ttp://www.speakoutvail.com/story2.shtml Glenn Sacks - All Rights Reserved. - Despite its many painful and unseemly aspects, the Kobe Bryant rape case and the media storm surrounding it have drawn attention to a severely neglected problem: false rape accusations. In her recent Daily Journal column, high profile feminist professor Wendy Murphy dismisses the problem of false accusations as an "ugly myth," and calls for "boiling rage" activism to address what she perceives as the anti-woman bias of the criminal justice system. Like many victims' advocates, Murphy cannot seem to fathom the possibility that Bryant could be innocent. However, research shows that false allegations of rape are frighteningly common. According to a nine-year study conducted by former Purdue sociologist Eugene J. Kanin, in over 40 percent of the cases reviewed, the complainants eventually admitted that no rape had occurred (Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 23, No. 1, 1994). Kanin also studied rape allegations in two large Midwestern universities and found that 50 percent of the allegations were recanted by the accuser. Kanin found that most of the false accusers were motivated by a need for an alibi or a desire for revenge. Kanin was once well known and lauded by the feminist movement for his groundbreaking research on male sexual aggression. His studies on false rape accusations, however, received very little attention. Kanin's findings are hardly unique. In 1985 the Air Force conducted a study of 556 rape accusations. Over one quarter of the accusers admitted, either just before they took a lie detector test of after they had failed it, that no rape occurred. A further investigation by independent reviewers found that 60 percent of the original rape allegations were false. The most common reasons the women gave for falsely accusing rape were "spite or revenge," and to compensate for feelings of guilt or shame (Forensic Science Digest, vol. 11. no. 4, December 1985). A Washington Post investigation of rape reports in seven Virginia and Maryland counties in 1990 and 1991 found that nearly one in four were unfounded. When contacted by the Post, many of the alleged victims admitted that they had lied. It is true, of course, that not every accuser who recants had accused falsely. But it is also true that some who do not recant were not telling the truth. According to a 1996 Department of Justice Report, of the roughly 10,000 sexual assault cases analyzed with DNA evidence over the previous seven years, 2,000 excluded the primary suspect, and another 2,000 were inconclusive. The report notes that these figures mirror an informal National Institute of Justice survey of private laboratories, and suggests that there exists "some strong, underlying systemic problems that generate erroneous accusations and convictions." That false allegations are a major problem has been confirmed by several prominent prosecutors, including Linda Fairstein, who heads the New York County District Attorney's Sex Crimes Unit. Fairstein, the author of Sexual Violence: Our War Against Rape, says, "there are about 4,000 reports of rape each year in Manhattan. Of these, about half simply did not happen." Craig Silverman, a former Colorado prosecutor known for his zealous prosecution of rapists during his 16-year career, says that false rape accusations occur with "scary frequency." As a regular commentator on the Bryant trial for Denver's ABC affiliate, Silverman noted that "any honest veteran sex assault investigator will tell you that rape is one of the most falsely reported crimes." According to Silverman, a Denver sex-assault unit commander estimates that nearly half of all reported rape claims are false. The media has largely ignored these studies and experts and has instead promoted the notion that only 2% of rape allegations are false. This figure was made famous by feminist Susan Brownmiller in her 1975 book Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape. Brownmiller was relaying the alleged comments of a New York judge concerning the rate of false rape accusations in a New York City police precinct in 1974. A 1997 Columbia Journalism Review analysis of rape statistics noted that the 2% statistic is often falsely attributed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and has no clear and credible study to support it. The FBI's statistic for "unfounded" rape accusations is 9%, but this definition only includes cases where the accuser recants or the evidence contradicts her story. Instances where the case is dismissed for lack of evidence are not included in the "unfounded" category. Brownmiller's credibility can be assessed by her assertion in Against Our Will that rape is "nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear." Murphy also contends that the criminal justice system is stacked against women, and that the law reform initiatives promoted during the past three decades have "failed to make a bit of difference in the justice system's handling of rape cases." In reality, feminist advocacy and the now ubiquitous rape-shield laws have made an enormous difference in the way the system treats rape cases. Some of these changes have been fair, and have led to greater protections for rape victims. However, others have made it more difficult for men to defend themselves, with at times horrifying consequences for the accused. For example, in December, the Arkansas Supreme Court denied an appeal by Ralph Taylor, who is serving a 13-year sentence for rape. The court held that evidence of the victim's alleged prior false allegations of rape was inadmissible because it was considered sexual conduct within the meaning of the state's rape shield statute. In that case, the defense proffered the testimony of two friends of the alleged victim, both of whom claimed that she had previously falsely accused another man of raping her. The court added that admitting such evidence could "inflame the jury." In her book Ceasefire: Why Women and Men Must Join Forces to Achieve True Equality, Boston Globe columnist Cathy Young details numerous questionable rulings in which potentially innocent men were prevented from properly defending themselves by the rape shield laws which Murphy endorses. One of these cases concerns an 18 year-old Wisconsin boy named Charles Steadman, who in 1993 was sentenced to eight years in prison for allegedly raping an older woman. Steadman was prohibited from revealing that his accuser was currently facing criminal charges of having sex with minors, and thus had an excellent reason to claim that the sex with Steadman was not consensual. Such evidence was deemed related to his accuser's sexual history and thus inadmissible. In 1997, sportscaster Marv Albert was accused of assault and battery during a sexual encounter with a woman with whom he had had a 10-year sexual relationship. Albert sought to introduce evidence that his accuser, who had been in a mental hospital six weeks before the alleged assault, had previously made false accusations against men who had left her, as Albert, who was engaged to be married, was planning to do. Albert's offer of proof was denied, compromising his ability to defend himself. Facing a possible life sentence, he chose to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault. Murphy's dogged attack

