Jury orders blogger to pay $8.4 million to ex-Army colonel she accused of rape

SC2sam · 2017-11-13T04:38:12+00:00

“I feel like I’m a financial slave for the rest of my life”

Probably should have thought about that before you falsely accuse someone you dumb cunt.

Whealerr · 2017-11-13T05:44:39+00:00

In cases of falsely accused rape why is it always the victims picture they use in the article and not the guilty party?

WildAnonymoose · 2017-11-13T04:00:20+00:00

I feel like adding falsely before accused would make the title a better read.

“Everything in that blog post was provably false,” said Stephen Horvath, Riggins’s lawyer, “and could not have happened.” He said no free beer was provided on the West Point campus, that drinking was prohibited by cadets, that Riggins did not have a car in 1986, would not have been allowed to drive it on campus, and that anyone emerging from the pedestrian tunnel couldn’t have been seen from the road. Shannon’s claims that her grades plunged after the event and that she returned her class ring were also untrue, Horvath said.

And yet the public lynched him

I fucking abhor women like this. THEY are the ones that make it more difficult for the REAL victims to come forward. Fucking bitch.

newggp · 2017-11-13T05:42:55+00:00

100% deserved

I wish all liars were treated this way.

RoachboyRNGesus · 2017-11-13T05:31:07+00:00

Yikes they should've made it just 8 million idk how she'll afford all of that

Treemonk117 · 2017-11-13T05:53:44+00:00

Serious question, how is it justice when she definitely won't be able to pay that amount? The damage has been done, his career was derailed, and the most he can hope for is a monthly payment. Plus if that lady still has underage children, won't that affect their lives as well?

Ngiole · 2017-11-13T09:03:53+00:00

i am not defending this woman at all, just saying, holy fuck can you imagine owing $8.4 mil, lol

fucked for life. what a great punishment for someone like this, i think it's awesome. Let them live their life, free, making money and all that instead of being locked up on the taxpayers dime.

This woman will be reminded of her actions every. single. payday. I wish we did punishment more like this for non-violent crimes, financial punishment for a normal-non-millionaire-type is just as bad or worse than prison imo

edit: this woman is a blogger with like three kids at home. there is no situation on this earth where this woman isn't already on welfare. taxpayers are already paying for her life and let's get real, she ain't ever going to pay this guy a fucking dime. Maybe prison was the right idea in the first place.

2017-11-13T09:46:07+00:00

I like how they plastered his face on the very beginning of the article and her pic never appears once.

ImAnIronmanBtw · 2017-11-13T11:00:16+00:00

Remind me, did this false accusation cause him to be discharged?

If so, she deserves worse.

Prison time on top of this.

justsomewhitedude · 2017-11-13T04:54:14+00:00

She won’t be able to pay that...

iceman312 · 2017-11-13T06:20:42+00:00

She started a go-fund me campaign to pay for this mess.

SkroohLoose · 2017-11-13T12:17:43+00:00

She's fine. She'll be fine. And here's why:

God never leaves my side. He has never let me down.

My justice boner is throbbing.

sennhauser · 2017-11-13T13:32:20+00:00

I have some scripture for all the people who lied at my trial. Also, for the jurors & judge who denied me justice. Riggin's mother is old and close to death and none of you know when you will die. God hates perjury and false witness. This is for #JohnRabena, #ChrisRigoni, #DavidWRiggins, #wilriggins, #NancyRiggins,#RigginsSister, #RigginsMother, #PamMcKey (My Sister): “So I will come to PUT YOU ON TRIAL. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and PERJURERS, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.... Surely the day is coming; it will BURN LIKE A FURNACE. All the ARROGANT AND EVILDOERs WILL STUMBLE, and the day that is coming will SET THEM ON FIRE,” says the Lord Almighty." ~ Malachi 3 & 4 You have won over me in this world, but God is my witness against you eternally. He is on my side and he will vindicate me. Nothing will ever change the truth of what happened on that night in 1986. Nothing. I spared Riggins and his family from all vengeance. The Army came to me for a statement. I never went to them. It was God's will, not mine. And even then, God spared him. Riggins' own evil condemned him. He couldn't stop his evil ways during the investigation. He couldn't stop lying and his own lies doomed his promotion. Had he just said, "I didn't do it" like an innocent man would have done, he could have gotten away with it. But like a guilty man, he made up an elaborate lie that fell apart under scrutiny. THAT is why he didn't get promoted. Only politics saved him from prison. The Army didn't want the embarrassment of convicting a colonel that was nominated by President Obama for general. So, they quietly set him aside instead of putting him in jail. And I allowed them to do so out of mercy. I told them that I didn't want to see him in prison. How FOOLISH of me! The moment he voluntarily quit the Army (like a baby who didn't get what he wanted), he sued me for not getting his promotion. He had no appreciation for being spared from prison. THIS is the evil of the man. He knew he had been spared and still, he wanted more. God sees everything. Everything. Most people wouldn't believe that a man would go to such an extent as suing his former victim- but such men exist. They are morally bankrupt. Some woman wrote one of my readers and said that Riggins goes to church regularly. I hope so. I hope he does. I hope that deep down, he really believes in God. Because if he does, then he is afraid of death and what awaits him. He will have no peace inside after what he has done to me and my family. He has even tormented his own wife and family. He has asked them to trust him in this matter. It can't be easy for them to trust him in the face of my accusations. How many women are willing to lose everything in accusing a man of raping them? What have I gained by doing so? Nothing. Only pain and torment. I crave only justice. And have been denied. I have accepted my loss in court. Man's court. But I know that in a few short years, I will have satisfaction. Deep satisfaction. The TRUTH will come out. To everyone. My deeds and everyone's deeds will have a bright light shined on them. I, for one, can't wait!

