Lawyer of Neymar's accuser says he'll quit the case if the police says the theft of the tablet with the full video of his client and Neymar didn't happen. He has yet to receive any of the proof his client claims to have

Not supporting her but it is odd to say that about her case. I don't know much but all this started when she launched a police complain. She did not go to the media to lie. She made a formal complain. Somehow the media picked it up. That is not her responsibility. Whether she is lying or not, she did it properly. It is now for the court to decide what the truth is. But somehow, this situation pushed you to believe that she should be punished. Even though she did it by the book. I am assuming you are pushing for punishment if she does not win in court. But not every victim wins in court. Neymar is still a multimillionaire with two digits and she is a nobody. It is a corrupt nation. While you may be justified in thinking that in this case, there are consequences for that. You cannot put someone in jail for 30 years because they didn't win a court case. It is not practical because it is already had enough to take a rape case to court, let alone win it.

Extortion in such cases should carry a higher sentence, but it should not be high enough to dissuade the victim from seeking justice. As you grow older, you will understand that this world is not just black and white. And you will have to sacrifice something to get something.

In rape cases, the police always tell you to drop it and your lawyer tells you to go for something that is easier to convict. This is a system of a failure in the judicial system. Yet many here read that and actually point to it saying that it is prove that she is lying. This is how fucked up the situation is for victims of rape. They have to go through so much resistance and humiliation just to seek justice. So they do not seek justice at the end. And then everyone wonders why 30 yrs later they finally open up and post it online. If you are not doing anything to make it fairer for victims to report rape crimes, you have no credibility asking for higher sentences for liars. That debate should be left for people who have educated themselves about the topic and are doing something about it
