September 2013: False allegations of rape: Briefing Paper
The above document by Rape Crisis Scotland was written by either a fool or a liar, quite likely both. As usual it plays games with both statistics and semantics. We are told that women do sometimes retract allegations, and that they do so for many different reasons, but these reasons are glossed over. They include CCTV, inconvenient text messages, the accused having a cast iron alibi, and guilty conscience. The reader will find many examples of the latter in this database but they include the former Cathleen Webb and the former Biurny Peguero, who both got religion, and - one of the saddest cases herein – Wayman Cammile, who spent more than a decade behind bars before he was cleared by a deathbed confession.
And of course we are told survivors fear they will not be believed. Juanita Broaddrick said the same thing in 1999 when she claimed to have been raped by Bill Clinton twenty-one years previously. Had that incident really happened in 1978 as she claimed, there would have been plenty of physical evidence even without DNA: fibres all over her, a bleeding upper lip, and a vagina full of semen. In 1999 there was only her word against his, but heck, we all know politicians are liars. Don’t believe this report or any of these hags. Rape Crisis and organisations like it may do some good, but for the most part all they do is encourage demented or simply malicious women to reinterpret their unsatisfactory sexual encounters as rape, be they consensual or imaginary.
