Teenager makes false gang rape accusation, gets a stern warning

The kidnapping and gang rape complaint made by an 18-year-old girl on Friday turned out to be false.
The police said the girl had planned to blackmail the four men she had accused of raping her. Though the police arrested the teenager, they let her off later with a “stern warning”.

“On Friday evening we received a call from the Delhi Police about kidnapping of a girl from Great India Place Mall area. Immediately police teams traced the Scorpio car and nabbed two suspected kidnappers and recovered the girl. The girl told the police that the two other men, who were with the accused, had run away,” said R.N. Mishra, Deputy Superintendent of Police.

“The medical examination of the girl revealed no sign of injury at her private parts and no semen was found. Though rape was ruled out in the medical examination, the girl continued to claim she was gangraped,” said Mishra.

The girl had told the police that she had come for a job interview but the four men raped her in the car.

The DSP said, “The address given by her was found to be fake. Her sister came from Ghaziabad but she claimed she was her cousin. On detailed interrogation, she revealed her family was facing some financial problem and she was in need of Rs 50,000. She confessed that she made kidnapping and gang rape complaint to extract money.”

“She was handed over to her sister. Though she could have been booked for giving wrong complaint, she was let off with just a stern warning,” said Mishra.

The consensus in the west -- with the possible exception of the UK, strangely enough -- seems to be that false rape accusers are entitled to at least one free ride.

This is like letting a serial rapist off with a warning. But we have the resources to go after Roman Polanski!

So basically the girl confessed to filing a false rape complaint AND blackmail which is a felony but yet the cops didn't turn this over to the prosecutor.Normally, prosecutors love these cases where the suspect confesses because that's an easy win for them. A confession is always the best evidence they can get. So what's the problem here with these cops?

Anonymous - "The consensus in the west -- with the possible exception of the UK, strangely enough -- seems to be that false rape accusers are entitled to at least one free ride."

Given it's overly generous compensation to any woman claiming to have been raped, India had already secured it's place as the "Worst of the West" for false rape promotion (whether or not India is a part of the "West" is not clear, but they certainly creep ever closer).

A "stern warning", eh? Sounds like she damned lucky not to have gotten a slap on the wrist, given that she was accusing them of kidnapping and gang rape - likely long-term, if not life sentences in India.

And, once again, I'm going to take this opportunity to again suggest that when it comes to the classification of "violent stranger kidnap/rape", there may be just as many falsified cases as actual ones.

On several occasions, as I have noted previously, when a story of a kidnap/rape has turned out to be falsified (not "unsubstantiated", but confessed as false), I done a search via the local news website (the linked story on FRS) to check for other recent rape reports in their archives. In almost every instance where I've checked, in the preceding six month period, there were either no other reported rapes, or one lone report, usually within a week or two of the falsified one (copycat?).

I have speculated that this is do to the necessity for women seeking to cover up illicit activities to claim a kidnap/rape (a woman isn't going to tell her husband or boyfriend that she "hooked-up" with a guy who took it too far, after all).

Here, in the story above, we see yet another reason why a woman would fabricate a kidnap/rape scenario - a violent stranger rape is going to be a better claim if she's seeking to blackmail her victims. This is also likely true if she is intending to seek "victims" compensation - even though they will not be asked to justify there request, they will still likely feel compelled to tell a story "worthy" of compensation. (remember the women in England who lured a man into a train station restroom for sex so that she could claim to have been abducted and raped so as to get such compensation?).

Of course, it is just my theory, and my opinion. If someone is lurking out there with a possible refutation of my suggests, I'd be glad to see it.

I would say that when it comes to "violent stranger kidnap/rape" there are more falsified cases than actual ones, however when it comes to "acquaintance/boyfriend/husband/ex/rape" there are way more falsified cases than actual ones.

Allow me to put it another way, "violent stranger kidnap/rape", albeit a relatively rare occurrence, has a history of established cases going back hundreds of years. Otoh, "acquaintance/boyfriend/husband/ex/rape" was cooked up by feminist kooks about forty years ago.
