Can you keep us updated on the George Washington student's case? The actions taken against him seem egregious.
Yes, Freedom. Will do our very best.

I agree that it is an important case. If you are wondering why we haven't seen more like it, it's probably because bringing such a suit further damages the name of the accused, with more mentions that he was found guilty of sexual assault. That, and reports of sexual assault on college campuses aren't that common in the first place.
@Archivist
Thanks!
@Anon:
I believe there are probably many such cases that are hard to find. I remember FRS reporting on a New Hampshire student and College of William and Mary student who brought similar cases, but I tried googling yesterday and was not able to find documents on those cases. I think there are ways to keep the cases quiet and out of the public eye.
I think you are right though. I found maybe 20 or so cases related to sexual misconduct on the FIRE website. I believe there are more that FIRE has helped out with privately. I also believe that more students would go to FIRE seeking help if FIRE kept the names of those accused in such cases anonymous.
The biggest weakness of those standing against false accusations is that the only way to avoid defamation is for everyone who has ever been falsely accused or threatened of being falsely accused needs to come out of the closet about it in a unified stand.
In the near future, radfems will be able to point to new statistics and claim how sexual assault on campus is being "proven" based on the number of convictions of males by the school boards. We here know it is bs yet the mass media, politicians, and others will loudly use the kangaroo courts as new proofs.
Over the past couple years, there have been even more changes to the definitions of domestic violence to include various types of absurd emotional and verbal disrespect, and persuasion (manipulation?) of the other person.
These new categories can all add onto the statistical claims of the radfems how it is all so bad bad bad for innocent women.
Stephen Covey wrote how when someone picks-up one end of the stick the other end rises too. I wonder if the forces of progressive thinking have thought through the consequences of their actions?
I just read an article on gang rape written by the survivor. I have to tell you that it rings true. I even tried to justify her motivation. So before you wonder why people (men and women) don't report rape, please read the article. I think you can find it by looking up fraternity gang rape.
Anon at 7:16, I appreciate your note, and I believe that many people don't report their rapes for a variety of reasons. No one knows the extent of underreporting, or if it equals the overreporting (false claims) we cover here.
While gang rape may not always be reported, group sex is all too often falsely reported as gang rape. The reasons for this are obvious: see here: http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-avoid-false-rape-charge.html
In any event, your comment is off-topic. We are dedicated to a very serious and real problem that is ignored almost everywhere else. The seriousness of false rape claims is in no manner lessened by the fact that some actual rapes are not reported -- or by the fact that puppies are cute, the sky is blue and the ocean is vast. All of those things are impertinent to our mission.
The last big battle with false rape accusations that America had to deal with, was the Rape lynchings of the black man.
But guess what folks, Americans didn't or could not deal with it. In fact it was Russia that was disgusted at the violence that was happening in America. Some of the most brutal and barbaric crimes in America were Rape lynching.
America was so entrenched in the mass hysteria de jour that was "manufactured by the mass media", that no one would stand up to the Klan like hysteria of the day...So as a matter of fact..It was Russian communists that retained a jewish lawyer to stand up for the innocent "scottsborro boys". The scottsborro boys was turning point in American mass hysteria.
America is once again in the grips of "the hystera", and once again main stream media outlets are fostering and promulgating the faulty and inflammatory misinformation.
Perversion, ( this time federally funded) has once again festered its sickness into American law enforcement, to where truth takes a back seat once again to "hysteria".
The question is, If America is once again dominated by a perversion that very few dare to stand up against, will there be outside forces that will again retain a lawyer? Who will fight against such a massive organized perversion of the American justice system?
Its sad when Pervert politicians dominate American politics.
Its sad when American law enforcement neglect the fundamental principle of truth, in order to "bloat their budgets" with federal pork.
Someone needs to file a legal action against the "first perversion", which is the perversion of American law enforcement. American law enforcement are not qualified to pervert their protocol, and engage in semantics games to "Send different messages" to the public. Their fucking job is law enforcement, and not sending fuckin perverted messages.
It sure has been enlightening reading this blog for the last year.
I come to see the headlines of those who got it worse than I did.
Looks like there are going to be vast amounts of those men now with the new guilty until proven innocent rules.
Good call on the impertinence.
I do believe you guys are getting tougher and tougher, good, you will need to be that way.
Wow, I'm surprised the student is still considered "John Doe" at this point. My guess is that the university knows they're in a bad spot and don't want him to increase his claims against them by releasing his name.
""The sad truth is, until men take responsibility for the actions of our gender, this problem is not going to go away.""
Should we call on blacks to make sure that other blacks aren't stealing cars and snorting crack?
“Lowering of the standard of proof is absolutely crucial to the women’s community.”
What the heck is the "women's community"? Is that just the women at the college or does that include the 3 billion women on Earth. It shows why anti-male feminism makes so much progress. Women, as much as they often dislike each other, are ultimately able to see themselves as a group, a special victims group, whereas men do not. Nobody says "mens community". It's one reason an MRM of any kind has trouble getting anywhere. Not to mention the men who join the "women's community" to dump on their fellow man as well.
BUT, we do have a loose coalition on the web called the "manosphere", so that's encouraging. Best thing that ever happened to men.
Thankfully we have men like Pierce Harlan shouting in the anti-male wilderness. I don't care what anyone says, you're an effin hero.
The Russians are not going to save us this time.
We are exporting our current sex offender terrorism world wide with many nations adopting sex offender registries, and considering an International Megan's Law.
Canada has agree to give sanctuary to a WOMAN sentenced to 30 years for sex with a willing 16 year old.
If the situation were reversed would Canada consider giving an american MALE sanctuary for such a drastically insane sentence?
I think not..
U.S. sex offender claiming refugee status in Saskatchewan

Denise Harvey, centre, looks toward her family while being sentenced to 30 years in prison for having sex with her son’s 16-year-old friend.

