A two for one story. 2 false claims in the space of 3 days. I'm hoping our UK readers can fill us in on if a Reprimand will carry any weight, such as being on their CBR?
TWO women have been reprimanded by police for making false claims of rape and sexual assault.
Following police enquires, two alleged incidents on Lord Street have proved to be unsubstantiated.
On Friday, September 24, a woman claimed she had been attacked in an alleyway next to the HSBC bank.
And, in the early hours of Sunday morning, another woman said she had been assaulted near to Barclay’s bank.
Detective Inspector Lee Turner, from Merseyside Police's Unity Team, said: “The two women who have made these false reports have been reprimanded for their behaviour and now realise that there are severe penalties for making false allegations of sexual assault and for wasting police time.
"The false allegations would undoubtedly have caused considerable concern to the community of Southport and we would like to reassure the public that these incidents did not happen.
“Southport is a safe place to visit and to enjoy a good night out."
He added: "We take all reports of offences extremely seriously and those who make false claims are committing a criminal offence.
“Anyone who is thinking of making a false report should be warned that we won't hesitate to take action against them.”

Hey wait a minute here, I hear all the time that women NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, lie about rape??
If in fact women do lie about rape, and society is told that women would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, lie about rape; this dynamic then leads to women "(being believed)" when they say they have been raped, when in fact they ""no rape"" occurred.
Ooh, a reprimand. That'll show them! I'm sure future false accusers of rape are quaking in their pumps at the thought of being the subject of a penalty-free reprimand.
UK Police have the option to issue a Caution.
This stays on your record and counts in many ways as a conviction, but not jail time or fine or other punishments such as injunctions.
Once cautioned the putative 2nd offence then becomes a slam dunk, go to Court, get convicted, probably go to jail depending on the offence.
"Reprimand" *could* just be sloppy reporting, or it *could* be data protection or some such shit, or it could just be what it says, a verbal telling off and fuck all else.

sounds like a bullshit telling off...
Im watching the mass hysteria unfold on the news about the "mass date rape drug case in washington"; and its a little of topic here, but it is quite baffling to me that American media is so dominated by perverts that they go from one "false rape accusation" to the next "mass date rape false accusation", to the next "false gang rape accusation", to the next............
WTF is up with all the perverts, and their perverted reports that now dominate American news outlets?? We go seamlessly from one false gang rape accusation, to the next mass date rape drug false rape accusation.
WTF??? What has news reporting in America regressed into??? A bunch of pigs looking see where the next "squeal" is coming from so they can flock around the squeal and report on it in the main stream media.
You cannot get a media reporting job in the united states unless you are a staunch Gender/Raunch architect and constructionist. The news media is now the dominant vehicle that constructs the "American paradigm", and they have a responsibility to uphold to the public that they are not upholding. When the so called ??news??? regresses into faulty and inflammatory agitation propaganda published over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, thats when these ??news??? sources should be on their way out.
American news media go from one false rape rape accusation, to the next false gang rape accusation, to the next mass date rape accusation..quite seamlessly.
So seamlessly its disturbing!!
