Note to our readers about spam

I only activate comment moderation for new posts when we have a particularly heavy influx of trolls and blowhards. I have determined that I don't have time to respond to every blowhard and will only respond to trolls if my involvement presents a teaching moment. 

What I have discovered, however, is that making it easy to comment on this site has exposed older posts to spamming -- goofy ads that are unrelated to anything we're doing here.  I therefore have activated comment moderation for the non-current posts just to avoid having the site riddled with spam.

Rape girl 'confession' caught on camera

New evidence suggests a girl’s rape testimony, which sent three teenage boys to prison, may have been fabricated

A 16-year-old girl, whose allegation that she was raped at Fredericia train station resulted in the conviction of three teenage boys, unknowingly confessed on a hidden camera that she lied about the incident, according to public broadcaster DR.

The video was taped by one of the boy’s families and is presently being used as evidence in a Western High Court case to have the original convictions overturned. The girl is now being charged by police for fabricating the story.

In the video, the brother of one of the three boys approaches the girl and chats with her on a sofa. The video shows the girl flirting with the boy while he tries to draw the true explanation out of her of what actually happened at the station.

At one point while being filmed, the girl says she was not held down by two of the boys while the other raped her, as she testified in court. She added that the sex she had with the one boy was consensual.

The girl also said in the video that she made the accusations because she was angry at one of the boys. She added that it was unfortunate the two others were sentenced in the case, but said she couldn’t find any other way to get back at the one boy.

During the filming she said she would not recant her testimony for fear of being punished or ending up in a youth offender institution.

Oh, good heavens. What can I say about that one? This is why we have this site. I can't think of anything more cruel. This is worse than rape. Oh, my, oh, my!

I noticed the other story that sent 7 people to prison here in the U.S. and then the woman came out and recanted I have not heard anything else about.


So I guess even though she said she made it all up it's ok to let everyone serve out their sentences!
