One of the teachers at my old school in Marlborough apparently had rape charges brought up against him by a female student, turns out she got the inspiration from Home and Away (this is 10-ish years ago at an intermediate school). I'm guessing it would have been a pretty close shave for him as in those kinds of situations the defendant is usually considered guilty until proven otherwise.

As people have said, this recent case really has had an adverse effect on all the victims of rape charges - be them genuine rape victims or innocent defendants. Sad day.

Also, mud sticks. So even when he was vindicated, a certain percentage of the population (usually loud, old women with many cats, most on leashes) will continue to talk and spread rumours.

Can't remember what year it was, but within the last 3, where just over 400 sexual assualt charges were found to be false in one year. Over 400 people had their lives turned upside down.

These people should be pinged, and real hard at that!

What's an SST? (should I know this, I feel dumb now)

Sorry for unnecessary abbreviation. It's the Sunday Star Times.

I hope she is given the psych help she so desperately needs.

I hope she goes to jail where she will learn all about rape.

It's probably another police cover up.

[Smorg]

do you pose as a Detective''??

Watch 1950-1960 cops movies, dress in trenchcoats, wear cheesecutter hats and say "bub" and "sucker" and do annoying voice overs talking about your latest clues and how they match up.....

[Patrick]

Yay... Devils Advocate time...

What if those other complaints against CR and others were false too???

Couldn't resist.....

[Squeak the Rat]

It's obviously a conspiracy - shortly after some high profile rape cases against the cops, and a supposedly damning report we get this.

The cops set this woman up, making her tell this story so that Patricks question will get asked and all these insane women on the news screaming for rickards blood will start to doubt the cause.

I smell a rat

It happens an awful lot, much more than most people would ever believe. Which is why the hysteria following the Rickards etc rape trials is so dangerous.
