The two news reports below are remarkable, frightening, and infuriating, all at once. British men vacationing on the Island of Kos are being warned to be on their guard against a Swedish false rape accuser -- but the British newspapers will not even print her name. And, yes, they know her name because she's made police reports where she's falsely accused at least four men.
Imagine if a serial rapist were on the loose who had raped four women, and women were being told to be on their guard -- but newspapers weren't allowed to print the rapist's name or publish his picture. How do you think that would be accepted?
Newsflash: it would be a hell of a lot easier for men to guard against this threat to them if it wasn't anonymous.
Further, we often hear from persons bent on minimizing the false rape problem that women have no incentive to lie about rape. In fact, every study on the subject shows that women lie about rape for all manner of reasons, even financial. This anonymous serial false accuser has claimed £166,500 in insurance money each time. By my calculations, that's equivalent to $264,217.66 times four -- over $1 million. When we pay women to cry "rape" (and it's not just insurers: Britain, India and presumably other countries also compensate women who make rape claims), the threat to innocent men and boys is greatly enhanced.
One man in the story printed below was arrested and held in jail for four days because of her lie. He had to post £2,000 bail before the case collapsed because the woman fled the country. He is still waiting for the money to be returned. Why can't he get his money back? Well, the authorities need the accuser to sign "acceptance of the court decision" so the innocent man can get back his bail money. Yes, you read that correctly. We have just tumbled down the rabbit hole.
One can only imagine what further indignities could possibly be inflicted on men and boys falsely accused of rape. And if any other demographic, aside from dreaded males, had been targeted by this woman, would they so sheepishly just accept it without being outraged?
NEWS REPORT NUMBER ONE:
Britons 'trapped in false rape sting by blonde Swede on Greek island’
A Swedish woman has falsely accused several British tourists of raping her as part of an insurance scam, a Greek lawyer claims.
Men have been warned to be on their guard after the 26-year-old woman claimed a total of €800,000 (£666,315) in insurance after lodging allegations of rape on the island of Kos.
It is believed that her victims include at least four Britons, according to a lawyer representing one of the falsely accused.
An international hunt involving Greek and Swedish police and Interpol has failed to find the woman, described as an attractive blonde.
Ross Mitchell, a teacher from Nottinghamshire, met his accuser in Kos in June 2008. He was jailed and forced to pay £2,000 bail before the case collapsed because the woman fled the country. He is still waiting for the money to be returned.
He met her in Kardamena, a busy resort popular with young Britons.
It is believed Mr Mitchell was working in a bar when they met. She claimed he tried to rape her in her hotel room.
Mr Mitchell, who denied all allegations, was arrested, charged and held in custody while police investigated.
In her initial complaint, she said she could identify him only from the smell of his sweat and his hairstyle.
She then fled to her native Sweden and failed to attend a subsequent magistrates’ court hearing. It is believed that she denies the allegation of making false claims.
According to the Greek media, she was involved in “organised fraud” and was “fabricating charges of being raped so that she could draw large amounts of insurance as compensation”.
Mr Mitchell was freed on bail before the case was formally dropped. His lawyer, Alcybiades Hajantonis, said Swedish authorities disclosed that she had pulled the scam on at least three other occasions, claiming €200,000 (£166,500) each time.
Mr Mitchell said yesterday he was “stunned” to be told that the woman was a serial con artist. He said: “I had no idea there were allegations she had done this to other men.”
His father, Les, said the case had been a “nightmare” for his son.
Being a teacher he doesn’t really want all this publicised,” he said. “Even a false accusation can ruin a career. It’s certainly affected him.
“The whole thing was a load of rubbish from start to finish, but the police took it seriously and he ended up in jail. Then they let her slip through their fingers and disappear and as far as I’m aware haven’t been able to catch her since.”
Mr Hajantonis, who is based on Kos, said: “We have been trying to find the accuser so she can sign acceptance of the court decision so Mr Mitchell can get back his bail money.
“In the process, I contacted Interpol and Swedish police to find her, only to be informed that she has made three similar rape claims and earned an additional €600,000 in compensation. Swedish authorities cannot find her and we still can’t get back the bail money. She obviously does this on a systematic basis”.
Greek police said there appeared to be an increasing number of false rape claims at Greek holiday resorts.
They blamed the notoriety that British holidaymakers had developed for getting drunk and raping or sexually assaulting women.
A police spokesman said: “This may be yet another case of a woman claiming rape to get compensation, because British men are so often arrested on such charges.”
Mr Hajantonis said: “What has surprised me is that insurance companies seem to pay up the money, without waiting for a verdict.”

