Woman who falsely claimed rape by 3 men - jailed for 2 years

Everyone knows rape happens, but how can you print a story if it could lead to the victim being identified? For false claims, the victims have already been identified because rape accused don't have anonymity, so a story can be run shaming the criminals.

Which would be a relevant comment if I was condemning the report of the incident, rather than the incident itself. Seems a little like you're looking for an argument that's not there.

No, only 7% of people accused of rape get sent to prison.

the 7% sent are mostly the 'drag women down alley' kinda stuff where there is outstanding evidence including dna.

Only 7% are successful because often it is just word for word, or there is lack of evidence etc.


Considering only 10% of rapes are reported i think these figures are way too low and pretty ****ing disgusting

There may be a fair few lying women but there are obviously far more actual rape victims and obviously far too many rapists walking around free.

How do you know only 7% of rapists are convicted? How do you know that someone who isn't convicted of rape did actually commit rape?

If they aren't convicted of rape, how do you know they're guilty of rape?



Are you referring to this: "The National Violence Against Women
Survey (7) estimated that 37% of reported rapes of adult
women were prosecuted."

Is that not reported rapes? The woman this thread is about reported rape... You are essentially saying that whenever someone is accused of rape, they are therefore a rapist. That is quite clearly not the case.

Are you seriously saying someone should be sent to prison based on someone's (biased) testimony alone (and have their own biased testimony in their favour, of course), or if there is a lack of evidence?

Edit: this to your post below too.

lol no not at all.
But there are problems such women (and men presumably) pulling out of court cases b/c they feel like they wont be believed.
Also not going to court in the first place b/c they cant deal with the emotional side of it and cant face seeing their attacker etc.
Stuff like this lets rapists just walk free.

Lots of things to influence it.
I would be interested to see how many women they have found that lied. Obviously it is a large problem but i stilll doubt its higher than the amount of people raped.

lol so you are saying that 83% of people are lying? I think not

And what about the 90% of rapes that dont even get reported?

Someone being accused of rape does not make them a rapist. You are deliberately inventing statistics. You are working under the principle of assuming someone is guilty simply because they've been accused; that is a very unfair way of thinking.

the 7% sent are mostly the 'drag women down alley' kinda stuff where there is outstanding evidence including dna.

Only 7% are successful because often it is just word for word, or there is lack of evidence etc.

How do you get that 17 out of 18 figure? Is it convictions out of reported rapes?

Yeah, it was in an article that I read. I probably could find it if I had to, but it's somewhere on the internet.

You said 17 out of 18 rapists don't face any punishment. If it is out of reported rapes then why are you assuming they are guilty? Even if it is out of cases that make it to court, again you are assuming they're guilty. Why are you assuming that people are guilty of rape if they haven't been convicted?

I knew someone who falsely accused a guy of rape. It went all the way to court and he was found not guilty because of the ridiculous number of times her story changed. Weirdly even though the Police had about 3 different versions of events from her and evidence that she was adding more lies to the whole thing the Police still pressed forward to convict him. The poor guy had to put up with 6 months of hell. He had his name splashed across the local papers when the accusation was first made and through the trial which pretty much ruined his life.

Funnily enough I cut contact with the person who made the accusation! She had the nerve to ask why and STILL acts as if she really was raped. People like the her and the woman in the article can ruin someone's life and so there should be much harsher punishments for them. They also make it worse for real victims of rape as they take away Police and support resources that are needed by the real victims.
