The Morning After

By not going to a hospital to have a rape kit preformed and contacting the police to make a statement she has made it the we will never know whether or not she was date raped. I can almost understand that because she was drunk and scared that no one would believe her. Morgan Shaw-Fox's life is ruined and Caitlyn Bishop is the reason. She and her girlfriends took it upon themselves to set up a bulliten board on facebook makeing statements against this guy that may or may not be false. Now she's worried about being sued??? I just have to say she better either finish college and get a high paying job or marry verrrrrry well. If someone is willing to sue McD's because their coffee was to hot , then you can be sure that soneone is willing to sue over their reputation being torn to shreds.

Not only sue Bishop for libel but the Williamette rag as well

I would sue Bishop for libel in a heartbeat along with all the other ppl who posted such to the the blog. Vigilante lynching in its finest form, posting "privately"...right.

What makes all of you think that this girl is telling the truth? She may have willingly had sex and then regretted it later. Then she may have told a friend about it and had to keep up appearances after the story got out of control. How many men are in jail because a woman lied through her teeth about being raped? More than you can imagine. These men are automatically believed to be guilty before a trial. Their lives and reputations are irretrievably ruined and many spend decades in jail only to be proven innocent. I have three sons. This could happen to anyone's child. What if he was you son or brother or nephew? All a woman has to do is say the word. This situation should have been adjudicated through the court system. The school convicted this young man without a trial. I'm not saying he's innocent. I'm not saying he's guilty either. The bottom line is that no one knows what really happened except the two of them and GOD. If she's lying, I hope she gets thrown under the jail for eternity just like so many other innocent people because it will mean that she had absolutely no regard for another human being's life. And lest ye hang men try to judge me, let me say for the record that I am not a man, I have never been raped, I have never accused anyone of rape, I don't know any rapists, I am not a radical or a rapist sympathizer. I just have common sense. Stop convicting people before you know the facts.

obviously this girl didnt want to have sex AFTERWORDS but it seems to be clear that she initiated the event and enjoyed the event as it began unfolding... im sick of these drunk b*tches who think its oaky to claim rape AFTER THE FACT when they have consensual sex at the tiem

it is completely hypocritcal that when 2 drunk people have sex... only the woman can decide later that it shouldnt have happened and is rape and only the guy can be punished

i have both a daughter and a son, so i have two concerns. but mostly my concern is JUSTICE has not been met here. by not going forward to the police, this woman and ALL the so called do-gooders have deliberately
obfuscated the truth of the matter, that either one person is lying or one is guilty. its up for the courts to determine this. she should have gone to her parents for help, then to the police. i personally would have had to be restrained, most likely. however even i agree this is totally the wrong way, folks. get a grip.

Ladies and Gentleman, we are all adults here. Any of us could be in this guys shoes. We live in a world where the law says that you are not guilty until proven otherwise. This sounds like a common case of an attention loving brat taking the punk way out of an adult situation. Did she really need the entire college/world behind her instead of allowing the evidence to speak for her? A DRUNKEN individual is not coherent enough to think ???Let me put on a condom" or "oh dam I just raped this chic let me get my sperm out of her". I know first hand what rape feels like and I know that you either TELL or DON'T TELL. There is no in between. The letter to the college officials was a cop put. We don't even know if he slept with her. It's her word against his and if he would have done this to her, no one would care. How many times we have jumped on the band wagon for a cause only to find out the driver was taking us down the wrong path. Bush can feed me crap but a chic that was not women enough to handle the situation appropriately gets no respect from me. Let pray that she is telling the truth because if she is not, even if he sues her his name is DESTROYED!

So many of your comments are the reason why so many women are scared to report being raped. It's so sad. Women don't think that officials or the public will believe that it actually happened. You need to wake up and open your eyes and realize that these things DO happen. You all say you doubt that it really happened and what if he's actually innocent? Well maybe he is, but how about letting this thing play out? If it actually happened and he did assault her then he should be punished. And if it turns out that it didn't happened the way that they're telling it, then that will be dealt with.

Umm..They didn't know about the News Feed? To me, that sounds like a complete and total lie. On their own profiles it shows their News Feed.And you can quite simply delete any posts you don't want others to see. And you can also make the group private, where others can not join unless the Admins. of the group allow them in.To me this sounds like a spiteful ex-girlfriend out for blood

Umm..They didn't know facebook publishes a News Feed? More like they didn't care.I am an active member of facebook and if those girls really wanted to keep it a secret, they could have deleted that 'story' from the News Feed. i don't know,but it sounds like a spiteful ex girlfriend to me

I have my doubts that this story is the truth. Meanwhile, there's no way to prove who is innocent and who is guilty. In one way, I can see that the young woman thinks she's been raped. On the other, I can also see that both of them were drinking heavily ( "she said that she instigated" the sexual encounter), things got out of hand and she decided not to go through with it. Whom do we believe? And who had the right to post this crap on Facebook? It went out to literally millions of people. What if it's not true??? Are these people ready to assume responsibility for ruining lives? There isn't enough money in the world to "settle" this lawsuit, guys.

And this from a law school, yes, that is what Lewis and Clark is known for. These women should be ashamed of themselves!

Who is to actually say that this guy did anything? Is there any proof that the incident happened? He may be COMPLETELY innocent and no one would care because it is always about the "girl." I am sorry but the truth is some women like the attention they get if they accuse another of doing something. Also they can be the meanest most horrible human beings on the planet. I have a very good friend who was accused of the same exact thing with which he was ENTIRELY innocent and it RUINED his life. The whole town turned against him because this "helpless" female decided that since he didn't want her, she would make him pay. Has anyone here ever seen "Atonement?"

this is a load of crap!!! I am so sick of these girls crying rape in the heat of the moment or should i say at the point of entry. You went there on your own accord and now you wanna holla rape. Both of you engaged in foolish sex and now you want to be absolved of your guilt by crying rape and making him look like a monster.. He is not a rapist and you are not a slut. You were both having foolish sex. Both of you learn from your follish actions and don't do it again!

If the allegations are true, he deserves to have his name run through the mud. I always say, don't do anything that will embarass you if everyone else finds out! And just because you were drunk does not mean you did not know what you were doing.
