On the Bathroom Wall, cubist posted a link to Greta Christina's blog entry in which she discusses the situation.

I know you will eat me alive, but for once, I think she's 100% right.

I agree with her that reporting rape stigmatizes the victim.  That needs to change.

I don't believe she refutes the "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" response (which I haven't actually read anyone use in this case).  While sexual assault is unfortunately common, sexual assault by a particular male is not.

And while I might even give some credibility to her multiple witnesses argument, all of the "witnesses" are anonymous in this case.

PZ screwed up.
