'Matlock' Actor David Del Rio Fired Over Alleged Sexual Assault
By Nellie Andreeva
Deadline

The citation for this article was in another thread. I'm starting
another thread so Ian won't criticize me.
I have concerns about this story. The allegation is that the incident
took place on September 26 but wasn't reported till October 2. The
accusation is sexual assault, which isn't necessarily rape depending on
state law, but serious enough to be a felony under various
circumstances. I assume Deadline's source is the actress, who posted on social media after this article.
I want to know why she reported this to the studio that produces Matlock
and not police. I want to know why her studio didn't insist that she put herself on record with police with a victim's statement.
It doesn't alleviate my suspcions that six days later, there is little evidence for police to find beyond interviews. Sperm doesn't survive (if
he had ejaculated on her or in her). Bruises have healed. Her trailer
has been cleaned up so there's no evidence of a struggle.
But most important, when a victim reports a crime, she puts herself on
record that she's made a true statement to the best of her recollection,
and that it's not a false statement for that itself is a felony.
Since she's not protecting her identity and is going through the media,
what gives?

I didn't like the show; I tried three episodes. We can still comment
about whether she's made credible accusations without pressing charges
with a complaint to the police.
What's your opinion?

When she was at ASU, my exrCys daughter was sexually assaulted. It turns out that in Tempe, flashing somebody counts. Some creep in a car across a huge intersection, opened his car door and didnrCOt have any pants on, and that counted as sexually assaulting the entire group of girls standing on the sidewalk.

I don't know. She apparently went to the studio and they decided to
fire the guy. Though did they fire him just to avoid any legal issues
or did they do an investigation and believe her and fire him for
cause? No idea which is the case as there's just not enough info out
there.

I'm going to assume that the studio fired him for cause, as firing
someone with no evidence of wrong-doing opens them up to a lawsuit.
FTR, unlike Adam, I don't think everything needs to be dragged into a >courtroom with g** d*** trial lawyers!! ;p
I'm assuming the studio did due diligence here. The article I read said
they fired him after an investigation, though it was unclear if it was a >same-day investigation or the investigation took several days before >reaching findings.

Which is sad because when people hear of cases like that they tend to
think that all cases are like that. Which ignores the cases where an
actual physical assault occurs. They really should call something like mooning women something other than sexual assault. It may be offensive
but it clearly isn't an assault by any normal definition.

It demeans the experience of women who were actually raped by equating suffering. You get evil results by moviePigging the language.
At the courthouse decades ago, I heard the story of some poor truck
driver who pissed in a ditch on the side of the road who had the
misfortune of being witnessed by a passing lady cop who decided to throw
the book at him. He was charged with public indecency.
You know, when it's an emergency, one has no control over those things.
