Another one, and it raises questions similar to the one I just posted: see here. Here, police arrested a man despite the obvious possibility that the rape charge was made as leverage in a custody battle. Why didn't the police figure that out? Because they arrested first, asked questions later -- which is very common when it comes to rape claims. The most troubling aspect: the innocent man was arrested at his job, and "investigators began looking into Crider a few days later." Actually, three days later.
Did you get that?
This innocent man was permitted to have an awful rape charge hanging over his head for three days -- because investigators arrested first, investigated later.
There is something terribly wrong with a society that permits this. Something just awful. And it's why we do what we do.

Woman arrested for allegedly falsely accusing man of rape
A custody dispute turned nasty led to a North Platte woman being arrested for allegedly falsely accusing the father of her children of rape.
Jessica Crider, 25, 1115 N. Bailey, was arrested Friday, Jan. 8 and charged with false reporting, tampering with a witness, and bribery of a witness after an interview with an investigator at the Public Safety building.
The arrest stemmed from an incident Crider allegedly fabricated Dec. 18. According to police at that time, Crider came into the police station that morning and said that Bradley McCartney, 27, raped her when she was over at his house that morning.
At the time, a police spokesperson declined to discuss why she was over at the house. The Bulletin has since learned that Crider was picking up her children as part of the couple's shared custody.
McCartney was arrested at his job the next day.
Lt. Mike Swain told the Bulletin Monday that investigators began looking into Crider a few days later, on Dec. 22.
Swain said the police became aware of phone conversations that he said indicated that the sexual assault never occurred and that Crider fabricated it to gain the upper hand in the custody case.
The county attorney’s office confirmed that while McCartney was arrested for first-degree sexual assault, no formal charges were ever levied against him.
Crider was held on $10,000 bond according to the Clerk of the County Court’s Office, who reported she bonded out over the weekend.

Oops! I didn't see that this story was also posted, so I commented on the previous thread.
Oh well, that's what cut-n-paste is for...
So, the man was accused in a bid to gain the upper-hand in a custody dispute - and was arrested at his job.
I always suspect hat such arrests are made with he intent of causing the maximum humiliation and credibility damage possible. Why not wait for him outside, at the end of his workday; or, simply go to his home? Because they want a public display so as to shame him - for something he never even did.
Did they arrest the women Jessica Crider, at her job site? Did they handcuff her and forcibly haul her off-premises? $20 says she was allowed to "self-surrender", quietly and in private.
She the criminal, and every effort is made to protect HER reputation.
Hey! How 'bout some of that equality stuff?
Better yet, how about waiting to make sure an arrested is warranted?
I think a lot of it works like this...
1/ rape (or other crime) is reported to police.
2/ police say "fuck it, my shift ends in 7 hours, screw the paperwork" do it tomorrow.
3/ tomorrow comes, serious crime so police start as they mean to go on, on overtime.
4/ most convenient / cushy for the police is to do everything from their desk, so arrest everyone, seize everything, the back to the station, and start racking those hours up.
5/ next few days continue like this, everything being done for maximum benefit (overtime scheduling) and comfort (nice warm office with comfy chair) of the police in question.
6/ Eventually the reported crime in question has seen them through another week, and generated enough cushy overtime to buy that new mobile phone.

The modern perversion of our legal system..stems from the fact that local police jurisdictions can now "cash in" (VAWA dollars)..on keeping the women as victim hysteria going at the blinding pace that it is currently at.
This perversion enables violent women.
Anybody care to bet on how her arrest affects the custody case? I'm certain that it won't negatively affect her, even if she's convicted, so long as the most likely sentence, probation, is what she gets. That she made the charge for leverage in the custody dispute won't matter a whit to the family court judge.
Randian,
No bet. It's entirely possible, that if she gets a custodial sentence, that once she has served it, she will go back and petition for full custody (and may get it).
The fact that family court does this is both disgusting, and vile.
She was already on probation at the time of her arrest, violating that probation. I don't know if even that will negatively affect her chances at custody, courts seem to favor mothers no matter the circumstance.
