How false accusations destroy lives

sample_size_of_on1 · 2017-10-09T10:31:02+00:00

School got an extra million, but what did he get for his troubles?

I hate this shit. This poor bastard, his world is STILL turned upside down. I mean, his employer is gonna be like, 'So where were you during these 5 years?' what is he gonna say, 'Special Forces'?

Did he get taken off the sex predator list? I have seen too many stories like this where the dude is still on the list.

No, he gets to leave prison and we are all like, 'Good for you! The good Fight, who the man, YOU THE MAN!' but he leaves and he is basically fucked.

That million the school got - he deserves it.

My brother is so terrified of this, and rightfully so. He never ever has casual hookups. Never ever has sex if either of them have had a beer. Outright ignores women who approach him at a bar or a club. I'm 12 years older and it blows my mind how different the atmosphere is. He was at a party 2 years ago and carried a girl who passed out up to a bedroom and slept outside the door because he was drunk and couldn't tale her home. He took off her heels, tucked her in, and stayed outside the door so nobody could hurt her or take advantage. When she woke up, she went psycho, took 5 people telling her he slept outside the door all night. She was going to accuse him of assault. My sweet, chivalrous baby brother took it in stride, came to my place and told me he wished he had assaulted her, with a right hook, after she tried to scream rape when she woke up tucked in bed with a glass of water and some aspirin waiting for her on the night stand.

Fuck women who do this shit.

Brian Banks would have likely been a first-round draft pick in the NFL, garnering a wage of multiple millions of dollars. Missing these five years likely cost him to miss the opportunity to earn $20 million.

wtfizhappnin7 · 2017-10-09T10:54:21+00:00

She should now get 5 years

Oz70NYC · 2017-10-09T14:11:49+00:00

This story hits close to home for me. My younger brother hooked up with this chick in 2013. Turns out she had a BF, and rather then own up that she was a cheating THOT, she said he raped her. My lil bro is no saint, he'd already done 2 years for an assault charge, but was to that point keeping out of trouble. Because he had a prior, and it was assault, they hit him hard. 8 years in federal. But late last year they decided to re-open the case because some shit didn't pan out. That's when they pressed the bitch and she admitted she lied to save face with her now EX boyfriend.

So they reduced my brother's sentence to 5 years plus time served...of which he'd already served 4. So he comes home in 2018, but will have an uphill fight getting his named pulled off the sex offenders registry. Meanwhile she gets 1 fucking year. 1...fucking...year.

moodyconfusion · 2017-10-09T12:08:38+00:00

That is absolutely terrible that poor man I can't believe how terrible that young lady was. How could she not see how much pain she made that poor man endure. I hope she gets punished for what she did. And that money shouldnt be going to the school that money should really go to the accused. That's so messed up. Isn't there some sort of penalty for lying to the law?

pazinterior · 2017-10-09T13:16:47+00:00

Business men should make an organization to help men like this get a new job and clean their name.

MuffinHat · 2017-10-09T13:55:08+00:00

Falsely accusing people like this deserves at LEAST 25 years in prison. You can't just fuck someone's life up like that.

Jebsticles · 2017-10-09T14:07:20+00:00

This is an even bigger problem.

As a teenager, he was brought in, by himself, into the police station. A prosecutor said to him (paraphrased of course): we are going to charge you with "X" crime, which has a 50-year sentence. This jury is going to be almost all white, and whether you did it or not, this woman's testimony is good enough for an all white jury to convict. Now... we will offer you a plea deal right now and you have five minute to decide if you want to take it. If not... you will likely spend 50 years in jail.

Now... imagine being a teenager put in that situation. You for 50 years or 10 years. You are choosing between right and wrong; you are choosing between 10 year and 50 years.

The problem here is that prosecutors are more concerned with getting convictions than justice. This is an economic issue, firstly, because they'd never have tried this against a wealthy person (when the DuPont shit raped his four-year-old daughter he didn't spend a day in jail becuase 'it would be bad for him'), and it was a white dude, they would have never been able to leverage the 'race' card against him.

The American justice system is complete horse shit.

seinfeld_enthusiast · 2017-10-09T13:26:55+00:00

In my grade 12 law class back in 2013 we were discussing rape and the statistics behind false accusations (teacher happens to be a man) and shows us this. All the girls in the class were all like "women don't lie about rape! Why would they? How could they? You're awful to even insinuate that". So he proceeded to show us an online doc that someone made about his story (not the one he was working on) and as if they'd planned it, all the girls firmly stood their ground and were like, "He did rape her" and "she reached out to apologize to him and she gets her arrested and sued because he couldn't accept what he did?" And that's the first time in my life that it really hit me how someone's life can be changed so much by someone else's words and how inherent it is in our society to trust the words of a woman over a man, simply because why? Are women not capable of scheming? If men can scheme and be "evil" why can't women be? Aren't we supposed to be equal?...

