Wife who turned detective to clear the man she was divorcing of rape. He served 13 months in jail for a crime he did not commit.

We should really reframe cases like these. It's always "a crime he didn't commit", like there was a bank robbery and they got the wrong guy. The accuser still gets to play the victim because the narrative acknowledges that there was a crime committed.

He was convicted and imprisoned for a crime which never happened. He was exonerated because he didn't rape her but also because no rape occurred.

"Women Against Rape" made use of this in one of their polemics:

In one of the worst cases in the past four years, Trevor Gray, a detective sergeant with Nottinghamshire police, broke into the home of a woman he met on a date and raped her while her young child slept in the house. Gray was jailed for eight years in May for rape, attempted rape and sexual assault.

Now it has been revealed as a falsehood, I look forward to a retraction.

Waiting...
