Once again, in the news story below, a camera shows that a girl lied about being raped. Thank goodness for modern technology! What did innocent men do without it?
Police: Teen charged after false rape claim
Observer-Dispatch
A fourteen-year-old girl has been charged with falsely reporting an incident after she made up a claim that she had been sexually attacked in a school bathroom.
Yesterday, the girl reported that on Wednesday she had been attacked by an older male wearing a ski mask while she was in a bathroom at Little Falls High School.
The Little Falls Police Department and school officials conducted an investigation and determined that the incident did not occur.
Footage from the school camera system led them to question the girl’s claim. The girl was interviewed again and admitted to lying about the incident.
She has been issued an appearance ticket and will appear in Herkimer County Probation Court for additional action.

They start young, don't they?
How come i keep hearing women / girls never, ever, ever, make false rape accusations. EVER!!
They start young, don't they?
Anon,
That is one of the problems. When young women/girls see that others are filing false claims, getting little to no punishment for it, it is only going to increase the number of false accusations.
With some certainty, I would bet, you will see at least one comment stating that she isn't old enough to know what she is doing, and can't be held responsible.
And if our legal system agrees, welcome to a serial false accuser in the making.
my false rape accuser is a serial false rape accuser, as i was the second guy she made a false rape accusation against that year.
Because the gender feminist / law enforcement misinformation Alliance does not want to leave a paper trail of false rape accusations...she was not charged.
They don't do anything even when there is a paper trail.
Archivist: I couldn't agree more.
My son's accuser was 11, and had accused twice before.
When she was 4 her mother claimed a 5 year old neighbor boy raped her after she and the mother had a spat.
The mother took her to sex abuse therapy afterward.
It was their mother/daughter bond - all they talked about was sexual abuse.
When a child under the age of 12 says it happened, in the eyes of the court, it happened.
She claimed he raped her every day for two weeks, two years before, using 'Pert' shampoo "to make it go in easier".
Medical exams showed her to be virginally intact.
Which doesn't matter in the magical world of child abuse, where children don't lie and all things are possible.
This child was a second generation false accuser - her mother was notorious for making false police reports and accusations as well.
Sgt. Mom, more enlightened judges know about the risks of children lying about rape.
In Patrick Kennedy v. Louisiana, 2008 U.S. LEXIS 5262 (June 25, 2008), one of the reasons the United States Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty for child rape was because of the risk of children lying. The Court wrote:
"There are . . . serious systemic concerns in prosecuting the crime of child rape that are relevant to the constitutionality of making it a capital offense. The problem of unreliable, induced, and even imagined child testimony means there is a 'special risk of wrongful execution' in some child rape cases. Atkins, supra, at 321, 122 S. Ct. 2242, 153 L. Ed. 2d 335. See also Brief for National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers et al. as Amici Curiae 5-17. This undermines, at least to some degree, the meaningful contribution of the death penalty to legitimate goals of punishment. Studies conclude that children are highly susceptible to suggestive questioning techniques like repetition, guided imagery, and selective reinforcement. See Ceci & Friedman, The Suggestibility of Children: Scientific Research and Legal Implications, 86 Cornell L. Rev. 33, 47 (2000) (there is "strong evidence that children, especially young children, are suggestible to a significant degree--even on abuse-related questions"); Gross, Jacoby, [*63] Matheson, Montgomery, & Patil, Exonerations in the United States 1989 Through 2003, 95 J. Crim. L. & C. 523, 539 (2005) (discussing allegations of abuse at the Little Rascals Day Care Center); see also Quas, Davis, Goodman, & Myers, Repeated Questions, Deception, and Children's True and False Reports of Body Touch, 12 Child Maltreatment 60, 61-66 (2007) (finding that 4- to 7-year-olds "were able to maintain [a] lie about body touch fairly effectively when asked repeated, direct questions during a mock forensic interview").