This girl is nuts

ProfessorHearthstone · 2017-11-13T14:26:23+00:00

Her gofundme is up to 11,000 dollars. Bit short of 8.4 million.

HexPG · 2017-11-13T04:45:34+00:00

She has acknowledged staking out controversial positions on her blog, including that the mass school shooting in Newtown, Conn., was “a planned event” and that “I believe our GOVERNMENT shot those kids and teachers and used Adam Lanza and his family to pull it off.”

Good. That'll teach people to throw false accusations around.

Two people go to Westpoint, one becomes a colonel in the Army, the other one a blogger.

She and her lawyer, Benjamin Trichilo, said in an interview that they felt Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Daniel E. Ortiz wrongly prevented them from presenting witnesses and evidence about Riggins’s past

Look, I can understand how showing previous behavior could demonstrate a certain behavior tendency but the jury clearly outright rejected your claims.

5mil in punitive damages is their way of saying they were well beyond "reasonable doubt", they were 100% sure you concocted the entire story and want to explicitly punish you to avoid future such incidents from either you or copycats.

knight_dullahan · 2017-11-13T15:49:36+00:00

"... and claims she did so shortly after being raped by Riggins". She waited 2 years to resign and claims it as "shortly after". Uhh, what?

LondonBridgeTroll · 2017-11-13T16:51:06+00:00

$8.4 Million

Blogger

lol

2017-11-13T12:40:31+00:00

stay-at-home mother of three teenagers

Yup, he'll never see a cent of that money.

Shannon resigned from the academy in the spring of 1986, near the end of her junior year

So she could not cut it, even with the reduced standards, and gave up.

She writes frequently on her blog, Short Little Rebel, about her Christian faith

The marriage of feminism and Christianity is complete. Where else can a post wall, baggage draggin, land whale find a bunch of white-knight, hat-tippin simps? In a church of course! I'm certain that this is the next frontier for feminism.

macrosolutions · 2017-11-13T13:16:51+00:00

She’s quite the delusional trash....

deathtocontrollers · 2017-11-13T12:19:38+00:00

Well to be an ex army colonel in the first place, you have to have friends in powerful places. The average guy would see no justice served after being falsely accused of rape.

IOW a mom on relief with no father in sight. Blogging does not pay that much.

venmpwr · 2017-11-13T22:56:22+00:00

Hopefully she has a 400 FICO score for the rest of her life.

codyjoe · 2017-11-13T10:16:20+00:00

Man I wish I could buy this man a cake and throw him a party in this victory of truth!! I hope this serves to show making up false allegations can have some consequences.

bcrabill · 2017-11-13T18:30:37+00:00

So the blogger posted on this version of the article in the comments. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2017/08/15/a-woman-who-accused-a-former-colonel-of-rape-will-be-forced-to-pay-millions-in-defamation-damages/&ved=0ahUKEwiioqeJlrzXAhVEw4MKHeb-A-oQFggqMAE&usg=AOvVaw1F1n2GgIu0qG4clVsjPoEk

She claims most of her evidence was repressed, she can't afford an appeal, and will be writing a book about the trial...

I_FAP_OFTEN · 2017-11-14T00:29:10+00:00

God her blogs are a gold mine of bigotry and retardation. "Would I Attend a Gay Wedding?" Yeah, I really want this arrogant, self centered bitch's views on tolerance, let's hear 'em.

2017-11-14T01:00:51+00:00

And to think that people have contributed eleven thousand dollars so far to her lying campaign.

AKSasquatch · 2017-11-14T16:45:39+00:00

She's a proud Christian and Trump supporter. Just saying.

Liberalism is a disease. We see it spreading and infecting our society. We must continue to improve our education system to combat this mental illness.

okuma · 2017-11-13T18:45:51+00:00

When I read the title, I was like fuck yeah!

When I read the article, I was like....something's off here. That trial was very fishy about what the judge did and didn't let be used as evidence. I think she has a case for an appeal.

ToeTacTic · 2017-11-13T13:08:56+00:00

FUCKING HELL. What does she do for a living?

IndependentHat · 2017-11-13T14:51:07+00:00

But isn't she a stay at home mom? This is like punishing her husband instead of her. (or whatever her source of income might be)

Ridley_ · 2017-11-13T07:44:27+00:00

Kind of dumb. If you were in fact raped but have no evidence to back up your claim, better not be throwing out names.