DaeusPater · 2017-10-09T12:17:09+00:00

Many people believe feminist lies that false rape accusations are incredibly rare. I want to dispel that myth.

Out of all reported rapes in 2014-2016, less than 5% resulted in convictions (proven rape). Among the other 95%, FBI investigated that anywhere from 2-8% (depending on jurisdiction) of cases are demonstrably false (proven false accusations). The other 88% - 93% cases are unfounded, there is not enough evidence to prove either rape or false accusation of rape. Remember these are only the false accusations that make it into the courtroom. There are many other cases that the prosecution choose not to pursue as they were blatantly false, or the police/ law enforcement dropped the case when they found the accuser lying or the numerous other accusation that happen in social circles to cause humiliation.

anonymoushero1 · 2017-10-09T13:52:11+00:00

Yea she needs to be held accountable but let's not let the fucking SYSTEM off the hook that convicted this man based on hearsay and awarded this bitch a settlement based on... hearsay?

HEARSAY ALONE IS NOT EVIDENCE

sonofsuperman1983 · 2017-10-09T09:59:57+00:00

Jesus the world is getting into the state that the only safe sex is with a paid sex worker or homosexual sex. Feel sorry for straight guys you are getting screw over ever which way and then told to suck it up.

Morall_tach · 2017-10-09T14:16:34+00:00

Not to mention he was one of the top linebacker prospects in the country, all set to play for USC. He got a shot with the Falcons a couple years ago but didn't make the team. Can't make up for that much missed time.

JoseJimeniz · 2017-10-09T15:32:13+00:00

Was there any evidence that he raped her?

You don't find someone guilty without evidence. That's a very difficult standard to have to meet; because in most cases there is no evidence.

And in reality, people don't care about evidence: they want a person found guilty, and evidence is not a concern - only what we feel.

Bl00perTr00per · 2017-10-09T14:22:06+00:00

In cases like these, where someone is wrongly convicted and the liar cant afford to pay, the state should pay the damages and go after the liar to recover them.

Drezzzire · 2017-10-09T19:33:43+00:00

Wait, let me get this straight, he served 5 fucking years in jail and endured who knows what in there. Meanwhile, she's living the good life with 1.5 million?

Then he gets out, is smart enough to tape a confession and what happens?

He gets nothing, the school sues her and she's still out living life? No prison time?

Are you fucking kidding me?

This guy didn't sue????

I woulda had a fucking team of lawyers suing everyone

This whole just believing the girl cuz 'vagina' is fucking insane. What about all the guys serving time and the women didn't admit they were full of shit? There needs to be a different way to prove guilt.

littlefilms · 2017-10-09T13:36:07+00:00

Reading this really puts you on a roller-coaster of emotions, from anger and frustration, to a bit of relief

oliver632 · 2017-10-09T14:17:49+00:00

This is... Horrible

Istalriblaka · 2017-10-09T14:24:07+00:00

Now imagine that she didn't fess up, and how things would've panned out for him

Now you know what most people go through when they're falsely accused.

a_posh_trophy · 2017-10-09T15:07:52+00:00

And what about him? What compensation did he get? Fuck all, I imagine.

deputymeow · 2017-10-09T15:24:09+00:00

He was also a high school standout and received a scholarship to play football at USC. I was happy when I found out the Falcons signed him for a few games but ultimately ended up releasing him. Maybe he could have had a promising NFL career if he wasn't robbed of those 5 years from a lie.

2017-10-09T15:47:59+00:00

I really hope this man received some sort of compensation. Fucks sake man, this is why convicting rapes is hard on both accounts. It takes credibility away from the victims, which sucks for real victims. Fuck that girl.

arkyleslyfox · 2017-10-09T15:52:29+00:00

How does someone live with themselves, knowing some innocent person is rotting in a cell because of a lie they told. Blows my mind

MKAW · 2017-10-09T16:09:09+00:00

It's good that she told the guy who didn't rape her that he didn't rape her, otherwise he would have lived his entire life without ever having known whether he did or didn't rape her.

mynamesalwaystaken · 2017-10-09T16:26:15+00:00

This is the modern theme. Girl has sex, parents find out, girl charges rape. Boy does a plea deal since the state will pick up the tab on her end and the boy cannot afford 100k in fees, gets 1 year, probation for X and registers as sex offender for life.

