It looks like Tory Bowen's case of loss of free speech in a courtroom (which you don't have, anyway) was rejected by the US Supreme Court. Here is the link.
Here is an article from last year's first of two mistrials.
Here is the article about the second mistrial that was caused in part by her parents and Lawyer's involvement in causing a publicity campaign and then thinking that they could do so with no repercussions.
And her is my take on it. Leave now if you have already decided she is right-you won't like it. (hightlight with cursor below)
She had ample opportunity to say it was not consensual. Stay with me now..."it was not consensual." The mention of the assault kit would be inflammatory-it assumes that an assault occurred. The only purpose of the test was to determine if sex even happened, which was not in dispute. She MADE OUT WITH HIM in the bar on camera and went home with him. They weren't going to play checkers, and her friends' story bore this out in court. Her friends testified that she wasn't acting intoxicated and if they didn't know she was drunk, how would he? She claimed in testimony that she had no memory of the night, yet told a nurse afterward times and events. The one time she remembers having intercourse with him in the morning she says she told him to stop-AND HE DID. She then called someone the next morning on HIS phone, then waited over an hour until HE DROVE her somewhere-either home or not, depending on which day she was talking. Sounds like pretty much any date with a 'happy ending' I've ever heard of or been on, other than somewhere in there she decided she did something dumb, or didn't like the fact that he was of Middle Eastern descent and didn't want her parents to know, or didn't like how he smelled, looked, or maybe he just wasn't that great.The she perjured herself about when she left his apartment. Suddenly she was assaulted. This is the kind crap that gets a free ride for some reason if you are female and decide you didn't like the sex. Many women go home, chalk one up for the home team and learn from the experience-a few, however, do this instead.

Your ignorance, not only of the details of her testimony and the night in question, but also of the concept of rape, is sickening and sad.
Prove it. I live in Lincoln, and am quite familiar with her testimony, and his. Security camera footage doesn't lie and she was down his throat and other things before they even left the bar. Her own friends ditched her because they figured she'd score, and was a 'big girl ' and could take care of herself. After waking up the next morning, staying with him for over an hour, and him giving her a ride HOME, HE is the bad guy here? Please.
