Bachelor In Paradise - Season 4 - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Unfortunately, the alleged Corrine/DeMario situation happens every day at colleges across the country.
Girl and guy get drunk. There is no blatant “yes” for sexual contact, and no blatant “no” indicating either party wishes to stop. They have sexual contact. Once inebriation wears off, one party realizes things went further than they would have liked (for many different reasons: they found out the other was a scumbag, they have a BF/GF already, they simply regret it, etc). Charges for sexual assault are filed.
Many times it’s a simple he said, she said. Unfortunately in the court of public opinion, once a person is thought of as a rapist, it sticks and destroys their life.
Far too often men get permanently labeled as sex offenders, when in reality the woman simply later regretted letting it go that far.
Don’t get me wrong, sexual assault is a horrible, awful crime and men/women who force sexual contact with others are the scum of the earth. But situations like what has been described for Corrine/DeMario is not sexual assault. As much of a scumbag DeMario might be (going on Bachelorette with a GF back home), I hope he doesn’t get stuck with the label of a rapist.

Do you think that characterizes what happened in this situation?

They don't usually ask that after a hookup

I wondered about that as well. And I also wonder what was the time frame of "after the fact" 10 minutes after, 24 hours after?

I think this is a really awful generalizing comment. How often do college girls, who are in fact too drunk to give consent, get sexually assaulted. This is the attitude the girls have to deal with, and if they report the assault, they get so much hate and harassment thrown their way. Jmo

I want to say you, not in the personal you sense but in the general you sense, don't even know what thread to pull apart first.
Each person involved, the male person, the female person, the handler, who is an assistant production person and friend by relation to the female person, and then other cast people and production people, all play their own separate roles. So where do you begin.
My gut tells me this will all be resolved off the record, out of court and sealed and we will never have another season of BIP. Something totally different will come back next year.

ETA the wedding is supposed to be on saturday the 17th actually
