disprove anything so it becomes all about optics for both sides.

I wouldn't say that.  Most of these women in the criminal case admitted they were out for cash.   That's not he said/she said.  That's admitting under oath that money was the motivator.

My first thought was "is that real?" I'm not saying it is or isn't. I personally don't want Watson here regardless of that situation but all I can see there is a typed page talking about the case. I have no idea where it comes from or who typed it. For all I know Zod typed it. It really doesn't mean anything unless it's verified as authentic. DRAFT KENNY PICKETT!!!

Looks to be a filing from the defense.

A document by the defense attempting to create doubt. Along with some character assassinations thrown in for good measure.  That is what the defense does.  I don't trust lawyers so this document does little to sway me.

Actual victims, even one, would have been enough evidence to force a criminal trial. 

IMO....More Money Grabbers

This appears to be correct.  Each charge is considered individually.  If any charge met the legal requirements, it can be pursued individually.  The fact that no criminal charges were pursued say a lot.  The fact that it took the grand jury only a day to decide this for all charges says a lot.

I'm not a fan of Watson's moral choices at all.  But there was no evidence that met the legal requirements to suggest he is a criminal.  This is to me the important thing we all should take from this.  He's not a criminal. 

You can still dislike Watson for whatever reason you like.  But I'd remind everyone here to look back on their own life and remember that most of us have made questionable moral choices in the past.  Being rich only exacerbates the situation.  If I was rich at that age, I daresay I'd have made some really stupid moral choices.

I won't cast stones at him for that.  I'll hope that he learns from it.

That's the damnable thing. A defenses job is to do whatever is necessary to get their clients off the hook, including victim character assassination. Making victims look like perpetrators and their client as the victim which makes it so difficult for any victims to come forward. 

They get their clients off by making victims look as bad and unreliable as possible. We're these wholesome girls? Don't know. Probably not. Did he coerce them to do things they didn't want to do? Maybe, but all the defense had to do was make that assertion questionable. 

Were some out for money? Probably, but that doesn't mean that no one was violated or pressured into doing something they didn't want to do.

He made some piss poor decisions in all this. The guy went full moron in trying to get the extra duties from these women instead of seeking another route for gratification. At the very least I hope he learned some lessons on where not to look. He earned the suspicion regarding his character and his actions. 

Real victims of sexual misconduct have a hard enough time coming forward. Poo like this, whether or not the plaintiffs were legit or not, only make it worse.
