Who is some of you..... and you seem very passionate about this, what are you doing, or what have you done to help stop this? People lie, people lie about all types of things, this is just one of many. All any of us can do is control how we behave and behave honestly and hope that those within our families/circles, too will act honestly. Most who deliberately act in heinous ways get their just rewards.

She got caught and now must pay the price. It looks like the system is working.

Although some accusations are life ruining. An accusation of sexual assault on a minor or a woman has become guilty til proven innocent and yes, the accused is ruined regardless of the outcome.

Hmmmm.. who's responsibility is to help it stop?. Why you blame him for it when it's the court's job.

People lie all the time?. Really, about rape?.

Your last sentence is one of the most childish one I have ever heard or read.

She lied without caring about the actual victim. Pity on her.

Rape is real and hurtful, so is this type.

Rape is a horrible crime, and as the parent of a daughter I don't look fondly on anyone with gets away with it.
In this case it is impossible to determine who is lying and who is telling the truth
There is no evidence that she lied... according to this article

Retired colonel wins $8.4M lawsuit against woman who blogged that he raped her - U.S. - Stripes

'The CID investigation found that, in light of the vastly different stories provided by Riggins and Shannon, and interviews of more than 30 people from that era, there was no "testimonial or physical evidence to corroborate Ms. Shannon or Col. Riggins' version."'

and that the jury was not told that there was no evidence to support his version of events either... essentially the case was not able to prove either story.

"But shortly before the trial began, the judge ordered references to the findings on Riggins' version struck from the trial"

The jury sided with his version.

Most rape victims do not come forward to lay charges so that most rapist get away with their crime.
Not surprising given how badly the woman is treated in the courts and how difficult it is to get a conviction.
Given the outcome, I hope he is innocent, but the I'm not convinced that he's innocent (but then I wasn't on the jury).

Hmm, why you angry Jamal.....Why you think I blame him, lol.......I simply suggested if this type of thing bothers him so, he should do something to help stop it. I think if anyone is passionate about anything they should involve themselves to bring change, Don't you
And people do lie all the time, and about rape, apparently Jamal, as this isn't the first thread posted here stating so. And I'll have to assume you don't read much if you think me saying that people who act in heinous ways get their just rewards, as being a childish comment, because it's said often, by many and it's true. In some way everyone pays for their crimes, whether it be legally or in other ways. Smile Jamal, it's a beautiful day

Yes there are some that lie about being raped but there are so many cases women will not step forward because of the bull that goes on with our justice courts.

A win for the men that had to endure lies of a woman.

A woman ordered to pay nearly $24,000 to the man she accused of sexual assault has lost her appeal.

The woman’s lawyer, Jonathan Collings, questioned the Welland small claims court ruling, in part, because he accused the deputy judge of relying on “sexual stereotypes.”
Deputy Judge David Black found the woman was unreliable and that she falsely accused her ex-boyfriend as revenge for perceived infidelity.

She was ordered to pay $23,842 — a decision that has drawn sharp criticism from sexual assault survivor advocates who argued it will discourage victims from reporting to police. Collings had asked for the case to be dismissed.

However, Ontario Superior Court Justice James Ramsay dismissed the appeal, arguing the deputy judge was “entitled” to believe him over her and that the 2016 decision was not “improper.”

“I agree that (to) resort to any gender related misconceptions would have been erroneous, but I do not think that the judge made any such resort,” Ramsay’s written decision said.

The original ruling is based on “the contradictions in her own statements,” he said.

Collings declined to comment further, adding that he’s not retained on the matter anymore and is unaware of any plans to appeal further.

The woman cannot be named because of a publication ban. The Spectator has chosen to also not name the man, who has declined to speak with The Spectator.

Believe it or, there are women that think this way.

False rape accusations very rarely happen. Only 0.3% of rape cases are proven to be false.

On the flip side there are countless cases of rape victims who are not being taken seriously. Take a look at the Jian Ghomeshi trial for instance - 45 women came forward and the judges are more willing to take the side of Ghomeshi.

If the rape accusation was false then sucks for him but if he did indeed rape her then I would not be surprised.

Really not a good example because the main accusers were quite obviously lying and judge had no choice but to find not guilty even if Ghomeshi is an asshat . Those accusers did more to damage women's rights/safety than anything.

In rape cases, even when there no physical evidence, it seems as if the man is consider guilty until proven innocent. In cases where all there is "She said/ He said" it often comes down to people believing the women because she wouldn't put herself the court ordeal otherwise. In that scenario one expects some blacklash when women are caught in obvious lies like in the Ghomeshi and that recent case in Virginia.
