In his landmark 1994 study on false rape claims, Prof. Eugene Kanin explained that a significant percentage of false rape claims stem from revenge. Before reading the news story below, it is well to keep Kanin's words in mind: "Because the suspect is always identified, the false allegations [motivated by revenge] potentially pose the greatest danger for a miscarriage of justice."
The news story:
Girl lied about 'sex assault' out of loyalty to her family
A MAN falsely accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl had his conviction quashed yesterday.
The girl admitted making up the allegation and said it was done out of "revenge and misplaced loyalty to my family" because of a dispute over land.
The Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA) heard yesterday the DPP was not challenging the man's appeal against conviction, and the court said, on that basis, it would quash the conviction
In 1999 the man, from the west of Ireland and now in his mid-30s, received a suspended four-year prison sentence at Galway Circuit Court. He had been found guilty of sexually assaulting and of assaulting the girl near her home in Co Galway in January 1997.
He had vehemently denied the charges.
The girl, whose family were in dispute with the family of the man over land, claimed he had sexually assaulted her, but later said she wanted to tell the truth, so his name could be cleared.
In 2006 the girl, who is now in her 20s and resides outside of the country, made statements to the gardai withdrawing her complaints against the man.
The girl also admitted that her original complaints were fabricated and false in their entirety.
Revenge
She told gardai that none of the allegations against the man were true and that her motivation for making them was "revenge and misplaced loyalty to my family".
She also admitted that she had never come into contact with the man, nor had any conversations with him at any stage in his life, and that she was never coerced or coached by anyone.
The court yesterday had the man's application to have his conviction declared a miscarriage of justice adjourned to next month's list to fix dates.

I saw somewhere, I think in Moxon's book, that the false rape accusation rate in Ireland is as high as 90%. I won't be moving there anytime soon.
If I was falsely accused of rape, which thank god I have never been, I would quit my job, and stand in the town square every single day for the rest of my life with placards and banners informing passers by as to what is going on with these false rape allegations.
After all, what life does a man have left after something so devastating?
You may wonder why I am so angry about something which has not happened to me? well I know what females are like and the destruction they are reaking on good men, because I have been abused in many ways by them all my life (I am a slight, non-confrontational male).
one incident that comes to mind is when I was a kid of no more than 12, I was rounded on by a group of about 6 or 7 12- 16 year old girls, who forceably removed my trousers and underpants, I was humiliated and powerless, and I know of at least one other male that this happened to, the girls were like a pack of wild animals.
When I was about 14, I was left with a female neibour of about 40 years old, who forced me to watch a poronographic movie, and delighted in seeing me squirming and uncormfortable.
When I was also about 14 I was pited against another teenage male in a fight I could not win, by a group of teenage girls who enjoyed watching him beat the crap out of me.
Countless other abuses have occured, including physosexual abuse which would take too long to write about.
But I am in no doubt that the majority of women, for whatever reason, are in actual fact, just animals.
and just to let you know, I am telling my male friends about the true nature of women, Im telling men at the pub, Im telling those men that think the immigrants are to blame for all the ills of society, I have told a middle aged man that I met that it was the 'golf course generation' of men, who neglected their duties in protecting vulnerable children from these animal-females.
I've even told my father that he was weak and allowed my mother free reign to do what she pleased.
People in my area know I dont like women, but here in England, its something which you cant say.
when I walk down the street some male neibours look at me asthough they want to hit me, but I can see in their eyes they know Im right.