For the past year, residents of Pike Lake, Sask., have come to know Denise Harvey as just another neighbour, an ordinary woman in a tightly knit community.
But for residents of Vero Beach, Fla., Harvey is a fugitive, a sex offender and — to many — a victim of an unjust justice system.
Harvey, an American, fled to Canada with her husband last year after being sentenced to 30 years in prison for having sex with her son’s 16-year-old friend. But the system caught up with her last week, when she was arrested by RCMP in Pike Lake. She made an appearance before an Immigration and Refugee Board adjudicator Monday and was released on a $5,000 bond.
She is claiming refugee status to avoid being forced back to Florida, arguing the 30-year-sentence she received was too severe.
Many others who have been following her case agree.
“She didn’t get any justice down here,” said Vero Beach flight trainer George Sigler, one of Harvey’s supporters.
In a town of 18.000 residents, Sigler gathered 2,000 signatures for a petition demanding the Florida governor give Harvey a pardon. Sigler says many people believe Harvey doesn’t deserve a jail sentence that should be reserved for killers.
“She’s a nice, soft-spoken woman who I believe made a mistake but that doesn’t mean she should go to jail for 30 years,” said Sigler. “No one in their right mind believes a 16-year-old wasn’t a willing participant.”
Chris Veeman, a Saskatoon immigration lawyer now representing Harvey, said a 30-year jail sentence was too high and provides some merit for her claim that returning to the United States would be cruel and unusual.
She never testified at her trial in Florida and denied any wrongdoing. The age of consent in Florida is 18. In Canada, the age of consent is 16 years old although it is 18 if the two people are in a situation defined as a power dynamic such as teacher and student.
Veeman said Harvey and her husband entered the country through the border and one of the conditions of her release is that she has to continue living with her husband. The couple has returned to Pike Lake, about 20 minutes southwest of Saskatoon.
One resident of Vero Beach who wants Harvey returned to Florida is Ron Barnett of Barnett Bail Bonds, which posted a $150,000 bail for the convicted woman.
When Harvey failed to showed up to begin serving her prison sentence in late February, a warrant was issued for her arrest.
“The Canadian authorities are protecting her and I can’t see their logic in letting her go,” said Barnett. “She skipped out on $150,000 bond and now she’s out on a $5,000 bond.”
In Pike Lake, one of the Harveys’ neighbours, Donna Nagus, said the community wants to give the couple their privacy.
“I really want to protect their privacy so we’re not talking about them at all,” said Nagus. “We don’t need a bunch of people gawking at their lawn.”
Hey guys I was walking on Cal Poly Pomona and I noticed that is rape awareness week they have the trees with green ribbons and the same bogus statistic from rain that 25% of women are raped on college 25% of then during the first 6 months...
Had you try to organize a False Rape Awareness week?
Even if is online I think it will be a good way to bring awareness to False Rape too, given that Rainn doesn't care enough to mention this fact, and really how can anyone make statistics on not reporting rapes...I can't even...
I came across this case recently, and have never found the follow up to what happened either to the beaten man, the men who beat him, or the accuser...
Man beaten in Issaquah incident faces rape charge
June 10, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 3:55 p.m. June 10, 2010
The man beaten into a coma after a reported rape at a downtown Issaquah house last month has been charged with rape.
Steven McCanless, a 31-year-old Kirkland resident, faces a second-degree rape charge in King County Superior Court. Prosecutors said he touched a 22-year-old woman inappropriately and, after she recounted the incident to a friend, her husband and another man beat McCanless with a brick and a rubber mallet.
Issaquah officers responded to a reported rape at a residence in the 400 block of Northeast Birch Street at about 2 a.m. May 23. Officers discovered McCanless, beaten and bloody, on the floor. Police later recovered the broken, bloodstained mallet.
McCanless suffered a broken jaw and left eye socket, sinus injuries and blood on the brain. He spent at least part of the week after the attack in a coma at Harborview Medical Center.
Officers arrested the assault suspects — the husband, a 31-year-old Bellevue man, and a 30-year-old Issaquah man — for the beating. Prosecutors did not file charges against the assault suspects, but could decide to do so in the future.
Investigators said a group of people — including the assault suspects, the rape suspect and the woman — had gone out together to Time Out Sports Bar in downtown Issaquah earlier in the evening.
The woman left the bar because she felt ill, returned to a friend’s house — the Northeast Birch Street residence — and fell asleep on a mattress on the living room floor. She said she awoke to find McCanless touching her inappropriately.
The women then grabbed her mobile phone and called a friend. The assault suspects returned to the house and attacked McCanless after he said the woman “wanted it,” court documents state.
McCanless later told police he had been drinking heavily on the night of the incident, but he said he did not touch the woman inappropriately.
Senior Deputy Prosecutor Cecelia Gregson on Thursday filed for a warrant to have McCanless arrested. She also asked a judge to order the suspect held at the King County Jail on $100,000 bail.
It quiet impressive sharing, thanks for it.
regards
Dallas Bail Bondsman
