    Jesus fucking christ, how the fuck does he not go to jail for that? Civil lawsuit isn’t nearly enough for that. Hell, aside from the clear assault that’s getting close to illegal confinement when he dragged her back to his hotel room.

    EDIT: I just read the back-story to this. A) The crime is now past the statute of limitations, so the state can’t prosecute for it. B) The reason why the tape didn’t coming out before now is Sean Combs bought the tape from the hotel to prevent it from getting out. That just feels like obstruction of justice or something. It probably isn’t, though.

          They get away with it if the people they attack are less powerful than they are, yeah. Power is a thing.

          They get away with it because it’s kept private and hidden behind closed doors, they are getting away with it for completely different reasons

      If the victim doesn’t report the crime, or doesn’t cooperate with the police after reporting, the DA most of the time won’t press charges.
