Blogger forced to pay Army Col. $8.4 million over false rape accusations

"I feel like I’m a financial slave for the rest of my life” she told the Washington Post. “

Yup. Now you get to be his slave. Go make him some money, bitch.

fuckeveryone________ · 2019-09-06T18:14:50+00:00

Shannon said she was devastated. “I feel like I’m a financial slave for the rest of my life” she told the Washington Post.

You are. And you deserve to be.

QWERTY11309 · 2019-09-06T16:52:51+00:00

Finally. Progress.

PM_ME_UR_STONED_FACE · 2019-09-06T17:32:07+00:00

but she's a blogger so probably just a broke piece of shit to begin with. Nice verdict anyway

Slipperycheese1 · 2019-09-06T18:57:17+00:00

I still feel so absolutely bad that he was accused in the first place. He was going to be promoted to General. He could've been a fucking brigadier general, but she had to fuck it up for him. I hope he finds a career outside the army, that he'll find just as appealing as his now gone chance of being a general.

Turbulent_Discussion · 2019-09-06T16:59:18+00:00

Susan Shannon = FALSE VICTIM. On the other hand, she is a victim after hitting the wall.

Turbulent_Discussion · 2019-09-06T17:55:28+00:00

That’s what happens when you try to fuck over top military brass.

werubim · 2019-09-06T18:04:54+00:00

How is this woman supposed to actually pay him that money? Where will she get it from if she doesn't already have it? If she doesn't have it, I find it very hard to believe she will be forced to pay anything. I can't imagine the state going after a woman to actually make her pay a man. This is probably just a 'symbolic/on-paper" order that won't be enforced of she doesn't pay

Derplord66 · 2019-09-06T18:21:17+00:00

This does bring a smile to my face.

TotallyAToaster_jpg · 2019-09-06T19:17:48+00:00

For once and actual PPD

2019-09-07T01:56:00+00:00

Washington Post of course says "her allegations couldn't be proven or disproven."

That's the new standard they're trying to set. Fortunately, the law still says innocent until proven guilty. For now at least.

Boxcue · 2019-09-06T19:52:10+00:00

I'm not one of those people who's big on the army, I don't really care if you were or are in the army - I live in Ireland. We basically just have peace keepers.

BUT

This. This I'm haply about. Good on him and thank god he was able to prove they were fake accusations. She's a horrible person and I hope she rots.

SandorYarpClegane · 2019-09-06T21:08:39+00:00

Unfortunately she will just file bankruptcy and clear it for pennies on the dollar.

Fly_Guy_97 · 2019-09-07T00:30:21+00:00

Dumb bitch. Enjoy every second of it coward

no112358 · 2019-09-06T19:10:32+00:00

For women. If you get raped, report it immediately while getting yourself to a doctor!!!! Fuck the shame!!

zzGravity · 2019-09-06T19:11:01+00:00

nice

ericsvw · 2019-09-06T23:32:22+00:00

She's going to file for bankruptcy and become judgement proof. He will get very little and he's still out his entire career.

kekeface12345 · 2019-09-06T21:38:00+00:00

Non consensual acts must be reported to the police immediately, whether it's rape, burglary, assault etc. Every minute that passes hinders the process of bringing the criminals to justice

ilovehelmetsama · 2019-09-06T22:36:50+00:00

Honest question: why do false rape allegations seem to happen SO often?

LofiVibes95 · 2019-09-06T22:54:42+00:00

Poor guy

aAvocado62846 · 2019-09-06T23:09:14+00:00

Finally so good news

bloodsplinter · 2019-09-06T23:15:21+00:00

This bring me to the old argument that some rape victim kept their silent due to anxiety or pressure from possibility of being branded as a liar, or something like that. Wonder if that argument is applicable to this women.

And what the fuck is a silent code anyway?

2019-09-07T00:30:47+00:00

how about sending her to jail making 13 cents an hour until she pays off her 8.4 million. Hope to god she is on a Roman Noodle diet with egg from now on. Wtf Karen

30caliberclipazine · 2019-09-07T01:55:35+00:00

i feel like people that make false rape claims are just as bad as rapists themselves. Not only do they potentially destroy an innocent persons life, they make it harder to believe real victims

IMLL1 · 2019-09-07T02:06:37+00:00

And a colonel too... throwing accusations at someone like that is disgusting. That guy worked for decades to get where he was, and the asshole almost ruined it all.

ayepickupthepace · 2019-09-07T13:24:43+00:00

Very good news.But I still believe false rape accusers should serve just as much time as the man who was accused to be a rapist

Lui_Le_Diamond · 2019-09-07T18:45:25+00:00

Finally some juatice for false rape accusations

2019-09-08T15:07:30+00:00

I've noticed that a good majority of the women who make false rape allegations are ugly people who are accusing attractive people.

