There are some serious problems with this story:
1. The woman who alleges the attack decided to meet the accused at 5 a.m. in a park after having been previously assaulted by the same person.
2. She told police that she had gone to the hospital after the 1st alleged assault, but police could find no record of that actually happening.
3. She has declined to move forward with charges.
Sadly, there is no mention if the police will continue to pursue this, or if they will continue to go after the young man accused.
I also have a problem with the title of the story. Just because a rape is reported, whether it happened or not, the accuser is a 'victim'. This automatically presumes that the accused is guilty, and responsible journalism demands that news outlets be more responsible with their dissemination of information, and be objective.
'Victim' won't press charges in reported rape.
Cape Girardeau police are investigating a report of a rape early Monday at Arena Park in Cape Girardeau.
According to Cpl. Adam Glueck, spokesman for the police department, the victim, a 20-year-old woman, called police around 5 a.m. Monday after the incident occurred, but later said she did not want the incident pursued.
The 18-year-old suspect had called her and told her to meet him at the park, the victim said.
"They knew each other," Glueck said.
When they met at the park, the suspect left to go into the restroom, Glueck said.
A couple of minutes later, he pulled the woman into the building with him, where he proceeded to rape her, the victim reported to police.
The victim said that after the rape, she ran to a nearby business and called the police.
She suffered minor scrapes on her hand, Glueck said, but it wasn't clear whether or not those occurred as a result of the sexual assault.
She declined to be taken to an area hospital for treatment, and stated that she wanted the matter dropped, Glueck said.
When police attempted to conduct follow-up interviews with the victim, she was not cooperative and said she did not want charges pursued against the suspect, Glueck said.
The victim had told police that she'd been assaulted earlier on Sunday by the suspect, and had gone to an area hospital for treatment, Glueck said.
Police couldn't find any record of the hospital visit, Glueck said.

My suspicion is that the author was a woman. It looks like she used the word 'victim' at least half a dozen times.
this is a form of subtle influence or suggestion on the reader's mind - kind of like the old drive-in movies where they'd use 'subliminal' advertising.
Unfortunately, this reporter used the word so many times, she defeated her own purpose - she shot herself in the foot.
The art of "manufacturing perpetual victimhood" is an art that is taught in writing classes for womens studies majors.
By using the term victim (even when she is not a victim)..it does perpetuate the "victim construction".
1. The woman who alleges the attack decided to meet the accused at 5 a.m. in a park after having been previously assaulted by the same person.
Enough said. It's bullshit just based on that.
Guys, I've said this before and I'll say it again: don't get frustrated. It's easy to go nuts reading this garbage week after week and to feel that society will never change. It is true that the liars who run the legal system and the liars who run the media and the liars who run the academic institutions and all the do-gooder morons who believe any lie from any woman will never admit the truth. But a fraud this massive can't continue forever -- it is bound to collapse of its own weight eventually, just as many individual false accusations collapse.
As science and technology improve, information will get better and ignorance will disappear. THEN we will have our justice and then decent, free society that all men are entitled to as a birthright.
"a fraud this massive can't continue forever -- it is bound to collapse of its own weight eventually"
I have a funny feeling that in the not too distant future, the whole thing with false accusations is going to switch around real quick and women will be s.o.l. No-one will be believed. All it takes is some critical shift in one segment of the chain, for example a major media expose or for the police to change their attitude.
Maybe for a while, but the cases involving solid physical evidence will always be triable. And eventually I think that both rape and false accusations of rape will be much harder to get away with. As electronics technology improves censors are going to be far more sophisticated, for one thing.
Woman faces jail for lying about rape to get abortion in Spain

What would Andrea Dworkin,Catherine Commins and/or Catherine McKinnon say or do?
Dworkin is dead, she committed suicide a few years ago.
Feminism has not only perverted justice, it has perverted human sexuality and human asexuality. Everything it touches rots and decays or,Like the most vile acid it shows no mercy, no grace, no tolerance;destructive and unyielding in it's purpose. Feminism has a dark poisonous core ( no heart) from which no light or joy can come from. It is insatiable. It's evil speaks for it.
Dworkin suffered from severe arthritis in her knees towards the end, which she blamed on either a "drug rape" in 1999, or the long nine years it took to write one of her books, or on "repeated beatings to the legs," depending on what planet she was currently living on. Sometimes she switched explanations during the same interview! What a gal, huh?
DWORKIN WAS A BEAST...look at her, she even looks like a beast.
FRS- Have you commented on this story yet? There's $$ 633,000 reasons you could comment on this one.
Here's a story from the local paper
Wrongly convicted Norfolk man to get $633,000 from Va.

Between this and the Duke fiasco I noticed lots of locals starting to take a more critical eye in these matters.
"DWORKIN WAS A BEAST...look at her"
I'll pass on that - I just ate.
"Between this and the Duke fiasco I noticed lots of [Virginia?] locals starting to take a more critical eye in these matters."
Yeah
But are they still saying it's the prosecutors, and not the lying women?
"I have a funny feeling that in the not too distant future, the whole thing with false accusations is going to switch around real quick and women will be s.o.l. No-one will be believed."
Actually, I believe that future laws are going to make it tougher for men and women to even get together let alone express sexuality. You wait, the definition of rape is going to get broader and broader and broader and as a result consent will get thinner and thinner and thinner.
It's like going into a feminist restaurant and ordering Intercourse. In the kitchen, they have to cut out all the excess fat (rape) in the Intercourse before it can be served (They decide what is rape of course). Afterwards, what you're left with is a tiny, tiny piece of consent that is way too small to even eat. And then to make things even worse, the consent spoils very quickly, turns toxic and could turn on you at anytime in days, months or even years down the road. That is the future of heterosexuality.
Do not dine in feminist restaurants.

Norm: during the Duke fiasco, some journalists even referred to Crystal Mangum as "the fourth victim." No kidding.
"Actually, I believe that future laws are going to make it tougher for men and women to even get together "
That is in fact the ultimate goal of radical feminism - to separate the sexes.
It's funny this came up just now, because tonight I finally decided to change dentists. The one I have now is a woman and she does relatively low- quality work and is somewhat unprofessional as well. The only dentists I've ever had trouble with as far as their work or professionalism have been women.
I should have gotten suspicious when I noticed a few weeks ago that their entire office has become 'female dentistry'. They drove out their last male doctor so now all the dentists and staff are women. Also almost all their patients are women as well. I will have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket instead of having the v.a. pay it, but in the long run I am not going to sacrifice my health because so many women are fucked up.
if I myself end up contributing to the separation of the sexes, it will be because I have no choice. So I will at least not have a guilty conscience.
"That is in fact the ultimate goal of radical feminism - to separate the sexes."
Yup. But it does take time, something the feminists have a lot of. It's like that leaky faucet that goes drip, drip, drip. Each drip is a small victory, it represents a connection to the last drip, a puzzle piece if you will. After a few decades, look at the bucket under the leaky faucet, it's almost full. That full bucket of individual drips represents changes in laws and attitudes to benefit the feminist paradigm. This all happened without hardly anyone noticing until it's too late. The bucket is getting full. In the future, heterosexual intercourse will die as it will be defined as 'violence against women'. It will be added to VAWA. VAWA is a feminist victory caused by years of 'drips' in the sink. Those "small in number radical feminists" really do make a difference, they work 24/7/365 while most of us don't.
