LOL I love how the reasons listed on that page is because it causes unjustified fear and a waste of police resources, instead of... I don't know... it would fuck over a guys life for all time.

should post to main reddit.

This example of a professional police department can help bring rationality to other jurisdictions. This is their attempt to make the issue mainstream. Police press conferences come with political support for them.

"False reports take personnel away from other calls for service, increasing response time for real victims," Eld said. "It also taints the jury pool in Orange County for true legitimate rape cases."

No mention of the effect on innocent men, of course.

They didn't even dare title the article "false rape reports must stop" even though the article is all about false rape reports.

FTA: "The arrest report states that Renford told detectives she found her boyfriend cheating on her. So, she took his car and intentionally crashed it.

The report states Renford hoped if her boyfriend found out she was raped, he'd take her back and be nicer to her."

Wow. This is a situation that the feminists say could never happen, yet here is yet another case of it happening.

It's about time that a law enforcement official stood up and said "Hey, this is enough." Too bad he didn't specifically target the false rape accusers, even though the article mentions two specifically.

Also interesting is that they named the woman. Glad to see that. I hope the boyfriend dumps her and never utters her name again..except in court, where she's strung up on grand theft auto charges.

Damn these people, seriously it's fucked up. To a guy you pretty much ruin his life forever. If it happened to me, after being fully cleared, I would ask for a name change and move overseas for awhile.

I met a girl once who told me she was 'raped' and as a result couldn't be involved with anyone. I later found out by 'raped' she meant someone kissed her without her asking. That's like saying I was nearly drowned when I spilled water on my chin at lunch.

That's odd, the paragons of honesty in /2XC swear up and down this is a non-issue and never happens. Why would they lie? It isn't like they might get some kind of benefit from it ....

Oh.

Well Feminists decry this stuff all the time since they're about equality right? ... oh right.

The light here is that the more it happens, the less credibility either case gets. Feminists create their own problem by drowning out the real victims with their own pseudo-victimhood.

Cops said they don't want to arrest the women, but feel they must. They have the public's support.

Meh

I'm in the military and have had someone falsely accuse me of rape. Thanks to that incident anything that was even mentioned in the reports of the night (whether true or not) that was in any way a violation of the UCMJ was used as fodder against me. I ended up with an article 15, loss of two stripes, base restriction and extra duty for 45 days... Not to mention the stress of having to deal with the idea that I might have to register as a sex offender (which in the public eye is a child molester), go to military prison for 10+ years, and get a dishonorable discharge. All of that AFTER she said she didn't want to file a report, didn't want to make a statement, and then two months later tried to apologize for the situation and hoped there weren't "any hard feelings".

Can someone explain to me what would happen if there WAS a rape but the rapist was found Not Guilty? For whatever reason (not enough evidence was found, a technicality, for example). Would the victim then be charged with falsely reporting? What if it was true but it can't be proved. I'm definitely not saying that there shouldn't be consequences if there FOR sure was a false report...I guess I just don't understand what happens in a case where the accused is found not guilty. It's a fine line, I know...I'm just wondering what people think.

Man will never understand Woman.

I hate living here now.

Orlando is usually a pretty dumb city with issues like these so it's nice to see our cops actually noticed

EByrne · 2010-07-19T23:21:01+00:00

This is not surprising. Women are inherently victimizing and they probably feel "empowered" in a sense when they can ruin a man's life based on a false accusation. Indeed, as many others have said in the past, there should be proper laws in place by where if a woman is found falsely accusing a man of rape, she should serve the equivalent sentence if the man were actually guilty of said crime.

Is this a different epidemic as the seven other posts about false rape accusation epidemics in Florida that have graced the front page in the last week?

room23 · 2010-07-19T21:01:07+00:00

Does anyone else know of any other unsourced, anecdotal exaggerations by police of "epidemics" concerning the issues that I deem important?

For instance, what's with all the women drivers? Can the police say something baseless and unprofessional about how they're dangerous? I would upvote that, as it reinforces my preexisting beliefs about the world and makes me feel good.

poor men, focusing on false reports of rape, why don't you all work on making rape less of an actual reality instead of bitching and complaining about how unfair it is for all of you

RowanBausch · 2010-07-20T12:09:00+00:00

If you have sex with a prostitute and run away without paying, is that rape or theft? (let the oral contract jokes ensue).
