The Spin
Left narrative
Boric is the victim in this case, which is all too similar to real events that inspired the Netflix series "Baby Reindeer." After sending him unsolicited sexually explicit images and romanticly toned emails, the accuser got frustrated and decided to systematically harass Boric. Evidence will prove his innocence.
Right narrative
It'll be up to the judiciary to determine whether Boric is innocent. However, it's concerning that the far-left Chilean administration only decided to talk about this months-old complaint as the Monsalve scandal escalated. It seems they simply don't care about transparency.
