BBC News - Woman who lied about rape asks for 'bygones to be bygones'

"I ruined your life, but let's put that in the past."

Absolutely ridiculous.

Russ_T_Razor · 2012-05-30T20:08:27+00:00

I really don't get why the people which cry rape when there was no rape are let go. I mean if they finger the wrong person but there was in fact rape that's one thing. But if you straight lie and ruin someones life that should put you in jail for a lllooonnnggg time!

Gingor · 2012-05-30T20:42:19+00:00

I really, really hope the school take action to try and claim that money back. The court ought to put her on trial for larceny and lying to the court too.

Unless legal action is taken against this woman justice will never be served.

I don't know what to be angrier at, the woman who did this, the justice system that put away an innocent man, or the complacency that some have towards this situation (not immediately arresting the false accuser and recompensating Banks).

I DONT KNOW HOW TO FUCKING DIRECT MY ANGER AT THIS.

If I feel this way, imagine how Banks must feel.

This chick needs to be charged with a crime. Right off the top of my head, I can see obvious cases for perjury and falsely reporting a criminal act. But then again, that's probably never gonna happen... :/

kragmoor · 2012-05-30T19:05:54+00:00

She should have to serve the exact same sentence in prison as he did, and all of her money should go to public awareness campaigns about false rape accusations.

vaughg · 2012-05-30T21:33:31+00:00

False rape claims need to be tracked and publicized hand-in-hand with rape statistics. It matters to everyone involved, on all sides of the issue. I will never again accept rape statistics from an organization that is not just as concerned and eager to condone false claims.

kragmoor · 2012-05-30T19:48:08+00:00

i am learning to hate this bitch more and more every day

2012-05-30T19:48:50+00:00

That's some fucked up shit right there...

SpawnQuixote · 2012-05-30T20:53:30+00:00

This bitch owes child support and they won't even put her in jail for that! Fucked up shit right here.

dbe · 2012-05-30T22:03:50+00:00

$1.5 million, even if you were actually raped, is ridiculous.

Andoo · 2012-05-30T22:38:43+00:00

What fucking blows my motherfucking mind is that she received over a million dollars for a lie and won't have to return the money and at most he is most likely going to get $40,000 per each year served in prison. This is beyond disgusting.

This woman needs to have a civil case held against her, stripped of all her money and it, in turn, be given to Mr. Banks.

What can be done about this?

Rolten · 2012-05-30T20:49:02+00:00

I know shit like this can happen and it's horrible, but what surprises me most is the fact that the bitch actually got 1.5 million from the school...

Zacivich · 2012-05-31T09:30:35+00:00

Can we talk about the fact that this guy's lawyer encouraged him to plead no-contest because he was a big black football player and the jury would be against him from the start? Doesn't that speak volumes about the racism in this country?

captivecadre · 2012-05-30T22:30:31+00:00

i can't believe how poised that guy is. five years is a LONG time to be in prison, esp at such a young age. does anyone know the details about the girl who accused him? has her information been published or has she done any interviews?

kahn42 · 2012-05-31T04:10:08+00:00

I have said this before but people who falsely accuse someone of a sex crime should be put on the sex offenders list. It is a sex based crime. If the accused where found guilty they would have to register as a sex offender. So why should not a false accuser have the same fate?

Rhynovirus · 2012-05-31T05:15:24+00:00

He should sue her into bankruptcy.

That woman is a deplorable human being. Why isn't she in jail?

jbsg02 · 2012-05-30T23:14:31+00:00

Pretty soon women will stop getting the benefit of the doubt. Nothing makes me more upset than seeing innocent people put away for crimes they didn't commit, be it rape or murder. There should have been no monetary reward for the woman from the school. Why would the school be at fault anyway?

aperture81 · 2012-05-31T05:27:00+00:00

Yeah sorry about that claim 5 years ago... Hope jail wasnt too bad for you, i spent all my money on useless shit so i guess we're back in the same situation as before... Friends?

2012-05-31T10:51:49+00:00

Well guys I think a lot of you are being lenient on her, supporting the if we prosecute her other people who falsely accused won't come forward.

What a load of CRAP! Like will be seeing people come forward in droves now, NOT! People falsely imprison people all the time and none of those other fractions come down to, take it easy on them so they'll come forward. This is another example of "women's victimization" and lets take lightly on these poor women -- FUCK THAT!

We need to make an example of her stop from women falsely accusing in the first place. The feminists are worried that will make less women come forward with rape charges, well so the fuck what? Seriously if you are not SURE you are ACCUSING the right person, then you shouldn't accuse, period. End of story. Let the Fems teach their followers how to properly identify people, take pictures, where a live cam, and all that. Hell we tell men to video tape sexual encounters to prevent false accusations what so far from them doing the same?

So, let's make an example of this low-life scum and throw the books at her. She should be sat down facing 40 some years of jail time and then a plea bargain placed in front of her for ten minutes to decide just like him. And, let's face it, we all know she is guilty and she took a man's life from him for over five years and branded him for his entire life as a Sex Offender. So how much is that worth? I say she serves everyday he did, plus an additional 5 years/or willingly register as a sex offender herself. After all did she not use sex as a method of power over another human being against his will and to take his rights away? SHE IS THE SEX OFFENDER!