"Similar criticisms pertain to other cases involving child witnesses; but child rape cases present heightened concerns because the central narrative and account of the crime often comes from the child herself. She and the accused are, in most instances, the only ones present when the crime was committed. See Pennsylvania v. Ritchie, 480 U.S. 39, 60, 107 S. Ct. 989, 94 L. Ed. 2d 40 (1987). Cf. Goodman, Testifying in Criminal Court, at 118. And the question in a capital case is not just the fact of the crime, including, say, proof of rape as distinct from abuse short of rape, but details bearing upon brutality in its commission. These matters are subject to fabrication or exaggeration, or both. See Ceci and Friedman, supra; Quas, supra. Although capital punishment does bring retribution, and the legislature here has chosen to use it for this end, its judgment must be weighed, in deciding the constitutional question, against the special risks of unreliable testimony with respect to this crime."
I know 'the gals' are also trying to have this decision overturned.
My son's Judge was illegally appointed to his position instead of being voted in,as was standard.
The furor over his 'appointment' finally went away when it was decided he voted for women's causes.
There was a regular group of 'court watchers' attending my son's sentencing. They attended all proceedings involving sexual abuse claims, and the Judge played to them.
This was 1998.
The same Judges who hesitate to put a man to death on a child's say so have no such compunction when it comes to sentencing a man to decades in prison, and forever vilifying them on a list with no evidence or even probability - just the word of a child.
children can have quite active imaginations, and are very susceptible to suggestion also.
True and correct Norm
Sgt. mom, I'm sorry for what is happening to you're son, as i could have been going through the same thing, but my false rape acusser could not keep her lies straight. I, and I imagine you're son also appreciates you voicing you're concern for the falsely acussed here in this public forum..False rape society.
"I imagine you're son also appreciates you voicing you're concern for the falsely acussed here in this public forum"
Actually my son wishes I would never mention it EVER again.
He lives in mortal fear of being exposed, and his life again shattered.
He wants to forget this horrible thing ever happened.
I angered my sister in law by threatening to report her to authorities as a child molester.
I didn't report her, I just threatened.
"Never point a gun at someone unless you plan to shoot" was the hard lesson I learned.
I have thought a thousand times this must be God's punishment for my weakening out and not reporting her.
I explained to my son how the accusation came about.
"You mean my life was ruined over a chick fight?"
I've wished a thousand times she accused me instead.
She was smarter/meaner than that.
Harming my child was a thousand times more painful.
I contacted Andrew Schneider, of the Seattle PI at the time, who wanted to investigate my son's case.
He warned about retaliation - they'd done it to the Wenatchee witch hunt victims.
"I've gotten about 800 calls just like yours - what can I do? I'm only a reporter."
I withdrew out of fear.
Anne Bremner, of Nasty disGrace show fame offered to represent my son pro bono, then backed out when she learned it was a 'delayed disclosure' case, instead of a 'recovered memory' case. Recovered memory cases were all the rage at the time.
I spoke to Mary Kay LeTourneau's attorney about post conviction relief...he told me my son got an incredible plea, and not to 'wake that sleeping tiger' by retrying the case. He would only lose.
I was recommended Gary Preble, who prayed long distance about 20 minutes, then turned down the case. Thank God. I later found out he got some poor man to plead guilty to a bogus recovered memory case, and the guy was imprisoned 10 years before the Innocence Project got him out.
I've had other reporters offer to help, but my son would utterly die before seeing his name publicly associated with the word 'rape'.
All I can do for now is hide behind my anonymity until the day comes he changes his mind, or is exposed and has no more to lose.
I've come perilously close to being exposed by a cyberbully - there are some truly vicious people who want to shut this cause down.
I've watched another blogger, Jan Kruska, crucified by Perverted Justice thugs - her name, address, and children exposed on YouTube. It got ugly for her.
I'm happy to have found this forum. For many years I joined sex offender sites, but have always been very uncomfortable with them.
Most of them are truly guilty, and as someone molested as a child, I just can't accept someone would harm another, and consider it a 'mistake'.
My son suffers the same fate as they do, so I do what I can stomach to stop the ex post facto, unconstitutional Nazi era laws.
Too many innocent people have been swept into the sex offender snare, and they need help desperately.
So you were molested as a child, your sister in law is also a child molester, your daughter was raped, and then your son was falsely convicted of rape.