NEWS REPORT NUMBER TWO:
British teacher on holiday accused of rape by woman ‘who preys on tourists’
A teacher was arrested and held in a Greek jail after being falsely accused of rape by a woman his lawyer alleged preyed on tourists to claim hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation.
Ross Mitchell, 34, met his Swedish accuser when she worked alongside him in a bar on the holiday isle of Kos 2008.
He has told friends their relationship went no further than a 'mild flirtation'.
But he was arrested after the woman told police she woke to find him in her bed after he forced entry to her apartment.
Mr Mitchell, who was born in Derbyshire but now lives in London, was arrested and spent four days behind bars before his family paid £2,000 bail to secure his release.
The supply teacher's Greek lawyer, Alcybiades Hajantonis, yesterday claimed the woman disappeared after making the allegation. But he alleged she had previously pocketed nearly £500,000 (600,000 euros) by cashing in insurance policies on up to three previous alleged rapes.
He said the policies were apparently taken out to cover victims of attack.
He said the information came from the Kos prosecutor's office, which he believes had been passed to the information from Swedish authorities.
Last night the woman involved categorically denied receiving any money from the Mitchell case or any other.
Mr Hajantonis added: 'We have been trying to find the accuser so she can sign acceptance of the court decision so Mr Ross can get back his money.
'Swedish authorities cannot find her and we still can't get back the bail money. She obviously does this on a systematic basis.'
Mr Mitchell would not comment yesterday. But a source close to him said: 'Ross co- operated fully with the police in Greece. He didn't have sex with this girl and says that their relationship did not go beyond a "mild flirtation". He's worried about how this will all go down with the schools who employ him.'
Interpol and Swedish police were unavailable for comment last night.

My false rape accuser was also a serial false rape accuser. I was the second guy she falselly accused of raping her in that same year. My false rape accuser also got a chunk of victim funds that she never had to pay back.
You see gender feminists get most of their "Empowerment" from rape hysteria, and they will fight tooth and nail to keep the truth about the real percentages of (true accusations versus false accusations), from the publics eye.
Why won't they print her name? If she went to police, wouldn't they also have her picture?
I don't understand how the scam works. Who's insurance is paying her? Her own? And why would they fall for that more than once?
Can the men sue the city and police force for withholding funds that have been proven to have been taken illegally, not to mention falsely holding him?
If men are held with no evidence other than the woman's word, is there a recourse to sue the city or LE agency that held them without reason?
If possible, making it cost the government to not address this problem might make them more reasonable.
Anonymous - "Why won't they print her name? If she went to police, wouldn't they also have her picture?"
The media choose what it will do (within the law) regardless of what any local authorities may do.
Archivist - "...but the British newspapers will not even print her name. And, yes, they know her name because she's made police reports where she's falsely accused at least four men."
As Pierce states, it is the press, not local LE which is keeping her name quiet.
Anyway, I think a number of us saw this sort of scam coming. We've discussed the possibility of women make FRA for the sole purpose of collecting victims assistance.
We had one concrete example last year when a woman admitted having sex with a man at a train station in England, then submitting a false report to collect money (in that case, video saved the guy's butt from prison - double entendre intended).
Then, when the Indian government announce substantial victims assistance for merely claiming to have been raped, it seemed likely that there would be numerous FRA's by women simply looking to get their hands on money [certainly, if such amounts were to be given in the US or UK, it would be a "sure bet" that women would be looking for such easy money]
I'd suggest that here we have yet another example - using insurance (first I've heard of rape insurance. Must be something bundled in with travel insurance?).
Yet, like false auto theft claims,
it becomes a (what is considered to be a serious) felony - fraud. Not only LE, but the insurance companies then get involved.
How an insurance company could think that it could issue such policies without the likelihood of fraud simply astounds me. A case like this might make companies rethink the idea (another way FRA hurt real victims).
Update to unrelated story (about a supposed rape, which new information indicates was really a matter of a womans infidelity and the murder of her husband):
Back in July on the "Deleted messages from iPhone spare falsely accused man from rape charge", and unnamed troll posted this comment about a woman in Iran supposedly sentenced to death for being raped:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/01/saudi-arabia-rape-victim-now-faces-100-lashes-for-the-crime-of-being-raped.html
"Until this is a thing of the past women in the West will always feel like they are victims of the gender bias."
Clearly, the intent was to shame us about even worrying about false rape accusations when women in other parts of the world are suffering for rape, and injustices in it's aftermath.
But, it turns out (if this news account is true), that she wasn't raped, nor was she charged with being raped; but, rather, she was found to have been involved in an extra-martial affair at the time her husband was killed so that she and her lover could be together [which is something routinely discovered happening throughout he western world as well, so it's quite believable]:
"Her initial sentence was for "having an illicit relationship outside marriage", but Iranian officials have claimed that she was also found guilty of murdering her husband and should still face death by stoning.
On Friday, senior Iranian judicial official Mossadegh Kahnemoui told the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination: "This lady, in addition to double adultery, is also found guilty of conspiracy to murder her husband.""
"During a court hearing, a judge ordered that Mr Green be released on a 500 US dollar bond, "
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/190308/Innocent-man-freed-after-27-years
He was discovered to be innocent but, he or his loved ones were extorted for mony?
Another victim in the global war against men/males.
"The media choose what it will do (within the law) regardless of what any local authorities may do."
Perhaps, but their choice still doesn't make any sense.
"An international hunt involving Greek and Swedish police and Interpol has failed to find the woman, described as an attractive blonde."
I'm no expert on tracking fugitives, but perhaps releasing her name and picture might be more fruitful than looking for an attractive blonde in Sweden.
Let's just hope she doesn't have an accomplice in Japan, otherwise they'll be looking for someone with straight black hair who may be carrying a camera.
"They blamed the notoriety that British holidaymakers had developed for getting drunk and raping or sexually assaulting women."
Has it even occurred to them that they might be false claims as well?
Friends, one or our most esteemed readers wrote that he had a comment deleted -- I couldn't believe it because he does NOT get deleted here. Sure enough, this is the comment (I pull it from the automatic email that I get for all the comments -- unfortunately, it doesn't have the links -- copy and paste the links). I don't know how this got deleted, but I can tell you that it wasn't done manually:

