A couple of interesting admissions by the police chief. Comments will be interspersed.
Police see rise in false reports. Will now start to pursue charges.
Police in Vermillion say they're wasting their time and resources investigating false reports that never wind up in court. Vermillion Police Chief Art Mabry says the department has seen a string of false reports lately and its taxing the department's resources.
Could it be, that because we see so many false accusations that result in no punishment, that this is the reason you have seen a string of fasle reports lately?
On Tuesday Mabry said an 18 year old was charged with making a false report to police after she said her ex-boyfriend was sending threatening text messages and was in Vermillion threatening to kill her.
A police investigation discovered the ex-boyfriend was in Nebraska and never sent any messages to the woman. The streets of Vermillion are typically quiet, so when officers hear about serious crimes they do everything they can to investigate those cases.
"If it's a true crime the evidence will point to that, if it's a false report we will figure it out," Vermillion Police Chief Art Mabry said. And recently the Vermillion Police Department has been receiving more false reports.
Based on this statement, it appears that the police are usually able to tell when a report is false. And yet, we always hear that the police don't do enough of an in depth investigation.
"It's typically people trying to get back at a spouse, a former relationship," Mabry said. Mabry says they've had rape cases reported that turned out to be nothing more than a dispute between a boyfriend and girlfriend.
"We're seeing where sexual assaults are reported to us and we find out that actually a boyfriend found out that a girlfriend was out with someone else, and rather than just dealing with it or talking about it the allegation all of a sudden becomes I was raped. Obviously we take those very seriously," Mabry said.
So, as we see so frequently on this site, to cover up infidelity, claim to be raped. Glad to see people taking responsibility for thier actions, by ruining another persons life.
Mabry says such serious allegations take a lot of resources from his department and take away from other legitimate cases that may turn out to be even more serious.
"I don't think people understand or realize the consequences of what happens here," Mabry said.
Which is why if the Vermillion Police Department finds anyone else making false reports, they say that person should be prepared to face the consequences.
"If we catch you, you're going to be charged. We haven't always charged this in the past but now that we're seeing such an increase in it you're going to start paying for your actions," Mabry said.
So, you had people breaking the law, that you allowed to walk away with no consequences. And now that you are seeing a rise in the number of false reports, you are now going to start charging people. Does it ever occur to law enforcement, that the reason you have seen such a rise in false reports is because you weren't imposing any consequences on those making the false reports?
Mabry says he doesn't want this warning to deter people from reporting actual crimes. But, if you know you're lying to authorities, he says, you will be charged.
Making a false report to police is a class one misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and two thousand dollar fine.
And what would be the penalty for the individual falsely accused of rape or sexual assault? I think it would be higher than that. Making a false report a felony, and actually pursuing charges against false accusers, would go a long way to lowering the amount of false accusations levied.

I live in a small city with a population of just over 110,000 people.
This city has a very large university, so there are many young people, and, as we know, most university students are now female.
In Friday's local paper, for this small city of 110,000 people, they were reporting on 3 separate rape trials proceeding in the local courts.
So far, in one of these trials, the Judge has directed the jury to acquit on the rape charge, leaving only an assault charge.
This was not an unusual week.
My case of course hasn't gone to trial (yet, in theory it still might, unlikely but still possible)
The bare statistics involved are frankly astonishing, especially when you plug in the national crime statistics.
50% of rape trials end in a conviction.
6% of reported rapes end in a conviction.
You get...
pop 110,000
let's say 60,000 are female
say 50 annual convictions, per year.
therefore 833 reported rapes, per year.
Take 75 year lifespan
75 x 833 = 62,475
Which means, EVEN EXCLUDING UNREPORTED ALLEGED RAPES....
EVERY SINGLE FEMALE IN THE CITY WILL GET RAPED ON AVERAGE 1.04 times in their life.
If *only* "1 in 4" women are getting raped, then those women are getting raped AT LEAST 4.165 separate times / perpetrators in their life.
You can work out yourself the amount of police, court, counselling and so forth time consumed by 833 reported rapes per year.
Also, if they all get the statutory 11k compo, that works out at just over 9 million UK Pounds Sterling every year paid out in compo.
You couldn't fucking make it up.

This police chief says he seeing a "rise in false rape reports".
I have concluded that the more "gender feminist" politically dominated areas of the country "The North East of the US", has more of the gender feminist / law enforcement misinformation ALLIANCE, and hence fosters and enables more false rape accusations.
It may very well be the more conservative states that "break this Alliance" first.
Anonymous - "It may very well be the more conservative states that "break this Alliance" first."
I'd like to think so. And, on it's face, it does make sense.
However...
The problem with more highly conserative states is, that while they may oppose gender-feminism, they also tend to practice way to much of that way outdated female-centric chivalry.
Someone else recently noted that in a Texas (very conservative), it was successfully argued that DNA results that excluded a convicted man still fell short of demonstrating (beyond any and all doubt) his innocence.
Chivalry ids the root problem which leads too many people (esspecially men) to beleive whatever a woman is claiming. The idea that women would never lie comes as much from the chivalrous manginas, as from the man-hating radical gender-feminists. Likewise, the over-empahsized desire to rally around and defend women percieved to have been harmed, and to seek retributive "justice" on thier behaves.
Chivalrous manginas often find it difficult to acknowledge any sort of female misbehavior. They don't like the emerfging evidence of increasing rates of female infidelity (which, too often, ends up in an FRA), which now sees young women catching up to, and perhaps even surpassing that of young men. Likewise, the manginas join with the feminists is trying to silence the truth about paternity fraud.
But, recently Slate and The New York Times both broached the subject of paternity fraud - much to the dismay of feminists and chivalrous manginas, who'd have prefered such inconvienient truths swept under the rug.
I'd like to think that the issue of FRA's might also be given treatment by a major MSM source. Perhaps the saga of William McCaffrey, victimized by Biurny Peguero Gonzalez's FRA will result in a NYT piece about the harm of FRA's. I'd like to think that it can, and will happen...someday. If one major outlet breaks ranks, and runs a sensational piece, others will follow. And, more of the public can be exposed to the very real harms done by FRA's.
Of course, this would be greatly enhanced if it came from normally liberal-leaning sources. Sadly, the more conservative outlets are going to be as likely as ever to just want to hush such stuff up.
"Which is why if the Vermillion Police Department finds anyone else making false reports, they say that person should be prepared to face the consequences.
"If we catch you, you're going to be charged. We haven't always charged this in the past but now that we're seeing such an increase in it you're going to start paying for your actions," Mabry said."
What? Is there some issue with the Statue of Limitations here? Why wait for "anyone else" - go ahead and charge those who you already caught making false allegations, and go after reparations. What's their defense going to be, "Nobody ever told me that I would have to pay for it if I committed a crime"?
Seriously!
It is pretty much up to men to grab the bull by the horns on this one. The reason we cannot expect women to help is not so much because they are 'liars' by nature or something; it is just that they tend to see things from a personal and emotional standpoint instead of from and objective one, one that is geared toward justice.
Very good and excellent points SlWerner and Norm. There is a time and place for everything. Chivalry does not belong in the courtroom nor should it be allowed to effect or affect how those in law enforcement carry out their duties. It should also have no place in the media when they report crimes, real or imagined, that are allegedly committed by or against a female or male. I am tired of reading/hearing all of the hype that results when a female claims to have been raped or assaulted, only to discover the accusation(s) are false, the "victim" is allowed to fade into the night and, the suffering of the falsely accused male is downplayed and/or minimalized. Chivalry is partly responsible for the double standards that our societies are plagued with. Feminist legal theories, metanarratives, mantras, and, shaming language are also responsible.
