This image captures the moment a former high school football star breaks down in court when his rape charge is dismissed. The dismissal occurred after the 16-year-old accuser admitted that the alleged incident never happened, concluding six years he spent in prison.

This image is from 2012. I am not sure why it is interesting (i.e. how it is nearly as interesting as anything else in this commag) nor why it is being dug up and posted now. It isn't even a good photo.

OP shows why here. This is because he believes false accusations are a bigger problem than actual rape, and is trying to craft the narrative that women don't get raped as much as they claim.

This is an incel post.

Not only is this an incel post, it's a reddit repost, ripped word for word: https://redlib.privadency.com/r/interesting/comments/1wxvfr1/this_is_the_moment_captured_when_former_high/

So, OP was so stricken with this reddit post, they decided to post it here. And then make their terrible comment linked by you. That's how big of an incel they are.

A reminder that blocking on Lemmy is super easy. Blocking the incel weirdo.

Because there’s a lot of discourse around the Cornell gang rape and people have a vested interest in making others disbelieve the Jane Doe in that case.

Indeed, it's why nothing should be made public and then public after the verdict.

this is.. a horror show

Theres credible evidence that these shitsmears hunted her down and drugged her. This is EXACTLY the type of case I point to when I be moan poor situational awareness in the "victims" case, that voluntarily showing up to a frat party is a bad, bad, idea if you are female. These are the kind of degenerates that host them, I'M CALLING OUT THE FRAT BOYS in case it wasn't clear, and saying what I'm saying as A WARNING to women not an admonishment of victimhood.

You know exactly why it is being posted now.

  • Nationwide, 81% of women and 43% of men reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime.
  • Forty percent of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to police in 2017, but only about 25% were reported to police in 2018.
  • The prevalence of false reporting for sexual assault crimes is low — between two percent and 10 percent.
