To me, her evidence was pivotal to the whole case. It wasn't disputed that he made it clear he found her sexually attractive as a 13yr old, so asking us to believe that he kept those urges under control for another 5yrs before indulging in a full 'relationship', is one reason why I'm more inclined to believe her version than his.


Sexual attraction does not necessarily lead to sexual urge and loss of control. Men see sexually attractive women every day but they do not get uncontrolable urges to indecently assault them! Also I'll guarantee that many men find adolescent girls sexually atractive, but this again does not lead to uncontrolable urges. Most men manage to keep themselves under control and to admit an attractraction for someone in no way suggests that they had urges they could not control! To suggest otherwise is to suggest that most men are predators who would assault females of all ages if they thought they wouldn't get caught!