Have you ever considered having your own reality show? It sounds better than a soap opera.
I have some doubts about your claims, though.
I know it does, and I wish it none of it were true.
I've been accused of making up that I'm a Viet Nam vet, too.
You forgot to call me out about the story where my father was charged with manslaughter after a man touched my mother in a bar.
I didn't over play my hand mentioning the man was a recently released child molester.
After reading it over, my legal friend concluded they probably dropped the case for that reason.
Over 50 years old, it's still on Findlaw. Maybe it's still used as case law.
I'm removing some identifying information out of consideration for family members, not to be disingenuous. I'll be flattered if you think I'm able to fake writing legalese.

�3 The substance of the complaint, and not denied by the respondent, is that on *** **, 19** the county attorney of ***** County filed a complaint against one H*** H**** in the court of H.D. *****, justice of the peace, charging H**** with first degree manslaughter; that on ***** 6, 19** a preliminary examination was held and defendant was bound over to await the action of the next term of the superior court of **** County, and admitted to bail; that on the same day, *****, 19**, and prior to the filing by the justice of the peace of the transcript of said preliminary hearing in the superior court and prior to the filing of an information therein, the superior court set the motion to transfer down for immediate hearing, and transferred said cause to the district court of ***** County; that a trial docket for the *****, 19** term of district court had already been set and was to commence on ******, 19**, and dockets had been made up and distributed.
�4 On ******, 19** the State of ****** filed its motion in the district court to transfer said cause back to the superior court, alleging, among other things, the matters hereinbefore recited, and on the next day, *******, 19**, the Hon. ***** I. M****, judge of the ******** judicial district, heard the motion and, over the objections of the State, made and entered the order herein complained of.
�5 Petitioner urges that the action of the district court in the matter of ordering the filing of an information within six days from said hearing, and on or before *******, 19**, in the district court on penalty of having the action dismissed by the court on *******, 19** if said order not complied with, constitutes an excessive and unauthorized application of judicial force and the assumption of excessive judicial power not granted by law.
�6 It is argued that if the State were forced and compelled to file an information within the time directed, and forced to trial at the present term of court, a great injustice would be done the State and that it has no adequate remedy at law other than by prohibition.
�7 At hearing it was argued by the State that it had information that witnesses other than those it was able to produce at the preliminary hearing were present when the "bar room brawl" occurred which resulted in the defendant being charged with first degree manslaughter, and that the State was making every possible effort to locate and contact such witnesses; that it could prove as advantageous to the defendant as to the State to be allowed to make a complete and thorough examination of all the facts which the law affords.
�33 It is our conclusion from the above that the district court has no authority or jurisdiction to dismiss the prosecution of a case prior to the filing of an information except under conditions provided by ****** 19** � *** *** , and that the county attorney not only directs under what conditions a criminal action shall be commenced, but from the time it begins until it ends his supervision and control is complete, limited only by legal restrictions; that the district court may make suggestions to a county attorney with reference to filing an information, but that he may not order the county attorney to do so by a specific date on the threat of dismissing the proceedings, where the time provided by **** **** � *** [22-***] has not expired. That to do so constitutes intermeddling and interference with orderly procedure, and in spite of the fact that the county attorney is authorized to refile a case where the statute of limitations has not run ( ******) in any such case the bond of the accused would be cancelled or the accused released from custody if a new complaint was not immediately filed, and a new preliminary examination would have to be scheduled and gone through, if not waived, and new bond filed. But it is not such inconvenience and trouble that is determinative of the question for solution, but the unauthorized application of judicial power not granted by law in interfering with the discretionary duties of the county attorney.
�34 Therefore, the writ of prohibition prayed for must be granted, and the respondent district court of the ****** judicial district of *****, and the Hon. J***** * ******, judge thereof, are ordered to vacate and set aside that portion of the order made and entered *** **, 19**, wherein the county attorney of ****** County was ordered and directed to file an information in case No. ***, State of **** v. H** H*****, on or before *** ***, on penalty of the proceeding being dismissed, the case to proceed not inconsistent with the expressions contained herein.
