Detectives say Punta Gorda woman's reported car jacking and rape false

Another one where the police got it right during the investigation. It does make one wonder, just how many of these types of incidents we don't hear about, because they are deemed to be false, and so the investigation is closed, and nothing further need be done. However, once again, we need to start seeing the names of those who make these false allegations, if simply to protect anyone who may come in contact with her, and be falsely accused down the road.

Just one question. If it has been determined to be false, why does the investigation continue?

Unknown woman falsely cries rape and carjacking. Reasons unknown.

Charlotte County Sheriff’s Major Crimes detectives have determined that the 21-year-old Punta Gorda woman who reported Wednesday that she was carjacked and raped in the South Punta Gorda Heights area was providing false information.

Detectives said based on their investigation that this was neither a sexual assault nor a car jacking that involved a second person. No other details will be released at this time as the investigation continues.

"No other details will be released at this time as the investigation continues."

"Nothing to see here! Move along! And, above all, do not commit any of you are reading to memory."

Or so the message would seem to be.

Once again, another FRA has been exposed (and apparently a false car-jacking report as well), but little is being revealed publicly. Perhaps the police are intending to close the net on additional suspects (her accomplices) who they wouldn't want to give a "heads-up" to. That I could well accept.

However, this seems like so many other instance where there is simply a reluctance to report an FRA. But, at least they do openly declare it to be false.

BTW, I just thought of a question to ask here. When the FBI/DOJ compile their annual crime stats, they list reported crimes. Do instance such as this, where a rape is reported still reflect as reported rapes in the final statistical tally?

I know rape-culture feminists like to point out that the number of report rapes does not include some 40% to 60% of rapes believed to go unreported. So, conversely, how is it we know that even some reported rapes that are later determined to be false aren't still included? Or, more to the point, is there any indication that ANY rape reports are dropped from the count once they are determined to be false?

Now those are excellent questions. I believe, and I could be wrong, that they ARE counted into the totals for rapes, and then split into the false or unfounded category. It seems a dishonest way of inflating the numbers to me, IF that is what they do.

I just don't know for certain.

Slwerner,


Check out THIS.

It is from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Page 13 is the relevant page. Notice how it lumps False and Baseless complaints into the Unfounded category.

And that is the dishonesty of the "rape industry". They only use the "Reported" category, instead of the "Number of actual offenses". Which also means that the conviction percentage is actually higher than what they use, as they are dividing the total reported by the number of convictions, instead of the dividing the number of actual offenses.

But as anonymous stated in the first comment:

Women don't lie about rape, so we know their numbers are correct. /sarcasm off

The Archivist - "Women don't lie about rape, so we know their numbers are correct"

Now, in India, it's official. The Supreme Court there says so:

Supreme Court: Indian women won't make false rape claim

So, we cab pretty much just close down the site. "Women don't lie about rape - and if they do, it's rare - and, if they do, there's probably a really, really good reason for it...blah, blah, blah."

The Archivist said...

Yeah, that decision was an intelligent one. The White Knighters, of India's Supreme court really are a bunch of idiots. Chivalrous older men who, IMO, are really out of touch with just how far things have fallen. I liken them to the older men in western countries that have done the same thing (VAWA anyone?).
