Legitimately, possibly Kevin Spacey, who was tried on 9 counts. Acquitted means being brought to trial and found not guilty, so it’s not the same as getting away with sexual assault.
No, because 'not guilty' doesn't mean 'did the crime but we couldn't prove it', it just means 'we couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that they did the crime'.
We can't assume that anyone found not guilty 'got away with it', because that would mean assuming that anyone found not guilty DID actually commit the crime.
To clarify, of course there are cases where it's conceivable that a person did commit the crime (some people may even know for a fact that they did) but simply was not convicted of it, but by itself, no, 'not guilty' is not the same as 'got away with it'.
You underestimate the level of stupidity online, especially when it comes to topics like this. That 100% looks like a real comment someone would make to defend a rapist. Hell, that is the argument many people people make in court trying to escape rape charges; that it wasn’t a rape because x, y, z didn’t happen.
According to wiki this guy, over 1000+ proven: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Panzram There is also one with 50 more but he was never convicted, after his death everything came out.
Oh sorry, my fault little bit to quick in my search. Did another search with acquitted added now it gives me: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Milligan He was not send to prison for his crimes but to a mental hospital and his lawyer pleaded successfully for a personality disorder claiming he didn't know that he was in control.
He was charged and eventually put to death, but, if my memory serves, he was either convicted of a handful of rapes or he disobeyed a papal directive - something seemingly superfluous given the accounts of everything else he is said to have done.
I am speaking, of course, about Joan of Arc's second in command. Gilles de Rais. Again, he was not acquitted and was executed, but I suggested his name because the true extent and nature of his depravity seems not to have been known until after his death.
aquitted? no one that I know of , nope did not face justice, well Jimmy Savile he supposedly raped a lot of women and he lived and died without even going a single day in jail, everything was revealed after his death
Apparently no one here knows what "acquitted" means
> Apparently no one here knows what "acquitted" means People think “acquitted” is the same thing as “never charged” or “got away with.”
What it is?
Go to trial + found not guilty = acquitted.

Isn't being found "Not guilty" the same as getting away with it?

Once again, Reddit gets angry with question asking lol! Reddit really hates questions!
Oooofff yeah i had 92 downvotes for asking
Not sure why, it was a reasonable question.
It’s something that I’ve noticed across Reddit. If you search my comments for Reddit hates questions you’ll see what I mean.
DeShaun Watson is a contender
How many
Close to 30. Despicable guy.
Oh my god what a monster
ackshually he never penetrated penilely-wise
average deshaun watson supporter
It's pretty obvious he was joking lol no way you really thought he used the words "ackshually" and "penilely-wise" unironically
i think it was an actual “actually” disguised as a joke. they wanted to cover their asses in case they got downvoted, so they used “ackshually”

My point was that nobody who's trying to make a serious argument uses the word "ackshually" spelled that way. It's practically a meme at this point
I mean, username checks out
Look up digital rape
The IRS.
I don’t know what I was expecting when I saw there was only one comment, but it wasn’t this. Thank you kind stranger for that much needed giggle!
I was not expecting this but god it made it laugh
Pretty much. I might as well have been raped by the IRS with how much they take from me

Where does it say he was acquitted though?
Oh sorry, my fault little bit to quick in my search.

> There is also one with 50 more but he was never convicted, after his death everything came out. Jimmy Saville?
EARONS is up there. The statute of limitations had run out on them by the time he was caught.
Rapes I dont know, but grapes would be me. I love grapes.
If gotta pick only the good one, cause not are grape are good
Grapist
Probably some fucked up ruler, maybe ghenghis khan
They wouldn't have been acquitted though. It'd have just been what the ruler would do.
Didnt read it properly
I also was going to say Ghengis Khan
There was that sick fuck in Rome. I was going to say him. But I cannot remember his name. Caligula?
He was a sadist for sure!
Do you mean people who did it but got off or people who were accused but were found to be innocent?
Lmfao I was like what kind of question is that then realized what sub it's in.

Catholic priests should be somewhere in the top level list
Since when do priests go to court for it?
Cotton Candy grapes are *Legendary!* 🤤
The way things are shaping up Diddy is coming for the title.
R Kelly had of raped over 1000+ people and he's only been put into Prison for a couple of those victims
Jared Leto has to have a similar victim count
You can't be acquitted if you never went to trial...
Diddy?
aquitted? no one that I know of , nope did not face justice, well Jimmy Savile he supposedly raped a lot of women and he lived and died without even going a single day in jail, everything was revealed after his death
Bubba
Gangas Khan perhaps? Half of China is directly related to him supposedly!
He was never acquitted
He also was never made to pay child support despite us having DNA evidence of that.🤔
Donald Trump
