"As the parent of a child accused of rape last year, it is hard to begin to explain the grief, torment, and agony of seeing him being plastered all over the news, Google, and numerous other sites. People have no idea how families are affected by this. Anoymous emails sent to family members and on and on. Humiliation unimaginable knowing that friends and aquaintances can find out in less than a second by just trolling the internet. At times the pain has been so unbearable I felt I could not go on. Only by the grace of God and my children am I still on this earth.
"I do not know if he is innocent or guilty but he has already been deemed guilty by the public. Reading the comments by readers is unbearable. I would like to scream the injustice, but I know this would only fuel the frenzy of this mob-like mentality. He was just let go from a job, even though he was the best there, because it didn't look "good" for the company. No really, "tuff crap dude you are on your own." He now has no money, so where does that leave him in his ability to eat, pay his rent, attorney, etc?
"This is the most horrendous nightmare a parent could ever experience. Perhaps knowing that there is not a damn thing I can do is the worst feeling of all. His claims of innocence haunt me day and night. It is just too much to comprehend and I hope that one day our justice system will realize the extreme suffering endured by the family of the accused. Someone has to stop this madness. Guilty until proven innocent is never what our forefathers intended."

The system is not about truth and justice, it is about profits. I too was falsely accused in 2003 and I was beaten by my false accusers cousins who were gang members. Despite going to the police 7 times and the police having pictures of my injures (blood everywhere) nothing was done to her. She went to the police once with a false accusation and that was enough to have a team of detectives swarm down on me. These women are committing crimes and fraud, and they know that they can get away with it. To make a long story short my false accuser went on to commit manslaughter in 2009. I had warned everyone involved that the public was in danger with regards to my false accuser. The legal system is about profits and revenue. Ironically I went on to start my own company and am now a successful business owner, who owns his own home overlooking the pacific. Something good did come out of all of this, I made something of my life. For the Manslaughter charge in the case of my false accuser she was only given 90 days, while the average sentence is 4 years. What type of message does this send? She was drunk crashed and her friend hit a concrete wall. The system is about power numbers and statistics, and having conviction rates of 94% in the USA, where in Canada its 64%. I recommend you read John 8:44. Your son will not be the first or the last to have to go through something like this. Innocent men have spend decades in prison for crimes they did not commit, and are just recently being release, according to the Innocence Project. Innocent men and boys have been jailed, beaten, raped, and injured do to false rape accusations. The legal system needs reform and accountability. Aarod99k

American men (and young men) have the the god given right to not have a system that enables women to "Bear False Witness" for Now such trivial reasons as she does not want to pay her cab fare.
If you keep censoring me i will find another venue.
Anon 5:03,
Unless Pierce has deleted one of your posts, we aren't censoring a thing. Of course, your comment may have been insulting enough to warrant that.
After my false rape accusation, I find some sense of solace reading others stories of their false rape accusations.
Just knowing Im not alone.
Its also comforting there is no "Media blackout" (at least @ False Rape society) of the scourge that false rape accusations are doing to individuals and their fammilies.
"I do not know if he is innocent or guilty but he has already been deemed guilty by the public.
Is this a typo or misstatement?
Do you or do you not believe your son is innocent?
I hope I've misread this. If YOU don't support him....
...God help him.
I too understand the pain and severe injustice due to a false accusation of rape. My son-in-law was accused of raping his then girlfriend (not my daughter). They had been living together for more than 8 months at my son-in-laws grandparents. When he started reestablishing a relationship with my daughter, he asked his girl friend at the time to move out that he wanted to get back with someone he was seeing previously. (which was my daughter). This girlfriend was getting a free place to stay, a drug connection, a boyfriend, and everything else that goes with it. When she was asked to move out she did only to return a couple days later, crying that she had no place to go. My son-in-law told her, he being a nice guy, you can stay here for the weekend but then mo more, you have to be gone. This is when the apparent rape happened. Wow , what a coincidence! They live peaceably together for almost a year and bam! he turns into a rapist. She was heard threatening him that if she can't have him no one will and that she would ruin his life. Well, long story short, he is in prison for over 40 years. She battered herself up or had someone do it. She planned all of it. She stalked his house AFTER this happened and called on his cell phone. What woman who was actually raped would drive by the rapists house?? The judge only wanted to here about THAT night. No history. She cried and cried on the stand. A scorned woman she is and she gets off with freedom and revenge. Everyone that knows my son-in-law says he could have never done that. His grandparents were in their room down the hall. She says she screamed for 2 minutes straight. Try screaming for two minutes. It is a long time. The whole case was a sham. I am sickened by our "justice" system because it is about money and power. Not the truth. One more thing. My boyfriends sister just accused a unknown male of raping her. The police were on it right away. She, come to find out was seeing someone behind her husbands back and that night came home a mess. RAPE!!! So easy isn't it? Something HAS to change. So many young men are being screwed out of the lives. And our criminal justice system is so broken that it continues to limp along while peoples lives are torn apart. I feel for anyone who has been wrongly accused.

Many people will say even if they believe their loved one to be innocent that they "do not know", because they don't. It could have happened, it doesn't mean they're any less supportive, just being reasonable. Particularly necessary to be reasonable when your words are being published.
I am so sorry your family is going through this. It is sad how in these cases everyone believes the alleged victim with nothing but their word. There is no justice.
I would be remiss in leaving out this important msg for parents who have a son accused of rape. Make SURE you do your homework before paying for atty. In my moment of utmost fear I listened as the atty promised the world. Give me this much and I'll get my investigator right on this before the charges see the light of day. What did I get for the money? A phone call a month ltr telling me he needed 45k. Got another atty who pretty much promised the same. What did he give us months ltr after tens of thousands? A plea deal offer!! These attys are worse than the worse. They play on your fears, take all your money, and give us a plea deal??? They don't want to do the work of going to court!!! They want the easy money!! Well they got all mine, my son was fired on "accusations" and all we have left is public defender. Be careful parents. All I can do now is pray. I have nothing left. God help us all.
My son was recently accused of raping his little sister by his father's girlfriend who has always been jealous of my son because in comparison to her son, my son is the epitome of "All-American". He is a good student, talented athlete, responsible, polite, considerate, respectful, good-looking, hilarious, and absolutely charming. Her son is a bully, talks disgracefully of women, lazy, and rude. My son did absolutely nothing to his sister, but because his father's girlfriend pressured his sister into saying that my son touched her in "the bad place". My son was taken to jail and has been there for 3 weeks now awaiting his arraignment. He is missing school and put in a position to grow up quickly as he is with juveniles who have been convicted of murder and aggravated assault. If anything did happen that little girl, I believe that it was her own son that did it. My heart is breaking for him and ironically as I am feeling apart, he is staying during and hopeful for the booth of us. He has to remind me to eat when I talk to him. But I put on my brave face every time I talk to him so that he can continue to have holes. I am devastated, lost, and don't know what to do. I am living in my worst nightmare.
This is not the worst nightmare for a parent, my son has just been accused of rape and it is horrible but my other son was recently killed and believe me after that anything else seems cope able with, nothing compares to that. My son says he is innocent and is terribly depressed as he has also just lost his brother.
