Atrocity: Man wrongfully convicted of rape released because prosecution withheld evidence casting significant doubt on accuser's credibility; then, police wrongfully arrest him again in sex offender sweep

Her behaviour fits that of a predator.

She looks for men who she knows will have difficulty defending themselves adequately in court then accuses them of rape hoping for exactly the outcome she got - money.

To me it's pretty clear that this is not a woman falsely reporting rape because she's afraid or regretted sex as is so often the case, she's doing it for financial gain.

This is beyond an atrocity.

This is a link to the court document of the woman suing the Janitorial company for her first 'rape'.

Who wants to bet that there is another "clerical error" in this guys future?

There's a lot of rightfully placed anger here, but what do we want changed because of this article?

Whose fault is it that the system is so easy to work in favour of the defendant?

How do we get false accusers punished?

I like a good moan and groan about current systems, but what is it that is driving these issues forward?

"Withheld evidence"? That implies wrongdoing on the part of the prosecutor. The US court system doesn't allow this sort of evidence to be presented at trial. Feminists call mounting a defense against a rape accusation "blaming the victim".

Why doesn't this man sue for wrongful arrest due to "clerical error"? It seems like the only way to prevent this in the future.

So, anything going to happen to the real criminal in this case? I didn't see her ultimate fate discussed in the article.

Fucker probably never checked his male privilege during any of this.

This is why we need feminism, monstrous males like this walk around free (when they aren't falsely imprisoned) not even realizing how great they have it under the Patriarchy and how they hold all the power over their poor helpless accuser.

There needs to be a reward system for prosecutors who reveal this type if evidence against the people they are supposed to be prosecuting. This way damning the innocent wont look as lucrative

I love how his name is all over the article, but not one peep as to what her name is.

Yes, I can guess why COTWA is not mentioning it for fear of being sued by her for "personal attacks" and invitations for "vigilantism".

Someone else posted and her name is Susan Riggo.

Don't go on the attack.... Sheesh, now I am doing it.

I assume she still has that 400,000 dollars she won in court due to her false allegation. Of course the mentally ill homeless man falsely accused probably gets nothing besides being detained due to a clerical error and hard time in a state penitentiary.

Was the evidence that freed him suppressed due to rape shield laws or just because the public defender was an incompetent moron?

I used to be a firm believer in the justice system. While I'm not ready to say I DON'T believe it, I will say that recent events I've seen with my own eyes have made me doubt certain aspects of it very much. Here is yet another reason to doubt.

tallwheel · 2013-10-31T01:55:29+00:00

First false report in 1979? How the hell old was this lady in 2004, and what makes her think any rapist would be desperate enough to target an old lady like her?

Fine. I know rape of middle-aged and old people does happen, but as she is a certified false accuser I can't help but think she gets off on thinking men want her body enough to take it by force.

The falsely accused are fucked three times: first when the police believe his liar, the second time when the system gives the liar a free pass, and the third time when society fucks him, long after he was proven innocent.
