Not just here but on other boards and websites it is said that Clyde raped Jordan when she was 15 years old. I don't have a side or opinion on whether he did or not but am intrigued with the debate aspect of it pertaining to facts and the blurred ambiguity of the scenes.
I am not pointing out or to any particular posters or people but in a debate those that assert something first is where the burden (maybe not the right word to use with its negative implications) of proof falls.
When has it been established that Clyde is a rapist or raped Jordan? The episodes and scripts/transcripts on Nov 7th & 10th, 2014 then this past Friday may have implications but there has not been a clear cut assertion that he did. Most often in soaps we hear "You raped me" or " *insert name* raped me" but in this story all we get is "what happened", "mistake", "I was wrong" and other vague things like Jordan saying "It was rape" not "you raped me".
Being a soap thete are many possibilities since it has not been outright stated. I believe it may be on purpose in order to keep Clyde "gray" and leave other possibilities open. He could have pimped her out like Trent/Melanie. He could have allowed Jeremiah to rape her (she was frightened when she saw Jeremiah first) or Clyde could have raped her. There is also Clyde questioning Jordan's memory which could be a manipulation or the truth.
So where is it or has it been shown as fact, not speculation, that Jordan was raped by Clyde? What are your thoughts about it?
