I find these hit peaces extremely problematic.
The public doesn't have the tools to properly investigate the accusations.
It is impossible for anyone but the parties involved (and maybe not even them) to know what really happened.
This woman could have gone to the police. She could have gone to one of the many support organisations for rape victims here in Berlin or in the US. She could have gone to the police even years later, which would have opened the possiblity of an official investigation. Instead she chooses to publicly write about it, without first even trying to take the legal route.
