... just the sort of comments I'd expect to hear from someone who thinks Madonna is hot.

You know you do kinda look like a miniature version of her, aye.

Careful....I might puke on you too.

You think people like to make this shit up for a laugh??

Not everyone is as stable as yourself

I do indeed believe her word.

Yes I do think that some people make stories up.

Two minutes googling reveals the following NZ Herald articles:

Woman made false rape claim after jilted by lover
False rape complaints annoy police
Woman accused of false rape complaint gets name suppression
Police chase woman for false rape complaint costs
False rape complaints 'damaging to genuine victims'

Please read these articles. For instance from the first one:

Before she went to a doctor to lay the false complaint May made numerous preparations.

Police said she cut her telephone line, pulled out clumps of her hair, rubbed her knees on the carpet until they bled and scratched her buttocks.

She also put a condom over a hammer handle and used it to create sexual attack trauma.

Or from the second one:

Senior investigators estimate that between 60 and 80 per cent of rape complaints made by women are false.

All of which make it even herder for genuine victims to come foward and be believed.
One case recently here where a man was imprisoned for 10 months on false complaints. She got a measly 50 hours community service! I would like to have seen her get 10 months prison plus reparation for his loss of earnings and defamation. Wimen who make false allegations are no better than rapists but I still believe LN is telling the truth.

Well, er... history kind of says otherwise, doesn't it?

Got to side with Goblin here . Isn't there something called the "Stockholm situation" Here where the victim takes the side of the offender after a period of time. Something that was found out during the 70's with hostage situations or something ? You obviously can find it out for us maybe, seriously.

Not guilty in a court of law but he still did it. Would you want him to represent you in a court of law?

Y'know, somehow I really doubt that he's planning on going into the litigation field.

Probably more likely to find himself a nice quiet office somewhere rubber-stamping conveyancing transactions or something.

A Jury found him not guilty,so I'd have no problem with him representing me in court.Anyhows,I'd never stand before a Judge coz I'm

Doesn't matter what he does, the law society have welcomed him. What does this say about our legal system? They trust a thug who has gang raped more than a few women, lied about it and got away with it! Says to me that these people who we are supposed to trust, think its ok to rape!

[Creeping Death]

the law society have welcomed him.

That in itself should tell you something.Do you really think they wouldn't have?The fallout from NOT allowing someone with NO criminal convictions and NO reason not to be admitted would be far greater than the Law society could want or even handle.Especially with the applicant being Mr Rickards,former deputy Police Commissioner.

[Littlewheels]

yup hes a real big guy, wears his uniform into court to intimidate the witness and jury. thank god the days where the local cops got away with all sorts of shit is over. Not all cops are of the same cloth as Dickhard and his slimy mates!!

[tri boy]

Would like to hear him argue his first sexual assault case

[Goblin]

That in itself should tell you something...

Hell yes! He's a cunning narcissistic prick who has hurt a lot of people and is still free to hurt more.
