Woman falsely claimed she was raped at spot in park that was under floodwater at the time


Cassandra Shubert told police she was attacked while jogging in a Clarksville, Tenn. park. The only problem is that the spot where Shubert claimed to be attacked would have been under floodwater at the time of the alleged assault.

When confronted with their information, Shubert admitted she made up the report, and said she came up with the rape story so her husband wouldn't know her true whereabouts while she was away from their home.  Source: http://www.wsmv.com/news/27784184/detail.html

In "False Rape Allegations," Prof. Eugene J. Kanin found that "over one-half [of the false rape claims] in his study served the complainants’ need to provide a plausible explanation for some suddenly foreseen, unfortunate consequence of a consensual encounter, usually sexual, with a male acquaintance. An assailant is identified in approximately one half of these cases."  See here.

We just keeping seeing more and more of these FRA-alibis.

I was wanting to do a search of that site for other stranger-rape stories in that local over the last year, but they don't seem to have a search feature available.

In the past, when I've done such searches in relation to a claimed stranger-rape being found to have been falsified, I have consistently seen no more than one or two other such rape claims which might have been true.

Based on these (completely unscientific, and not particularly reliable) result, my best guess is that between one-quarter to nearly one-half of all stranger-rape claims are nothing more than the sort of FRA-for-alibi like the situation in the story above.

I wonder if Dr. Kanin is still study the false rape accusation issue? If so, I'd like to suggest a study for him...

When children make impoossible to have happened accusations there is something call an "accomodation" to account for it.

Just a matter of time...

Such a small error. So the place was flooded at the time she said she was raped?

Such a small error!

This does not detract from the credibility of the victim. She was so traumatized that her memory was impaired.

Do you think I am joking? That is a real court case:

A few details of the story are wrong? Well the rest is correct, anyway.

It was at another place and at another time. Of course she was raped.

She felt raped, otherwise she would not have filed a complaint. And men are all philandering pigs, so they deserve rape accusations
