I don't support any of them, but why would you make an accusation on Twitter a year later instead of going to the police? are we fr?
Assuming honest intentions - Its hard to prove rape/ SA cases legally so the next best thing is warning other potential victims
Assuming dishonest intentions - jealousy over seeing your ex become successful and adored (for the most part, flor dealt with more hate than most even before the accusation)
Im not really sure whether youre arguing that she is honest or dishonest but ill do my best to answer
just because she might not be actively playing vct, she still has a large amount of people who wouldve supported her and wished that she would come back (which would fuel dishonest intentions) and of those people she may enter a relationship with someone else in the scene or even a fan (which would fuel the honest intentions)
She was only off the scene temporarily, she still wouldve gotten offers to play in T1, T2, GC should she ever try to come back

Neither of the 2. I'm saying the dishonest reason you gave has a gap, which doesn't mean there isn't another dishonest reason to accuse her, just saying I don't think it's the one you gave. Because if I wanted to hurt Flor with a false accusation, why not do it 3 months ago when she got picked up to tier 1? Why now?
If we assume those 2 are the only options, the timing of the accusation suggests it has the honest reason
I get what you mean, and fwiw I also think that its the honest reason but wanted to at least show another perspective since we dont really have much evidence.
Maybe they saw all the love flor got on her temporary retirement post, maybe they saw that flor said she is struggling mentally and wanted to pile on the misery etc.
I dont really believe that it is either of those reasons but its important to consider different reasonings, even if we come to the conclusion that those reasonings are unlikely to be true
well if anything doing it after shes off the scene makes it seem less like attention/jealousy then? i mean alot of it takes time and ppl wait years bcos they try to deal with it themselves and not tell police bcos they wont believe them or do anything if you dont have enough evidence to convince them. plus telling the police means you have to relive it all again and again in interviews. its a mess either way if you wait or go straight away.
rape/ SA is notoriously one of the hardest crimes to get a guilty verdict for because of the nature of the law.
in the UK (its similar across the western world) to be indicted on a charge of rape, someone needs to be convicted "beyond a reasonable doubt" which means that 10/12 members of a jury need to believe that someone is guilty of rape for them to be convicted.
Rape in general is very hard to prove because it is difficult to get a portfolio of evidence which shows that someone both did not consent and actively communicated that.
Oftentimes cases of this nature can be thrown out because evidence is too weak to prove that someone is a rapist, or its difficult for victims to pursue charges given the mental distress of reliving a past experience.
twt is the next best thing in this scenario because even if they dont have enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt in a court, twitter is more about moral + social relations rather than legal, where you dont need 83% of people to believe what youre saying to the point of convicting someone of a 5-10 year prison sentence
"rape/ SA is notoriously one of the hardest crimes to get a guilty verdict for because of the nature of the law."
I agree with that, and the reason is "Because it's almost impossible to have proof", so if you have proof --> police
To me "enough evidence" doesnt mean anything and either you have evidence and tribunal and twitter will beleive you (so better go tribunal), or you don't have evidence and then twitter is better because of the 83%, beside really few exception they are no in between
PS : I like the fact you bring out the 83%, nice ref
ideally yeah why wouldnt they, but its just not that simple bcos again youre assuming the police will do something, i get it tho bcos if youve never been wronged by the police personally you would trust them and expect them to do good bcos yk thats their job. but sadly for alot of ppl its just not always the case. theres just alot of stories about corruption and wrong doings that will put ppl off going to the police. theres also a fear of not being believed
And what's even stranger is that the tweet was made by a third party other than the victim, and the same person clarifies that the victim hadn't done anything because she was still gathering evidence.
So if the victim was just gathering evidence, why did the third party post the tweet with none of that evidence?
The screenshots presented in the tweet don't add anything.
