so she waited as long as she could until there were absolutely no repercussions to her...to confess her crimes. if i believed in hell....she is a perfect candidate
False accusations are rare in the same sense that murder is rare, as it harms about 5 people in a hundred thousand in the US. Yet we have massive law enforcement and criminal justice systems designed to combat murder, because it's such a vile thing that ruins lives and families.
Just because it's rare doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, or that it doesn't hurt good people.
Good on you buddy. Good things like this don't happen that often in life--savor it.
No one would fault you for remaining bitter for the rest of your life, but try to put it aside. Difficult I know, and I struggle with this myself every day. Godspeed.
I was told by a retired CID agent that roughly 50% of rape accusations in the Army are likely false. Of that 50%, half of those accusations are from female soldiers seeking revenge for something.
I'm not sure I would agree with that, there's not really evidence of that in the Canadian military at least. False accusations do happen, but I don't see why they would be any higher than civvy side.

I wholely disagree as a former member of American military law enforcement. Couple the repetitive "don't rape" training (which implies all the men are rapists in training), with the ultra converse hero-lust that is selected for by military culture, and what you get it a large group of men who can very easily be made to believe one of their fellows is a monster deserving of vengeful retribution as soon as it's slightly implied that they acted inappropriately.
It is very possible it is more common in the American military and I will defer to your experience in the matter. I will say that having worked with American servicemen before, there is definitely big cultural differences between our armies, the enlisted vs officer divide is also much stronger in yours.
Another factor might be that while there has been SHARP style training in the Canadian military for a while, the big offensive on sexual misconduct is rather recent for us.
Congratulations brother. I know it's a small success after such a ruthless beating, but it's better than nothing. And to think that feminists feel people like you are an acceptable casualty in the rape hysteria of this era. I hope the rest of your life is filled with random good fortune.

The issue is that the current narrative is that it's rare relative to all rape accusations and that statement is blatantly false.

This is bullshit, if you're not being sarcastic.

twenty fucking four years...
more than 1/4 the average lifetime. That is insane.
And of course she made a deathbed confession.

The military culture makes false accusations a lot easier... But this is ridiculous.

I know this is a controversial thing to say, but I believe false rape accusations can legitimately harm someone’s life in a greater way than rape.