P.S. the esteemed reader whose comments are never deleted here is slwerner.
Is anyone else seeing comments disappear? If so, it's not us -- we're not deleting them.
Friends, Google/Blogger is eating comments today. I have no idea why, and we lost a comment by slwerner -- and then when I retrieved it from our auto email dispatch and reposted it under my name, we lost it AGAIN.
Sorry to all this is happening to today.
So a woman accuses someone of raping her and the accused is questioned, then arrested (or is it arrested then questioned?) and is to stay in jail until they investigate and figure out whether the charge can stick? That doesn't even sound right.
Basically, immediately hold you in jail until they can substantiate an accusation?

YES. The rule requiring corroboration has been essentially flipped on its head. Now, the prosecution doesn't need corroborating evidence, the ACCUSED does -- if he wants to be let out of jail. And the corroborating evidence had better not be a male friend because that's as good as nothing.
Not all males are under attack. In fact the femi-nazi construction just attacks and villifies the hetero-sexual males.

Is this really legal? Or has it become some kind of adopted practice? What law would say this?
"Is this really legal? Or has it become some kind of adopted practice? What law would say this?"
The thinking goes that since a rape conviction can occur based on nothing more than the testimony of the woman/girl who cries rape, just let the jury sort out who's telling the truth. A rape charge becomes a sort of crapshoot where law enforcement is willing to "take its chances" because it might "get lucky" and get a conviction.
This, of course, is as wrong as can be. The proper way to handle a rape claim is the way the Roethlisberger claim was handled -- there, the accuser's narrative was a moving target, and the prosecutor decided that the QB was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt so no charges were brought.
Sadly, we see too often law enforcement willing to play Russian Roulette with young men's lives in the hopes of "getting lucky." Based on nothing more than a woman's/girl's say-so.
"Swedish authorities cannot find her and we still can’t get back the bail money."
Ha Ha Ha! I've heard this before. A New Zealand man's child was kidnapped by the Swedish mother and spirited away back to her native Sweden. He won the case to have the child returned, but 'Swedish authorities couldn't find her'. So he went to Sweden himself and found her within a day or two.
'Swedish authorities can't find her' is Swedish-English for 'Swedish authorities are not looking'.
"'Swedish authorities can't find her' is Swedish-English for 'Swedish authorities are not looking'."
Considering how ridiculously feminist Sweden is, that might be true.
