Oh my, I'm going to post this as nicely as I can. Please, people, don't post in a thread unless you have read the entire thread.
Sueleen, don't waste your time looking for an LA Times article. I would be amazed if any aspects of the investigation were leaked to the media this soon. People who do their job as professionally as possible don't operate like that, especially in sex cases involving juveniles. I doubt more details will be available until the first court appearence in NYC, and even then those details will be meager.
Call me crazy, but I suspect they have more than just the girl's words. Do you think the prosecution would go forward with a case without some type of additional evidence? I don't. Will it be difficult to prove? Possibly, but I wouldn't discount the existence of a blue dress, medical records, Myspace/computer entries, or ability to describe physical specifics.
I'm not passing any judgements but I certainly don't think anyone can proclaim that he'll be fine. Regardless the outcome there's a stigma that will follow.
Rest in peace, Iflitifloat.
