You argued enough that it created a lasting impression to me.
You don’t need to victimize yourself here because I recognized that this is a common perspective from you when we’re talking about holding rapists accountable.
Rhaedas never said otherwise, only that it happens and we shouldn’t condemn anyone until the facts are out. This is not controversial.
Two women filed false reports against me. One because I broke up with her. Shakespeare had something to say about a scorned woman. The other was my ex-wife trying to block me from seeing my kids.
Didn’t fight the first allegation, didn’t care about a restraining order from a woman I never wished to see again. Then her and her boss lied and said I violated that order immediately after it was delivered. Spent a night in jail over that. It got dropped because after being served, I was on video at the courthouse next to our home where I awaited a ride. That order caused me problems for a decade.
Having learned my lesson, I immediately fought my ex in court. She claimed to be in fear of me, from 600 miles away and without a scrap of evidence. Funny enough, this claim came three years after she left, and directly on the heels of my lawyer starting custody proceedings. Ain’t that a thing! Judge threw it out and the next judge handed her her ass for keeping my children from me for so very long.
So you might understand why “believe the woman” rubs me wrong. It should be “don’t ignore allegations”.
EDIT: Forgot to note, neither of these instances made it into your false reporting stat. How could they have?
You have already admitted on this site that you raped a 16 year old girl when you were 24 years old.
…Had sex with a 16-yo around 24.
She wasn’t a dog or 12-yo. 16 is not a child, at least it wasn’t when I was that age. We have this thing, and this may be a new word for you, called “adolescence”. It’s a weird in-between stage, neither adult nor child. At that age I was a naive little fucker, but I had this thing, probably another new word for ya, called “agency”. I could make decisions and be held accountable for them by my peers and adults. That seems to be an alien concept to the young folks around here who didn’t have sex until they were 23, if ever. I was fucking, working a job and driving at 16, typical in the 80s. What was your experience? (I’ll note that not a soul has ever directly answered this question.)
False reports of rape and sexual assault fall in line with false reporting of other crimes. Between 2-5%.
It says something when you pop up in every one of these discussions to talk about false rape claims.
Again, one of the most important challenges for successfully investigating and prosecuting cases of non-stranger sexual assault is the idea that many – or even most – reports are false. As long as this belief is accepted by law enforcement professionals, prosecutors, jurors, and others, our efforts to improve the criminal justice response to sexual assault will have only limited impact. Only those cases that look like our societal stereotype of “real rape” will be successfully investigated and prosecuted.
I said something in one single other discussion. I don’t appreciate the implied remark.
I won’t say anything anymore about it, because clearly that targets me as a problem.
