Rape or no Rape NSFW

In this case, saving face.
I can think of a lot of reasons.
Depends on any number of circumstances.
Could be as simple as her being pissed off at the guy for something.

 

But did he understand the conversation?

 

How can how false rape allegations protect a woman's reputation? Rape kits are painful, invasive and humiliating. Law enforcement treats rape victims like criminals and interrogates them good cop/bad cop style. Everyone drags out your entire sexual history. You get mocked, blamed, and threatened by strangers online. It is not easy to accuse someone of rape. It's actually really really harrowing. That's why so many victims don't come forward. I don't buy it.

Did you know you cant add an administrator to your ignore list?

 

How many 16 to 25 year old girls do you believe know that they will be treated this way when reporting a rape?

I suspect that number is very low. It's more likely they feel a sense of shame large enough to keep them from reporting it.

 

Money!

 

Her lack of good judgement is already obvious. Her inability to think things through or consider that actions have consequences does not translate to "she has no reason to lie".
Angry people often do stupid things without thinking about the possible consequences of their actions.
Why would a woman get mad at the father of her children and then kill those innocent children to get revenge on their father?
I can't explain the thinking that goes into something like that, but it's happened many times, and it will happen many more times.
People do fucked-up stuff sometimes. Logic and reason don't necessarily apply.

 

Shame, anger, revenge are common ones. Among many others. You can't possibly be that naïve.

You're assuming that a woman who falsely accuses someone of rape is thinking rationally and is well informed about the ramifications on herself. When your focus is hurting someone as badly as you can, you don't necessarily think about possible backfire.

Have you really not ever read or heard about cases where someone makes a false reputation and later confesses? How sheltered is your life?

 

I was not commenting in the context of this particular case, which I believe is likely a false accusation. Rather, I think the notion that half of all rape accusations are false. I absolutely do not believe that.

 

The statistics just dont support it.

Again, from the wiki:
According to the American Medical Association (1995), sexual violence, and rape in particular, is considered the most under-reported violent crime.[8][9]

The most common reasons given by victims for not reporting rapes are the belief that it is a personal or private matter, and that they fear reprisal from the assailant. A 2007 government report in England says "Estimates from research suggest that between 75 and 95 percent of rape crimes are never reported to the police."[10]

I am going to go with the AMA over the Race Director on this one.

 

It is no longer 1996.

 

Stop pointing out pesky details like those numbers were from almost 20 years ago.

Damn it I'm old.

 

Again from the Wiki

In 1994, Eugene J. Kanin of Purdue University investigated the incidences of false rape allegations made to the police in one small urban community between 1978 and 1987. He states that unlike those in many larger jurisdictions, this police department had the resources to "seriously record and pursue to closure all rape complaints, regardless of their merits." He further states each investigation "always involves a serious offer to polygraph the complainants and the suspects" and "the complainant must admit that no rape had occurred. She is the sole agent who can say that the rape charge is false."
The number of false rape allegations in the studied period was 45; this was 41% of the 109 total complaints filed in this period.[15] The researchers verified, whenever possible, for all of the complainants who recanted their allegations, that their new account of the events matched the accused's version of events.


That's almost 1/2

 

two more good ones...


Getting a payoff in court and also a psycho wife wanting to remove her husband from the house needs but to make a false allegation to the cops and he's booted out of his own home.

 

But I never said that. It's not what I typed at all.

 

Wasn't there just a case in Louisiana or Mississippi recently of a woman who was caught having an affair with the pastor of her church and when confronted with it, she told her husband the pastor raped her, resulting in the husband (who was also a deacon) walking into the church and gunning the pastor down?
