F1 - RAPE - 04/14/01

It's still fascinating to me that Allen has never been "at large" and the supposed "rape" occurred in April of 2001. 8 years people. To my knowledge Allen has never been accused of a similar act. EIGHT YEARS.

Does this make the supposed crime any less heinous if it actually occurred? Of course not but EIGHT YEARS? A conviction for a crime that occurred EIGHT YEARS and 3 months ago that there is no forensic evidence for between two people who both acknowledge consensual relations at other times? Do we not dilute what rape is by saying that what occurred between Elissa Wall and Allen Steed was rape? A rape that was essentially a "repressed memory" for Elissa Wall?

I'm hoping that Allen continues with his unwillingness to "cop a plea" and that the resolution hearing produces nothing of real value unless it is to drop the charges. We don't know what the prosecution is going to offer as a minimum deal. Be aware that Allen could be offered a plea bargain deal of some non sexual kind of assault such as restraining or beating Elissa illegally, if that is indeed possible at this late a date. I don't know how the statutes of limitations figure into such deals. It may not be possible to offer Allen a misdemeanor assault conviction if the time limit for that crime is say, 18 months. If possible to offer such a deal it would afford the prosecution a way to crow that Allen was willing to plead out, when what he was pleading out to was giving her a "wrist burn" or something to that effect. That certainly would grab headlines.

April 14th, 2001 was a Saturday night by the way. They must have been doing their taxes when Allen got "real frustrated" or something to that effect. Someone ought to check though, when Allen filed is taxes in 2001. It might be a defense.
