This morning, a reader in Pittsburgh alerted me to a news story about a teenager who claimed she was raped. She supposedly was dragged to a wooded area, blah, blah, blah. The reader said he would bet every dollar he had that this will turn out to be a false rape claim. I told him I agreed, that it had all the markings of a typical false rape claim. The following story appeared later in the day -- she wanted to avoid getting in trouble, so she saw fit to slander an entire gender:
Teen's report of Carrick sex assault called false
A Carrick High School student who claimed she was abducted and sexually assaulted near the high school yesterday made it up, police said today.
The 15-year-old girl said she had been pulled into a red van just before noon, taken to a wooded area and sexually assaulted.
A police news release today said an investigation found the girl had argued with her parents earlier in the day and fabricated the report "to keep from being punished."
Detectives are conferring with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office to determine if charges will be filed for filing a false report to police.

What happens to a society where false rape accusations become so common that no-one believes the women anymore.
Well, the responsible mans position would be to start charging false rape acussations, which will in turn, return some degree of truth to real acussations.
The irresponsible thing (which American law enforcement is now doing, Is re-defining what the meaning of is, is, in order to keep the true percentages of false rape accusations from the public eye).
One approach is sick, and twisted lying..which will lead to further sickness.
And the other is the responsible truth, which will heal society.
"What happens to a society where false rape accusations become so common that no-one believes the women anymore."
We're getting pretty close to that now, Scott.
So what is the solution the feminists have adopted? Stick your head in the sand and just pretend women don't lie about rape. If they'd help us go after the false accusers, we'd reduce false rape claims and give actual rape victims more credibility.
What might also bear thinking about is that the more that accusers get taken in, questioned and revealed for what they are, the more intelligence they'll accumulate about police methods and techniques for exposing them.
I find it hard to believe these women are going to remain silent about what happened to them in the interrogation room. They'll tell all to their friends and analyze what specific things they did that got them caught out, especially the younger ones.
So the next generation of accusers are going to be more sophisticated than this lot, and likely to pass more police tests for authenticity.
As long as there's no serious deterrent to this behavior, it will only get worse - more frequent, more likely to send innocent men to jail and more fuel to the rape hysteria fire.
Holy crap!
There are parallels with this story:
"A 15-year-old girl told police she was grabbed off a Manorville street Monday by two men in a red pickup truck who threatened her with a knife, requested "sexual acts" and then let her go unharmed."

What I'm confused about is why they let her go. I mean, why go through all that trouble and then just ... let her go? It all sounds suspicious to me.
There's another article here.

That is likely what made the police suspicious that this wasn't on the up and up. I do agree with slwerner, that while there is a lot of problem with police arresting first, and investigating second, they are also the ones who are the first to sniff out a false accusation.
And quite a bit of that is fear. If they don't take immediate action, they open themselves up to lawsuits, disciplinary action from the department, etc. But if they overreact, and arrest then investigate, they are shielded by the fact that they were "acting in the interests of the community/society", so there isn't much the falsely arrested can do.
If we would just allow the police to do thier job before demanding an arrest, and actually let them investigate, and drop the "must arrest" policies, I think we would see a major drop in the numbers of false rape accusations/arrests.
