And you have to remember that there’s a difference between what some random idiot on the street thinks and what someone can actually be prosecuted for.
There are, but remember that defenses come into play after being sued. So you can still go through the mental nightmare (because let’s be real, a rich person isn’t going to be doing CPR, and certainly isn’t going to care about being sued, so only your typical person who could lose everything in this scenario) of being a defendant in a lawsuit until the judge agrees to toss it or you go to court and are found not liable.
The public scrutiny and the mark on your record does not go away even if you’re found not liable. Once you are even accused of anything like this, it’s there forever. People will think you got off on a “technicality”.
If you’re a man facing this, your life is ruined. May as well move away and never come back.
Never said I wouldn’t do the CPR. Only pointing out that in an emergency situation that people are fucking stupid and that a random idiot could easily interfere violently with what they think might be sexual assault

Jesus Christ, do the fucking CPR
It’s not just about being prosecuted, but publicly judged and shamed for.
Surely there are good Samaritan laws even in the US?

I agree do the CPR but my fear would be getting kicked in the head not sued
