and the author of this article is not even a criminologist. also, it seems that no one thinks of other possibilities.. such as victims to take away a claim maybe because they are being threatened, too embarrassed now, or don’t like how the police are taking the investigation. i think you should stop assuming petty articles have valid data rather than the police assume victims are lying or not lying.

get out, the article’s sources are so outdated.. 1987, 1991? its 2011 thank you. and i beg to differ about this FOURTY+ percentage of false rape accusations. its already very difficult in any country to get victims to come out, and now half of them are fake? that’s fucking bullshit. and its ignorant to assume anything, but in Canada, U.S. and England, sexual assaults and rapes are meant to be dealt with delicately, not to accuse the victim of lying. in other words, assume they are telling the truth regardless till a proper investigation is done.

And for anyone who still believes the system is biased in favor of men, consider that she took 4 years of his life away- where he most likely faced rape, by the sounds of it- and she’s serving 1-3. Sheesh.

Study found 41% of rape cases were later admitted by the woman to be false. http://goo.gl/XjU2M

And these were just cases admitted by the women that she lied, not including cases where there was no evidence, man was falsely accused, etc.

This isn’t to say that real rapes don’t happen, obv, but it needs to be understood that false accusations happen ALL THE TIME, and as such must be investigated on a case to case basis.

It is certainly ignorant to assume all accusations are true, as it it would be to assume all are false. We want to prevent and punish rape as a society, but also avoid situations like these: http://goo.gl/0e9o

It’s not exactly fair to say it isn’t rape in the situation of a prostitute not being paid. The money was the only reason she ever “consented” in the first place – to not pay her is taking even greater advantage of a vulnerable woman. I’m not sure if it falls inside the legal definition of rape, but to lie to a desperate woman to get away with fucking her for free when you essentially entered into a verbal contract is, at the very least, a pretty sick level of coercion and force. She didn’t freely consent to sex, she consented to perform sexual acts for money.

Phil Atio, it’s appalling how ignorant you are.

Do you think reporting a rape is enjoyable? What exactly do you believe a woman has to gain from it? It doesn’t bring back a girl’s reputation or a prostitute’s money.

Sadly, I believe it is far more common for rape to go unreported than for false accusations to be made, largely in part to victim blaming i***** like you.

I can testify that Yavanna is largely telling the truth when it comes to situations of rape. The majority of the so called rapes are the result of bitter disputes over other things besides sex where a woman decides to get a man in trouble for what was consentual sex.

There is often cases where prostitutes claimed to be raped after men refuse to pay for the sex, and no evidence of rape or forced sex can be found

There are also cases where girls and guys go to a house party get drunk, high, and stoned, then have seemingly consetual sex, one thing leads to another and the man brags about it, the women feels ashamed because everyone is talking about her so claims rape.

Quite a lot of truth in this at times. But if this is all she could get in four months of recording the bias of this film speaks for itself. The station the ninja reporter was posted to seemed way behind the times in any case. I retired in 2003 and at that time political correctness was the absolute with regards to dealing with female colleagues.

A lot is made of the prostitute rape situations. This is what really happens: An agreement is made between a prostitute and her “client.” After the job sometimes men refuse to pay and the prostitute claims rape. The police deal with it as a rape but perhaps as many as 9 times out of 10 cases end up being discovered as stated above. I`m not saying prostitutes don’t sometimes get genuinely raped, infact they are extremely vulnerable to such.

I got a sense that this reporter was bitter and twisted and perhaps she felt she was wronged at some time in the past. Five year career break? I wonder what the truth behind that statement was.
