The climate out there right now with sexual assaults makes this a no brainer to investigate every acusation. Lynch should not have been allowed to play until he had been cleared. Women are scared to report these crimes, fearing retribution. However, this past year women are claiming assaults that happened many years ago.
Having said that, there are women out there who have lied about being assaulted, for numerous reasons. The Duke lacrosse incident is on the top of my mind.
Lynch has multiple victims. This would tell me that these victims are telling the truth. If that's the case, he should be in prison for a long time.