2017-10-09T16:43:46+00:00

There is a very dangerous precedent in America of whenever a woman accuses a man of anything society must listen.

Not a single allegation against Bill Cosby has been proved yet the majority of Americans think he's a rapist.

showyerbewbs · 2017-10-09T16:51:37+00:00

LET ME SAY THIS!

This is what a false accusation is. This will NOT make real rape victims stop reporting.

ycnaveler-on · 2017-10-09T16:52:40+00:00

Now imagine all the monsters who aren't dumb enough to incriminate themselves.

longdistamce · 2017-10-09T17:19:59+00:00

Adding to this, he was committed to USC to play football and possibly drafted in the NFL. So he also lost out on millions of dollars including the years lost in jail.

I was glad to hear when he was attending NFL training camps a couple years back. Now he's working for the NFL but what could have been a great NFL career as a player totally ruined.

2017-10-09T17:20:13+00:00

But I was assured by feminists these things never happen

olionajudah · 2017-10-09T17:26:38+00:00

i can't be the only one who feels that false accusations are not a gener issue but a justice issue. these crimes must be prosecuted aggressively with sentencing guidelines that exceed the potential sentences of those falsely accused.

SwampSloth2016 · 2017-10-09T22:28:31+00:00

He had a VERY promising football career ahead of him as well, which was also stolen. His accuser deserves to be in prison for a very, very, long time.

Roolerk · 2017-10-09T13:41:22+00:00

You wonder if the epidemic of false rape accusations will ever stop. I personally take no notice of rape or child abuse accusations or even convictions. The system is so rigged against men that I want to see overwhelming evidence before I'd even consider believing an accusation.

chiarde · 2017-10-09T15:36:12+00:00

Is it OK for me to use the C word now?

rogermarlowe · 2017-10-09T16:23:43+00:00

It’s To Kill a Mockingbird all over again. Without the lawsuit of course.

A Podcast featuring Brian Banks

To make maters worse he was headed o the NFL before this story broke.

HiredMind · 2017-10-10T00:28:02+00:00

There's something I haven't seen mentioned in any of the comments: What about the culpability of the justice system?

At some point a prosecutor, a judge, a single juror, or the accuser's civil attorney could have said "there's no evidence here except the word of a high-school girl", and derailed this whole crazy train. There shouldn't be repercussions for the jurors of course, but the professionals involved in this case should, at very least, never work in law again. And they shouldn't be protected from civil liability by virtue of their job titles.

Dasgtibro86 · 2017-10-10T03:32:54+00:00

This makes me sick to my stomach. Men face enough in this world without being accused of false impropriety. Daily in this country Men are falsely accused and are then robbed and assaulted by the jurisdictional authorities who swore an oath. Trouble is the oath means jack shit when you enter money and greed into the equation. This Man here deserves his life back and deserves justice. I am a former LEO and I’m sick to my stomach I even wore a badge and participated in an unjust and corrupt system where the government can break laws, assault you, cut corners, ignore evidence, all in the name of prosecution at all costs. All in effort to take your money and ruin your dignity. I was falsely accused of a misdemeanor crime by a woman who changed her story, contradicted herself in a recored interview, and made numerous false statements. Men of all backgrounds must come together and change this system. I want to start an organization. If you are interested please message me here! Bless the falsely accused🙏

Stolles · 2017-10-09T16:20:04+00:00

I'm genuinely curious. I haven't been able to find out much info on the case. Why did he accept the plea deal? Sure he was looking at 41 years if convicted but what proof did she have? I ask because rape is generally notoriously hard to prove, while some men are scared of being accused, I get that but those who do rape, rarely ever seen jail time. So what makes this case special in that the evidence was so compelling, he had no choice than to accept a plea deal?

I hate plea deals, for the innocent and the guilty.

kilkil · 2017-10-09T20:53:41+00:00

Wait, so he actually got the conviction overturned?

Wow, good for him. Shame she didn't get punished for ruining the guy's life.

staytrue1985 · 2017-10-09T14:23:00+00:00

30 years ago a movie star could slap a woman in the face and then become President. Now a man can be convicted and a school sued on accusations alone.

Can't we just agree men and women are equally capable/likely of being jerks, and stop pretending either one is more innocent than the other.

txstoploss · 2017-10-09T17:36:14+00:00

LIttle bitch should serve every minute of the sentence he did, and a 3x multiplier for poisoning faith in the 'justice' system.

