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.
