RSSOk, so this one is quite puzzling... Why would the GBI withdraw their request for a sample of DNA? Is it because they don't have anything from the accuser to match it with or another reason? Do they have strong enough evidence he did it that they don't need it?
I find it hard to believe that if they have something to match it against that they'd not want a sample. Hair, semen, skin from under her nails - all or any of these things could be matched with Ben's DNA and at the very least make a strong case for the accuser. On the other end, I would find it hard to believe that they wouldn't want additional evidence even if the GBI truly thinks they have a strong enough case that they didn't need it. Hell, if nothing else just to perform their due diligence and wrap up loose ends.
I'm leaning towards the following - that her accusation doesn't have anything to do with the exchange of fluids (i.e. intercourse, fellatio, ejaculation, etc). The umbrella of "sexual assault" is so large and ambiguous it covers everything from rape to improper touching.
My personal opinion? If he did anything at all it was on the end of improper touching and that they won't find enough supporting evidence to bring a criminal suit. That doesn't rule out a civil suit in which you don't need airtight evidence but only a decent probability that the act occurred.
Am I right or wrong? Did he or did he not do it? I don't think anyone will ever truly know as this case is very much looking like it's going down the path of a he-said, she-said...
UPDATE: According to this story I was right with first assumption - there's no evidence with which to compare it. I would bet there are no criminal charges forthcoming
