Woman arrested for reporting false rape.

she lied because she didn’t want to get in trouble for skipping work at her great-uncle’s house.

Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously, if there is anything/anyone who is working against real victims it is people like this. 'Rape culture' would be this, right here.

I wonder how this rape accusation will be put into statistical data..

The look on her face says it all, there's no way she thought this could ever come back to get her and is now shocked.

At least she didn't accuse anyone specifically though.

Police however began to be suspicious after the Florida Highway Patrol reviewed turnpike video and couldn’t find images of Westover’s vehicle anywhere on the recordings.

It's not because she lied, it's not because women are treated with the same incredulity as men. It is not because law enforcement or the general public can connect the dots on how claiming "rape!" as a means to an end... no...

... it's only because provable factual reality conflicted with a total fabrication.

The title's wording is kind of amusing. "Officer, Someone I know lied about being raped!" "Oh yeah? You're under arrest lady."

Picture speaks volumes: she clearly tried crying her way out of trouble.

charge of falsely reporting a crime and a misdemeanor perjury count.

Where's the felony charge.

I can't even pretend to be surprised or excited when a rape accusation turns out to be false. It's almost like I expect that to happen. How many high profile cases turned out to be false? I mean we had a lady sit before congress and talk about being raped then held captive at gun point in a storage container. Her whole story turned out to be false but you didn't hear about that on TV even if it would have been a juicy ratings grabbing scandal. Instead we were to pretend like it's rare. Think about John Abrams on MSNBC who early on called out the implausibility of the accusation in the Duke rape case that was sent out to pasture. He tried to resuscitate his career by writing a book declaring women superior but his pandering got him nowhere.

False accusations are no longer news to me. They are a common occurrence that receives little attention outside of Manosphere. Real rape victims might need to be the ones to bring this reality to light because it's they who are hurt most by it.

Damn that website layout is a train wreck.

A man? Fine. A woman, N-E-V-E-R.

I'm sure that somebody is going to come in here and say how it was wrong that this woman was arrested because it will make "real rape victims unwilling to come forward."

And that would be complete and total bullshit because nobody in here wants to see genuine victims of rape punished. Women like Alexandra Westover are the ones we want to see sent to jail because her lie could have easily cost some man his freedom.

If the case had been pursued to its conclusion, the police would have sought some man fitting the description that she gave and to perpetuate the fraud, she would have identified him and that man would have ended up in jail and had his life ruined over a lie.

As I have said before; we don't want to see genuine rape victims punished. We don't even want to see the woman who saw Jesus in the spinach dip prosecuted. We only want to see women who purposely lie out of convenience or malice punished...women like Ms. Alexandra Westover.
