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.
That's unfortunate. Too bad bad people do bad things.
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)

"One in five women in the United States experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime"
"Nearly a quarter (24.8%) of men in the U.S. experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime."
"Nationwide, 81% of women and 43% of men reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime."
"One in three female victims of completed or attempted rape experienced it for the first time between the ages of 11 and 17"
And
"The prevalence of false reporting for sexual assault crimes is low — between two percent and 10 percent."

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.
So she ruined a man's life, stole 6 years from him, made it so much harder for other woman to be believed....
And her punishment will be?.......

From experience, most people in education but I know it happens way more often than people know. This is why you don't see many male teachers outside of shop classes or drafting, which most schools don't have anymore. I gave up on teaching because all the bad eggs made you walk on eggshells in a minefield.
