Police: Ilion woman lied about abduction, sexual assault

A 24-year-old Ilion woman has been charged with lying to police about being abducted and sexually assaulted earlier this week, village police said.

Eve Marie Stevens, of East North Street, was charged Thursday with knowingly making a punishable false written statement, a misdemeanor, police said.

Stevens allegedly reported to police on Tuesday that she had been forcibly abducted and sexually assaulted earlier that day, police said.

But following an investigation, police said, Stevens admitted to police two days later that she had in fact intentionally lied and gave a false written statement to police because she was angry over comments that another person had said to her.

Police did not release the name of the male individual whom Stevens had wrongfully accused.

Stevens was released on a ticket to appear in Ilion Village Court on Tuesday.

The cops did not release the name of the (falsely) accused. That's amazing and a good sign.

Breaking Bad: The Male as Designated Criminal
Submitted by Matt on Tue, 2010-12-21 03:03.
From A Voice for Men, here:

'In her 1989 book, Defining Rape, feminist author Linda Brookover Bourque argued for a shift in the burden of proof in rape cases to the defense, which would entail that the defense establish, with a preponderance of evidence, that it was most likely that a woman alleging rape against her gave clear assent to engage in sex. This argument is made on page 178 of her book.

This is not an argument in favor of men obtaining consent before having sex. No, she means to alter the principal of western jurisprudence in which the accused is innocent until proven guilty through evidentiary proceedings. Bourque proposes a new, improved system in which for accusations of rape, guilt is assumed by the court, and the accused must present overwhelming evidence of innocence.

Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted in 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly by unanimity, describes the principle of presumption of innocence as follows:

Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a public trial at which he/or she has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.
...
One question which springs to mind is, will feminist ideologues shaping the retooling of western law flinch at the subjugation of their brothers, fathers, and sons? I suspect the answer is no. But do feminist scholars and law makers recognize the consequences of rendering a social class who have traditionally been problem solvers, inventors, philosophers and shapers of their surroundings into legislated criminals by identity?

To that I suspect the answer is also: no.'.

A little off topic but very important.
I was told that a girl i know has 7 ???Rape kits??? (maybe more by now)on the shelf at the local "rape crisis center".
She's collecting these sperm loads to wait to spring them on the man (years after he can no longer protect himself),if one of her "collected loads" ever comes into money.
This is a barbaric perversion of our legal system that enables this PERVERSION, I REPEAT, PERVERSION BY PERVERTS!!!

I say, the loudest "American Gender / Raunch feminists" are lesbians, and do not have the capacity to empathize with heterosexual families.

Sick, Gender / Raunch pigs have fostered a culture where girls can be paid cash for amassing ??rape kits?? to fill the shelves at their local "Rape crisis center". Girls can be paid cash to swab semen out of their vaginas after every sexual intercourse, the girls can say it was forced (when it wasn't) and be paid cash dollars to fill the shelves with supposed ??rape kits??? so when the "rape crisis centers" need funds they parade misguided, simpleton male through these centers to see all the ??rape kits??on the walls, and the girls that need more money say there is a "rape crisis"; when in fact its a crisis of paying the same girls over, and over, and over to go out and collect sperm loads to put on the shelf.
These centers are now totally anonymous, cause if they were not anonymous, there might be a few responsible males coming through (very rare but their may be), that would conclude that paying the same girls over and over and over to go out and collect sperm loads to fill the shelves of these "Rape crisis centers" is a perverted use of state and federal dollars.
A perverted use of state and federal dollars that "Empowers" perverts!!

” But following an investigation, police said, Stevens admitted to police two days later that she had in fact intentionally lied and gave a false written statement to police because she was angry over comments that another person had said to her.”

Looks like we can add “being angry over comments made” to the growing list of frivolous reasons for which false rape claims are made.

If the situation today where still as it was five years ago, this would be truly scary for men. A woman could just get pissed off and make a false claim, and a guy could get arrested and his name smeared.

Fortunately, things seem to be changing for the better. Here, we see that while she apparently named the man she was accusing as her attacker, not only was he not arrested, they did their jobs correctly and investigated first. And, another good sign:

”Police did not release the name of the male individual whom Stevens had wrongfully accused.”

It would seem that the police (at least some of them) are beginning to catch-on that women use such false accusation based a desire for revenge, and that, when they release the names of the falsely accused, they play right into the hands of those women – the effects of being publicly named are quite often far worse than any legal consequences, with even men fully cleared of any wrong-doing by police investigation will still bear the “stench” of the accusation for years to come.

By not releasing the man’s name, police here have denied this woman her desired revenge. Hopefully, more police departments will begin to see examples such as the one provide here by the Ilion police, and will follow suit.

Also, the woman is being charged, although, in NY, it will only be an misdemeanor charge (better than no charges for us glass-half-full types).

Facing punishment for making false reports is but one way to help reduce FRA’s (although, if felony charges could be brought, it would be a very effective deterannt); but, as we can see from this example, another way to help reduce FRA’s would be to take away the power women posses in making them by refusing to publicly name men based only on their word, as well as by not arresting men without investigating first.

As an aside, I would like to appeal to any members of Law Enforcement who might be reading the accounts of FRA’s detailed on this site to find a way to give some feed-back on their impressions of reality brought forward here.

While I can understand the concerns that any input might be traced back to them personally, I’d suggest that they could avoid Google and Blogger by either sending comments via email (contact info to the upper-right), or by having a trusted friend relay their thoughts to us.

I’m primarily interested in finding out to what extend the information disseminated here is actually affecting those officer who deal directly with such cases. Has learning of the prevalence of FRA’s, the harm done to innocent victims of FRA’s, and or the perceptions of LE role in the issue had a noticeable effect on the way officers might now chose to conduct themselves during the course of dealing with reports of sexual assaults?

If the officer is in any way reasonable and compassionate, then the answer would almost certainly be yes.