Dairycow446 · 2019-09-07T03:13:06+00:00

This does put a smile on my face

chambertlo · 2019-09-07T04:02:45+00:00

She deserves it.

thuglanta · 2019-09-07T00:46:26+00:00

Fuck yeah. I remember this cunt. Cunt.

Cloroxmvp · 2019-09-07T01:08:41+00:00

Haha dumb bitch got what she deserves

edgysecularist · 2019-09-06T20:39:23+00:00

Aging old whore should've been sent to jail where she can make all the fake allegations she can in front of Tyrone

VanillaTortilla · 2019-09-06T20:54:48+00:00

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

jeff4093 · 2019-09-06T20:56:06+00:00

I'd ask for a million tell her to keep the change and go straight to jail.

kona145 · 2019-09-06T22:45:48+00:00

What a self-entitled bitch. So, she gets to write about whatever she wants and ruin people's lives and careers, and she feels "devastated" when she has to answer for her wrongdoing? She got what was coming to her. Enjoy your retirement, Colonel. Sorry you couldn't have gone further.

Gordon-G · 2019-09-06T19:51:57+00:00

This one is a bit older but very satisfying 👍🏽

Haggerd_ · 2019-09-06T23:31:32+00:00

Finally some justice for these types of people

okron1k · 2019-09-06T23:47:52+00:00

I’ve always been curious. If someone is forced to pay like this and it’s way beyond what they can afford, how does that work? Is it just payments indefinitely until it’s paid off?

pwnzusauce · 2019-09-07T03:12:51+00:00

She will never pay

BigHoneyVon · 2019-09-07T03:57:54+00:00

Blogger and jewelers designer aka you do nothing.

Rodbow15 · 2019-09-07T04:20:32+00:00

"That's called the silence code."

Then why didn't she stay silent instead of coming up with bullshit...

Archerjohns · 2019-09-07T04:40:30+00:00

This is the embodiment of a 'Hell no'

StankDankDaddy · 2019-09-07T05:15:04+00:00

She's got crazy eyes, I gotta say

z3bru · 2019-09-07T06:56:56+00:00

Thats how mamy men feel bitch. Now go whore yourself to death to pay.

TheCousinEddie · 2019-09-07T07:13:46+00:00

She had the audacity to start a Go-Fund-Me page. After 47 months she's up to $11,703 with a goal of $110K. She even uses her cadet photo on the listing.

Gengar_94 · 2019-09-07T07:24:32+00:00

who would want to rape that thing?

WaffleStomperGirl · 2019-09-07T08:13:16+00:00

WOE IS ME!
I TRIED TO RUIN SOMEONE'S ENTIRE LIFE, AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WITH MY LIFE!
.... Bitch is lucky she isn't spending the rest of her life in jail.

That she has the fucking gall to be complaining about how she feels now..... Ugh. What a fucking ghoul. Not a fucking human. A ghoul. A creature. A monster.

Rongorongo2 · 2019-09-07T12:15:44+00:00

This is America

You have to prove your are not guilty

2019-09-07T15:45:53+00:00

Can't wait to see what the spinning of this story on r/TwoXChromosomes is going to be like.

troubledtimez · 2019-09-08T11:59:42+00:00

She doesn't have the money

Frong_Goshlong · 2019-09-13T04:57:34+00:00

Empty judicial virtue signaling. He won't see 8.4 dollars of that fake-ass judgement.

CheckOutMyGun · 2019-09-07T01:27:24+00:00

This is why i am not friends with any females at work. Its hi, bye, and business...but if its business, there will always be another person around...

Im not trying to have some false accusation against me in 20 years.

Reduce_to_simmer · 2019-09-06T21:50:20+00:00

I feel like she should be legally obligated to suck this guys dick. Also the money.