I know first hand (actually a lesser charge than rape) that the entire legal system will be on the side of the accuser. The accused has absolutely zero rights. In real life, cops will lie to better their careers. For the same reason, prosecutors will do their very best to hide exculpatory evidence from the jury. The accuser will be coached and she will shed crocodile tears. Her account may be completely different than that on the indictment (but the jury will never know). The prosecutor will ask the jury, "you saw her crying...what does she possibly have to gain in coming here today..." In my case, at least $25,000 USD in worthless legal fees. If I would have known, I would have bonded out and gone south right away with more of my own hard earned assets. Get to know the evil system before it gets to know you.

According to a 1996 Department of Justice Report, of the roughly 10,000 sexual assault cases analyzed with DNA evidence over the previous seven years, 2,000 excluded the primary suspect,

and another 2,000 were inconclusive.
inconclusive! bestiality? jar-jar is *fertile*?? or her mom's sperm? :>
The report notes that these figures mirror an informal National Institute of Justice survey of private laboratories, and suggests that there exists "some strong, underlying systemic problems that generate erroneous accusations and convictions."
what were their 'false positives' stats for the control group of 'field collected' DNA sampling? presumably, fewer than 1/5?
That false allegations are a major problem has been confirmed by several prominent prosecutors, including Linda Fairstein, who heads the New York County District Attorney's Sex Crimes Unit.

Instances where the case is dismissed for lack of evidence are not included in the "unfounded" category.
so trying to divvy between two categories is invalid, since there are always (at least) three categories.
Brownmiller's credibility can be assessed by her assertion in Against Our Will that rape is "nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear."
dumb supposition, since all men don't try to intimidaet all women into fear... but then, everyone's credibility can be mauled by their own occasional wack statement.
Murphy also contends that the criminal justice system is stacked against women, and that the law reform initiatives promoted during the past three decades have "failed to make a bit of difference in the justice system's handling of rape cases."

Smugly? Who can be smug when their freedom is being debated? How about he remained silent because that is his right. It wasn't his choice to be there. If the accuser can't stand the heat - which she obviously couldn't - she should've gotten out of the kitchen - which she did.

I've discovered that police and prosecutors are there to lie and help coach the accuser, period. Since then, I have denounced my US citizenship and forever left the country. Fortunately for me, my U.S. learned business skills have made things quite comfortable in my new (macho oriented) homeland. If there's a divorce, you kick out the wife (although I'm too young to marry). If your dog bites someone, you get a band aid. If you want to smoke in a night club, no problemo (although I don't smoke). You want to drink a beer on the beach? Go right ahead. I like it just like this, and don't worry, I didn't let the door hit me on the way out.

[Feminist] Murphy cannot seem to fathom the possibility that Bryant could be innocent.
You suffer from the same brain rot, "edens m...anges". Further, your inability to refute the article posted by s_knight8 regarding the huge false accusation rate of "rape!" by women only highlights the truth that many women MSuse accusations of "rape!" for their own selfish ends. However, research shows that false allegations of rape are frighteningly common.
she [Katelyn Faber] could be compelled to testify at a criminal trial
Of course. According to the US Constitution, the accused has the right to face the accuser at trial. Your whine, "edens m...anges" is that even men have civil rights including the right to a fair trial. You clearly prefer that to be abolished, "edens m...anges", which is one of many reasons feminists like you fit the label 'feminazi' so perfectly.
just like kobe can be at civil trial
See, there you go, "edens m...anges", showing one and all that you aren't interested in whether or not Katelyn Faber's accusations of criminal conduct are true, your only interest is in dragging some man down. Sheesh. When by your example, "edens m...anges", you convince men that women are catty and untrustworthy b*tch dogs who shouldn't be close to positions of legal or political influence, will you call your triumph "a victory for feminism"? -- Masculism is the radical notion that men are people too. Feminists go hysterical upon hearing that.