So screw going soft on her and I feel any right minded feminist would feel the same.

Let's stop this, oh she's a woman lets be soft sexist bullshit! Face it if she was a man he would be so prosecuted and the media would be following him around and harassing him non stop. Let's stop sexism and do the same to her!

ThePigman · 2012-05-31T00:14:51+00:00

And to think there are people who think women can't be funny! How about this, Waneta Gibson. I smash your kneecaps in with a baseball bat, then i say "Ooops, sorry!" and you say "That's okay, let's let bygones be bygones!" What a piece of dirt.

And incidentally, why the fuck does "rape" carry a 41 year sentence?

gustavocortez · 2012-05-30T23:00:30+00:00

Fuck that lady. I didnt know they made humans this shitty till i subscribed to r/mensrights. thanks for opening my eyes gents!

herbalism · 2012-05-31T03:09:37+00:00

The law should be changed so that the individual who lied about the rape receives the same punishment as the person accused of the rape.

Workchoices · 2012-05-31T04:07:18+00:00

Eh she callously and brutally played the system in order that. Get 1.5 million dollars, sure she disregarded a man's life to do it but how much blame does a 15 year old psychopath hold for what happened? It was the system that chose to Convict with no evidence except the word of an 15 year old girl who had plenty of monetary motivation to lie. If I had the chance to throw someone I don't care about into prison and get 1.5 million out of it with zero chance of being found a lier and zero chance of having to pay it back? No... But a younger me might have to escape poverty and there's plenty of other people out there that would too. The problem is that the system is fucked and takes the word of a woman and nothing else as gospel.

Tl;dr don't hate the player hate the game.

Um5acentric · 2012-05-30T21:10:41+00:00

At least his dream is coming true, somewhat...

2012-05-31T05:29:27+00:00

oh, the solution is far simple. those who arranged to pay that bitch 1.5mn, am sure school was forced to, but the real perpetrates should shell out 1.5mn + wage a footballer earns and pay to the guy. is that a big problem for a country with several trillion debt already and spends so much on silly patent litigations ?

2012-05-31T08:31:21+00:00

I know this is kinda cliche but...I don't want to live on this planet anymore. This just makes me sad reading this.

KenaiStar · 2012-06-01T21:43:38+00:00

By 'bygones to be bygones' she probably means the civil lawsuit money.

Liverotto · 2012-05-31T02:26:49+00:00

She clearly ruined a man's life and she ask for forgiveness.

Why can't a rapist ask for forgiveness too?

Moreover I would like to really ask if a little bit of cock is that horrible for a woman compared to what men go through when accused of rape.

Is non-forcible-rape such a terrible experience that a woman's life is ruined for ever?

I am really asking that, it seems to me that this holiness of rape victims is just another insane sacrament in this sick religion of political correctness and feminism.

secaa23 · 2012-05-31T00:21:02+00:00

Does anyone think women really care about these stories any longer?

almostchristian · 2012-05-31T11:13:28+00:00

After reading this story, I'm no longer angry at this woman. Over the time Banks was in jail, she ruined her life, in so many ways. Now, Banks's future is looking bright, and if the story above is true, the bitch's life is going down the drain.

Thenewfoundlanders · 2012-05-31T05:30:36+00:00

I have a kind of qualm with this whole case. It says that the man pleaded 'no-contest' to the charges. That means "A no-contest plea, while not technically a guilty plea, has the same immediate effect as a guilty plea, and is often offered as a part of a plea bargain." It seems really odd to me that he didn't plead not guilty. And then the fact that he actually agreed to meet up with this women?

I'm disgusted by what she did, and whole-heartedly agree that she should get the money taken away and jail-time. I can't help but wonder at his actions, though.

kragmoor · 2012-05-31T01:47:37+00:00

I just want WWIII. Humanity needs to end or be reset.

AnthonyZarat · 2012-05-30T21:42:57+00:00

Death. Execute her. Nothing less. Death.

Irrel_M · 2012-05-30T21:38:23+00:00

How to say "U MAD?!" in legalese.

Anzereke · 2012-05-31T10:29:58+00:00

I get that people cry for punishment, but honestly I think that's both futil and pointless.

False rape accusers need to be encouraged to come forward, and even a slanted punishment with it getting worse the longer you stay quiet won't be has effective as just investigating properly.

As for punishment itself, it's futile, pointless, societally blessed revenge. Honestly I'd rather just see us moving to a state where rather then lock a rapist up for decades then let them out to do it again for fuck's sake! We actually try and change people, while reducing prison sentences and getting rid of the whole, prisons are horrible thing that is such a counter productive clusterfuck in both the UK and the US.

Most of all we need to attack the education, to make it clear that it isn't right and it isn't okay and too change the media methodology so that people aren't instantly cast in the role they are accused of.
