Cincinatti Shakedown

 

January 18, 2014: A woman goes to a club in Cincinnati with her sister and a friend.

Later that night/ie in the small hours of January 19, she claims to have been raped by a taxi driver. This video was uploaded to YouTube by the ABC affiliate WCPO 9 News on January 31, 2014. It is one of several. When I downloaded it on June 16, 2023, it had been viewed a shade over thirty-two thousand times.

A video uploaded to the same channel on March 25, 2014 had been viewed only 70 times, a case of the prosaic truth being less popular than the sensational allegation.

The police carried out an extensive investigation but concluded there was no evidence to support her allegation. A rape kit returned negative.

My view is that this was a shakedown attempt from the beginning, pure and simple; eight days after her arrest while she is still facing charges and she has already filed a lawsuit? This one stinks to High Heaven. At any rate, nothing seems to have come of it.
