LIES LIES LIES! Force is not necessary with consent - how else did the saliva from him get on her neck and down there? She said he got her pants down to her knees and penetrated...the same pants she said were so tight she had to take them off from the ankles. Ever tried to have sex with a female who had very tight pants on that were only down to her knees???? Yeah - what penetration????
