    You also wouldn’t be able to post about an actual rape case from 13 years ago and get 600+ upvotes. People aren’t interested in that.

      Well, that’s because actual crimes aren’t generally interesting or have any catharsis/schdenfreude behind it. An actual analog would be someone who, after 6 years of appeals, finally gets their rapist convicted. Which I imagine would be as interesting to the random viewer.