s_knight8 reported... and then there's the other 50%...
Of which 50% are not recanted but still likely false. "Unfounded" is a fancy-pants term meaning there's no evidence to be found to back up her story. Kanin found that most of the false accusers were motivated by a need for an alibi or a desire for revenge. Example: Cathleen Crowell Webb's case as she tells it in her book _Forgive Me_. The most common reasons the women gave for falsely accusing rape were "spite or revenge," and to compensate for feelings of guilt or shame (Forensic Science Digest, vol. 11. no. 4, December 1985).
guilt? gult for what?
<giggle> Are you the naif!!! How about, "I didn't want my Mom to find out I'm sleeping around," which was what motivated Cathleen Crowell Webb to lie. Then there's, "I didn't want my boyfriend to find out I'm sleeping around so I accused the guy I was boffing in my dorm room when my boyfriend walked in on us of 'rape!'", which has been pulled off more than once by college women. College women are also prone to the, "I made up the 'rape!' story to get attention for myself," as in a case at University of California, Davis, recently. A Washington Post investigation of rape reports in seven Virginia and Maryland counties in 1990 and 1991 found that nearly one in four were unfounded. When contacted by the Post, many of the alleged victims admitted that they had lied. It is true, of course, that not every accuser who recants had accused falsely. But it is also true that some who do not recant were not telling the truth.
ok, though rumsfeldian in phrasing... http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/001298.html and some who recant were telling the truth...
Already said in the article, followed by some who do not recant are lying. Remember, Cathleen Crowell Webb never did recant until long after the innocent man who simply a convenient stranger to accuse had served years and years in an Illinois prison. Cathleen Crowell Webb finally came forward because she had 'found Christ' (as the expression goes) in the meantime. However, most accusers remain relatively irreligious and unmotivated to come clean with the truth. [remainder of ci+'s wriggling and clinging to a belief that all men are evil snipped] -- Masculism is the radical notion that men are people too. This idea infuriates feminists.

Of which 50% are not recanted but still likely false. "Unfounded" is a fancy-pants term meaning there's no evidence to be found to back up her story. Kanin found that most of the false accusers were motivated by a need for an alibi or a desire for revenge. Example: Cathleen Crowell Webb's case as she tells it in her book _Forgive Me_. The most common reasons the women gave for falsely accusing rape were "spite or revenge," and to compensate for feelings of guilt or shame (Forensic Science Digest, vol. 11. no. 4, December 1985). <giggle> Are you the naif!!! How about, "I didn't want my Mom to find out I'm sleeping around," which was what motivated Cathleen Crowell Webb to lie. Then there's, "I didn't want my boyfriend to find out I'm sleeping around so I accused the guy I was boffing in my dorm room when my boyfriend walked in on us of 'rape!'", which has been pulled off more than once by college women. College women are also prone to the, "I made up the 'rape!' story to get attention for myself," as in a case at University of California, Davis, recently. A Washington Post investigation of rape reports in seven Virginia and Maryland counties in 1990 and 1991 found that nearly one in four were unfounded. When contacted by the Post, many of the alleged victims admitted that they had lied. It is true, of course, that not every accuser who recants had accused falsely. But it is also true that some who do not recant were not telling the truth. Already said in the article, followed by some who do not recant are lying.

Is it just coincidence that the name of the guy was/is Dotson, a name that is familar to us here on t.r? Or is it a common name in the states? What happened to the woman? The report I just read made no mention. Ann

However, research shows that false allegations of rape are frighteningly common. You also understand that there will be no "rape shield" nonsense preventing the introduction of HER past behavior to protect her extortionist ass --
a) IF relevant b) begs the question
and that if SHE lies then SHE will be tried for perjury AND extortion.
Possibly. Your point? I hope this trial goes ahead. It will be very interesting to hear both their stories from their own mouths, instead of hers from a detective and his from a $20,000,000 legal team.

gosh what a loss arf meow arf
Yeah. Looking back, I should have kept my money and represented myself in court as I would have done a better job. Not to mention that I could have really used that hard earned cash in my new homeland. I think that things will turn out pretty good down here since I was used to working 50 to 60 hours a week at my old rat race of a job in California. This conditioning should serve me quite well.

I'd like to say but I'd rather remain anonymous since I am now living in a foreign country (connected to this news server by proxy of course).
