Another rape extortionist

William Kennedy Smith is mainly famous for being acquitted in a 1991 televised rape trial. The case did indicate that he and his uncle Sen. Ted Kennedy like to party. Now he is faced with another rape shakedown. Five years ago, Audra Soulias dated him for several months, and she is suing him for $3M because she says that the affair started with a sexual assault!

This stinks. We need a shorter statute of limitations, a legal distinction between criminal rape and boorish behavior, and some penalty for extortionist lawsuits. I would think that the real rape victims would offended that these allegations are taken seriously.