Mr7FootCock · 2019-09-06T23:03:02+00:00

I hope that cockroach really is forced to be his wage slave for the rest of its subhuman life

lSlemYl · 2019-09-06T21:29:30+00:00

what happened with not guilty until proven? if someone is accused of raping and they dont have evidence why lock em up? there are sooo many false acusations these days

SwitchTruther · 2019-09-07T08:18:39+00:00

As a white nationalist I can't believe this cunt got off this easy

Dark_KnightJayy · 2019-09-06T20:20:08+00:00

I’m just gonna leave this here for her ... L

SmashOmelette · 2019-09-06T22:21:13+00:00

I don’t know if I am missing something. Does she still say he raped her, or did she take back her claim.

a_prime98 · 2019-09-06T23:22:27+00:00

I’ve heard of this before.

Frong_Goshlong · 2019-09-07T12:58:24+00:00

I'd be interested in knowing how the allegations could be "provably false", 30 years later.

2019-10-28T07:50:31+00:00

Glad that should-have-been General won that. Now if only that could happen to all cases like this

LiveTheTruth321 · 2019-09-06T21:05:07+00:00

She looks like a he.

WasabiEyemask · 2019-09-07T00:35:38+00:00

No proof she lied though?

Both Col. Riggins and Shannon participated in a CID investigation that could not “prove or disprove Ms. Shannon’s allegation she was raped,” reports the Washington Post.

Following the CID investigation results, Col. Riggins sued Shannon for defamation claiming that all of her allegations were “provably false.” He accused her of writing two blogs and a Facebook posts that were timed specifically to “intentionally derail [his] promotion” to brigadier general.

On August 1, 2017, a Jury sided with Col. Riggins after more than 2 hours of deliberation. Shannon was ordered to pay a $3.4 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Punitive damages in Virginia are typically limited to no more than $350,000, but punishment was set higher “to make sure nothing like this will ever happen again,” said one juror.

3choBlast3r · 2019-09-06T19:52:33+00:00

Wait. So there is no real evidence for her rape allegations but also no evidence to disprove what she said?

Not defending her. But I don't know the people and I wasn't there so I have no idea who is lying. And that's exactly what makes this so fucking scary as a man. Any girl I've ever "wronged" or rejected could make a claim like this and fuck my entire life.

I'm no in no means one of those MRA people but man that's scary af.

edgysecularist · 2019-09-06T20:41:26+00:00

Why is she in cadet uniform? TAKE HER ASS BACK TO THE KITCHEN!

faulkque · 2019-09-06T22:37:04+00:00

So, she doesn’t have any proof she told the truth but he doesn’t have any proof that she lied to clear him. It’s just a sad situation where everyone lost. Money will probably never make up for what he lost and if she were raped, it is devastating...

0redditer0 · 2019-09-06T21:13:38+00:00

Playing devils advocate here, nothing in the article states that she was lying, just that the investigation turned up nothing. Not sure what came to light that determined she was “provably false”.

Anti-Histamine · 2019-09-06T19:17:01+00:00

I'm going to say unpopular opinion here. What if she's right but doesn't have any evidence to prove it as so many years have passed?

Maybe she didn't report it earlier because she was scared? IDK

michaelcollins35 · 2019-09-06T19:54:32+00:00

dethmaul · 2019-09-06T21:56:16+00:00

Do you pay taxes on damages? So is he only getting five million?

heliumy2k · 2019-09-06T21:02:58+00:00

I mean, there's a real chance it happened, but it's her methods that are being punished. Had she gone the way of courts, it would have been different. In terms of what happened, it's very hard to prove or disprove a rape 30 years later.

tvdinner4me · 2019-09-06T23:14:21+00:00

Article says they can't prove she was guilty of lying

So why is she being forced to pay

maljo24 · 2019-09-06T22:11:43+00:00

She could not prove her case. We don't know what really happened. It's a good lesson to not make accusations you can't substantiate.

eevannee · 2019-09-06T19:52:58+00:00

just because a jury didn’t convict him doesn’t mean she was lying. there are tons of cases thrown out simply because people don’t believe women when they say they are raped and they are much more interested in the future of the accused rather than that of the victim. there are hundreds of documented sexual assault cases within the army, but in the 80s i can see how the climate would have made it hard for her to come forward. i don’t understand why y’all mf trolls get madder at cases of false accusation than you do at actual rapes. i believe her.
