Woman charged with making false complaint to Sex Crimes Squad

Sex Crimes Squad detectives have charged a woman after she allegedly made a false complaint to police in September last year.


Just after 11am today, police issued a 22-year-old woman with a Future Court Attendance Notice in relation to charges including public mischief and three counts of making a false statement.

The charges relate to extensive investigations conducted by police into an alleged home invasion and sexual assault at a home in Croydon on Saturday 25 September, 2010.

The investigation also related to reports of an assault on a child also inside the home, aged 3-months at the time.

Sex Crimes Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent John Kerlatec said, “The NSW Police Force takes very seriously all reports of sexual assault and all matters are investigated thoroughly.

“It is however, a waste of police resources and time when false reports are made to police by members of the public.

“Extensive resources and police time were dedicated to investigating this claim.

“While police encourage all victims to report incidents of sexual assault, false reports are a waste of police resources and time and detract from the ability of police to investigate legitimate claims,” Supt Kerlatec said.

Strike Force Shephard comprises detectives from the State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad and was established to investigate the allegations.

The radio and TV ad campaigns
say "every 2.5 nanoseconds a women is sexually assaulted."

That has got to be hard to compete with.

Hmm: "every 2.5 nanoseconds a women is sexually assaulted."

We should do a similar ad re: false claims.

The only way to return integrity to the rape accusation, and to stem off a now "Culture of false rape accusations", is to return to charging false rape accusers.

S,

I know you mean well, but...there are just so many things that you don't seem to understand very well - history being just one example.

There has NEVER been a time during which women faced charges for making false allegations - of anything. Thus, it would be impossible to "return" to doing so.

Woman have been making false allegations for millenia (we know of Potiphar's wife, for example), but have never been held accountable for having done so.

It would be hard to ignore the reality that this is largely because, until relatively recently, no effort was made to verify the veracity of their allegations. Uncovering FRA's is something that's only been going on for a relatively short time.

It's impossible to know how many innocent men down through history were throw in prison, or, more likely, killed outright, based on a woman's FRA – without so much as an after-thought to the possibility that she had lied.

Woman have evolved to “cheat” on their partners (a long discussion that’s been hashed and rehashed all over the “Manosphere”, so I won’t try to detail it here), which includes the ability to be very effective liars so as to cover their tracks, and keep themselves alive. There is no way of knowing how often women who feared their infidelities were about to be exposed have cried rape, because they were believed. Even men who might have doubted their wives veracity were never-the-less inclined to let her lie stand (publicly), rather than have to face the shame of people knowing his wife had willfully cuckolded him.

How many duel’s were fought over some woman’s “honor” for that very reason?

And, it certainly cannot be a secret that women are master manipulators. Thus, if a woman had a serious issue with some man, what better way to “punish” him than to falsely accuse him of some impropriety (including rape), leaving it to other men to do her “dirty work”?

These are considerations you conveniently “gloss over” in your attempt to bolster your pet theory that the “false rape culture” is a product solely of law enforcement.

The simple reality is that “false rape culture” has likely been around as long as crying rape has been a benefit to women. We've only just begun to recognize it relatively recently.
