It is a horrible situation for all, but as a man living in a largely homophobic society that largely expects that men do not have 'feelings' on the same level as women, it can be a uniquely challenging thing to face the judgment that will circle you as a 'man' who has been a 'victim', particularly of another man, but as a victim of a woman as well.

All those Catholic alter boys to wit, among so many others.

What is a typical career path to 'stunt driver'? It seems like a phenomenally fun job (if you like that sort of thing), but how do you get into the industry?

Given all the #metoo stories in Hollywood, I assume it's only the actual stars giving blowies for career opportunities, or is it?

How is the pay compared to other film-related occupations, like 'camera operator', etc? I know some camera operators are paid quite well, but I would think stunts would pay even more? Or perhaps there is a lot of competition for the position, especially as things continue to become 'safer'?

I would imagine anyone making a false claim probably wouldn’t come to you for support for something that didn’t happen, either.

Keep up the good work and thanks for your reply.

How do you control for fraudulent claims?

Sexual assault is an absolutely horrific crime, and it is probably an understatement to say that it is the most horrific form of "bullying" a person can experience, and it must always be taken seriously. However, while there are far more unreported cases and legitimate reported cases than fraudulent claims, those fraudulent claims can also absolutely ruin people's lives. In a situation where actual evidence can so commonly be lacking in the first place, I'm curious what tools you use to analyze whether a person is being honest with their claims?

(I used to work in fraud detection with financial managers at one point, and for my purposes the propensity and potential for fraud wouldn't necessarily be evident via financial analyses, but other factors.)
