your all sad, why defend a rapist? And it was not neighbors who helped it was five guys who were driving by. God not even the news can get s&%t right, the neighbors stood there and yelled at the guys who were helping, telling them not to fight in the road. Great Neighbors

I have been good friends with the victem for many many years she would never make this up. The number that he did on her is horrific. her whole face was a bruise, both eyes swollen shut, fat lips, cuts and then some. To the people who helped my good friend thank you. I am so greatful you were there. this happened in my old appartment complex and those apartments have thin walls it good to know someone heard her and helped. I can only hope that piece of crap rots in prison and can never hurt another sole.

The rape kit should determine who the liar is in this case. As to the "friend" of Mr. Landingham who said they "know" this man so well...experience has PROVEN that NOBODY REALLY KNOWS what somebody else is truly capable of in this world. I'm so tired of hearing, "I know this person!! they would never do such a thing"!! just to have it ultimately come out that yes, they certainly were capable of it and they are guilty as sin.

Paul Landingham is such a piece of trash! What the hell are these conspiracy theories, it's as clear as day what happened. You conspiracy theorists are just like the jerks who thought that Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom ASKED to be raped and murdered. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom There is no way Paul is getting off the hook on this one, he's going to jail for a long time!

What is wrong with some of you people. Where is your sense of humanity? Right? Wrong? This 300 pound APE beat, strangled and raped this 90 pound girl. People PULLED HIM OFF OF HER while he was stangling, beating and raping her. Of course he is guilty. I hope you are all ashamed of yourselves when you realize the truth as he rots in jail!

Where are the assault charges against the men who beat the crap out of the guy Salem PD!!! What if he is innocent, then will you file charges??? They went way to far in keeping this guy until you all arrived. I guess like normal in Salem look the other way.

Only thing I know for sure is this guy looks like he was rolled by sailors. Did the 22 yr old woman do that to him or the bystanders? Ah well...

I hope that the truth does come out. I hope that the CSI team are able to bring out the irrefutable truth and justice is done. Lets not forget that a man is innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around. The news is portraying this man as already guilty.....if there were other involved parties then I would say that there is still a lot of truth that remains to be seen.

This is why the the hospitals have rape kits; and we use DNA: The truth will come out.

I happen to know Paul landingham and I can tell you first hand that in the decade that I have known this man I have never seen him do anything but come to the rescue of women in distress. There is no way that things went down the way that they are being portrayed and I sure hope that the truth comes out. This man has a wife and 2 daughters that need him very much. Where is the justice in this world. Not everyone is against you Paul, you are loved and the truth will come out. Be strong.

This story is a bit fishy if you ask me. I was told by witnesses that the girl in question had been in a fight with her boyfriend and Mr. Landingham offered to walk her home out of courtesy. I wonder if it wasnt the boyfriend and a group of his friends who werent the bystanders. Maybe Mr. Landingham just got mixed up in the wrong domestic situation and the girl would rather lie about the assault that took place on Mr. Landingham than offer up an eye witness account of the assault on Mr. Landingham that would put her beloved boyfriend behind bars.