False accusers do more damage to society than any individual criminal can.

2017-10-09T15:13:05+00:00

Imagine if she accused him again after they met? I wouldnt be near that crazy woman.

Hedhunta · 2017-10-09T17:09:37+00:00

Isn't this the same Brian Banks that was unable to become an NFL player possibly because of this? Cost him millions potentially.

DrunkonIce · 2017-10-09T18:07:46+00:00

I feel the law needs to be a lot stricter on what it takes in as evidence. Sure more criminals will walk free but that's a price that's carried with a free society. No innocent man or woman should ever be locked up.

While I disagree with him on some things John Oliver did a great segment on how shitty forensic science is and how it gets innocent people locked up. Now that's forensic science alone. Think how shitty using word of mouth to convict is.

Pipezilla · 2017-10-09T18:23:00+00:00

There needs to be stronger punishment for falsely accusing rape/sexual harassment ect...

A woman says RAPE, "It must be true" that BS has to stop...

DanglyTwanger · 2017-10-09T20:45:00+00:00

This guy spoke at my school in front of a crowd of probably 30 people.. which is sad, because his story was amazing. Truly inspiring guy.

He was on a full ride to a Uni for football and it got taken away. While he was in prison and under way of getting out, he started training to try out for the NFL. He ended up making it on the Seahawks (I think, he at least tried out there and got a spot on another team) and then quit shortly after to travel and speak about his story.

Amazing guy.

IslandTourTwist · 2017-10-09T21:16:28+00:00

Id rather be raped than be falsely accused of rape

2017-10-09T22:00:47+00:00

This might sound stupid, but was he able to unregister as a sex offender?

bloodnuts · 2017-10-09T23:47:07+00:00

His name is mentioned, but not hers?

2017-10-10T01:03:36+00:00

Same thing happened to patrice o neal a famous comedian, its fucked up how common this is

2017-10-10T09:03:32+00:00

Maybe there was a reason medieval society over 800 years ago decided that you need evidence to put someone on trial.

2017-10-10T22:08:43+00:00

I wish I was the CEO of a massive corporation so I could gibe this guy a few million dollars, because 5 yrs prison for a false accusation is too much.

D0ct0rAnus · 2017-10-09T14:56:08+00:00

What a dumb bitch

SomeoneStopMePlease · 2017-10-09T16:16:15+00:00

I've always wondered two things, 1, who wouldn't the innocent person be entitled to the money, and 2, what if someone is sued and has to pay millions of dollars but only has like, 200 bucks?

icorrectotherpeople · 2017-10-09T17:03:08+00:00

She should be sent to prison for 5 years and have to compensate him.

MessiLovesCR7 · 2017-10-09T17:09:09+00:00

He should write a book.

Jethr0Paladin · 2017-10-09T18:31:49+00:00

Personally, I think he should sue the school district.

TerroristOgre · 2017-10-09T19:04:16+00:00

And he actually got NFL tryouts practice squad signing after his prime

Imagine if he hadn't gone to prison. Dude could have had an NFL career.

Did she at least spend any time in jail for her false accusation?!

I bet she didn't and that is outrageous.

ravtastic94 · 2017-10-10T04:51:45+00:00

No doubt some feminists would still look for a way to vilify this poor man. One day I'm going to start a men's issues organisation and I'm going to fight for men like this and make sure that false accusers are outed for all of society to see them for the filth that they are.

Can we do a fundraiser for this guy? I mean there's something that can be done to help him we can do it. It tears my soul seeing this type of injustice done to someone.

TrueGrey · 2017-10-10T18:12:16+00:00

It still sucks, but it's nice to see this kind of story on here with a relatively happy ending...

ShiningConcepts · 2017-10-14T05:55:11+00:00

This really highlights how broken the US prosecutorial system is. They stockpile charges and put a ton of physical stress (being jailed) and duress (the threat of a long prison sentence and lengthy/expensive trial) on you so you are bullied into accepting a plea deal. This is terrible and it affects so many men for so many crimes not just false rape accusations.

6755yy3 · 2018-03-29T00:28:59+00:00

He got lucky. Hundreds of thousands of men just like him weren't so lucky. They weren't able to prove that its all fake. They know and the person who accused them of rape knows. No one else does. They're forced to live in society were everyone thinks they're a rapist. That's probably why men suicide rates are so high. All I have to say is he got lucky.

RzK · 2017-10-09T16:58:36+00:00
