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.

it's shit like this that makes me raise an eyebrow at the term "rape survivor." I don't like that is the case; Has real "boy who cried wolf" energy.

KEEP READING BEFORE YOU POST A REBUTTAL

on one side you have someone who is forced to do something against their will for a relatively short time. (which is bad, no argument)

but on the other you have someone who can actually have their life destroyed by the mere accusation of the former.

Seems to me that if you are going to destroy someone you better make damn sure that they are the the perpetrator of such actions, because the punishment is far worse than the crime. (Though justifiably so, in this case)

    Being raped (can) cause life long severe mental trauma and PTSD in victims, implying that it's just a 10 minute bad time that is then just over is utterly fucking disgusting and demeaning towards survivors, you are terrible fucking person for believing that and should feel fucking ashamed of yourself.

    If someone like you is even capable of feeling shame
