She Didn’t Act Like a Rape Victim
Last month, three judges on an Army appeals court — two women and a man — overturned a 2017 rape conviction at West Point. They did so on the grounds that they did not believe there was sufficient evidence to show that the sex had not been consensual. One key piece of exculpating evidence, the judges found, was that Cadet Jacob D. Whisenhunt had made no effort to avoid being detected, or even to clean up his sperm from the sleeping bag of the woman who had accused him of raping her — a sign that he thought he had nothing to hide.
