My life was quite simply destroyed: MP John Hemming recalls the devastating toll on him and his family after a woman he had never met claimed he had raped her as a child

Mr Hemming accused Labour MP Jess Phillips of using the allegations as political ammunition

Wow, a man-hating feminist exploited every opportunity to smear and demonise a man in public life with no regard for the truth? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you, to learn that feminists behave this way! ^/s

If men were privileged, and we lived under a Patriarchy, and ours was a culture that promotes rape and defends rapists, none of this would have happened.

Why do so few people sue their accusers? In this case, there is little doubt 1. that she made it all up and 2. that she did enormous damage. She needs to be sued into bankruptcy even if the judicial system is too yellow-bellied to prosecute.

John Hemming was told he'd been accused during the 2015 General Election campaign. He unsurprisingly lost his seat.

And who was his rival in the election campaign...?

[Jess Phillips] not only supported Esther Baker [the accuser] on Twitter, calling her ‘brave’, but encouraged others to speak out. That was a cold-blooded attack on me and my family, and she should be held accountable, for assuming my guilt and for inciting hatred.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of how Jess Phillips won her seat in government.

The case was dismissed in 2017. Fortunately Hemming kept a diary and had receipts that proved his innocence.
