==== If we stick only to verifiable stuff: ====
* The jury: - Did not believe the prosecution had proven every detail (they acquitted on sodomy and weapons). - Did believe beyond a reasonable doubt that non-consensual sexual touching occurred, and convicted him of first-degree sexual abuse.
* The courts: - Sentenced him on that conviction. - Allowed him out on bail pending appeal, but didn’t vacate or reverse the conviction.
* The accuser: - Has never publicly recanted. - Has continued, decades later, to describe the incident as a sexual assault, including in detailed interviews where she uses her real name.Amazon Music<ref>{{cite web|title=Amazon Music|url=https://music.amazon.com/es-co/podcasts/7097d299-fca4-48bc-a85b-dbce9436241f/episodes/9f7ae6d5-26f6-4e3a-baa3-608e2b242457/vladtv-2pac-rap-accuser-ayanna-jackson-on-meeting-pac-sexual-assault-trial-aftermath-flashback|publisher=Amazon Music|access-date=2025-12-04}}</ref>
* Tupac: - Consistently denied guilt and said he felt targeted/set up. - Also admitted he put her in a dangerous situation by his lifestyle and entourage, but did not say, “She lied and admitted it” or anything of that sort.

What we do not have, anywhere in the public record:
* A recantation from her.
* A judicial finding that she committed perjury.
* An appellate ruling overturning his conviction because she lied.
* Any verified documents showing she was paid off to fabricate the story.

The idea that she “made it all up” is, as far as available evidence goes, fan and Internet speculation, not a documented fact.
