I see right off that the story of Tony and Jack is being interpreted in the way that some folks want to interpreted it in terms of their own predispositions.

Considering what led up to the alleged rape, the way Tony was acting indicated to the closest witnesses (the couple with whom she and Jack were double-dating) that, judging from what was going on in the back seat, she was more than willing to have sex with Jack. They heard Tony say "Yes" when Jack asked her if she wanted to come home with him, and the driver was glad when they pulled up in front of Jack's apartment building because he and his date were afraid they were going to go at it right there in the back seat of the car.

For what it's worth, Jack said that at no time did she indicate, by word or action, that she wanted him to stop. In fact, he said that she was totally and eagerly cooperative.

Also, for however anyone wants to interpret it, Tony did not want to go to the police when several people advised her to. Nor did she ever claim that she actually asked Jack to stop.

And Tony may have been a virgin, but she was anything but naïve.

And—the incident sure didn't slow down her social life any.

Those ARE the facts, folks. Do with them what you will. You will anyway.
