Okay, but is it morally right to continually pursue someone who says they are innocent and that it didn't happen? There wasn't sufficient evidence to prove anything? I'm not saying the woman did this for money and attention - but what if she did? Otherside of the coin. But you are right, we can't brand him a rapist and we can't say she wasn't raped, the only thing you can say is that the case was dropped and he's not being charged with rape.

Edit - I don't like my argument. I don't want to assume someone made up being raped, but I also don't have any knowledge on what happened. It's a shitty opaque situation and I hope that no one was raped and no one is lying - but I know they can't both be true.
