Cathy Young 🇺🇸🇺🇦 on Twitter - "I'm a bit late to this but apparently Armie Hammer's career was destroyed over unsubstantiated allegations and some creepy fantasies?" The Sexual Assault Allegations Against Actor Armie Hammer Explained - "After an investigation into his actions led to a two-year halt in his career, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced that it would not bring any sexual assault charges against actor Armie Hammer, bringing an end—for now—to scandal that’s plagued the Hammer name."

Eleanor Williams jailed for eight and a half years after rape and trafficking lies - "A woman has been jailed for eight and a half years after being found guilty of lying about being raped and trafficked by an Asian grooming gang, and making false rape claims against a series of other men.  Eleanor Williams, 22, from Barrow-in-Furness was convicted in January of nine counts of perverting the course of justice... Her claims went viral during lockdown in May 2020 when she posted photographs of herself on Facebook covered in shocking bruises, with a black eye and a partially severed finger. She said she had been beaten and made to attend “sex parties” by “evil yet clever” Asian men, mostly Pakistani business owners.  The allegations soon spread far beyond Cumbria and sparked a global solidarity campaign, Justice for Ellie, with more than 100,000 Facebook members. It had its own line of merchandise, featuring a purple elephant, and prompted rallies all over the UK, amid allegations of a police cover-up.  Cumbria police recorded 151 crimes linked to the case in 2020, including malicious communications and harassment, as well as criminal damage and public order offences. Hate crimes tripled in Barrow that summer... Despite the focus on Asian groomers, by the time Williams made her Facebook post, she had been charged with multiple counts of perverting the course of justice.  These included making false rape claims against three young white men, one of whom, Oliver Gardner, simply had the misfortune to ask her for a light in the street. Another, Jordan Trengove, spent 73 days in prison on remand after she falsely accused him of raping and drugging her at knifepoint.  But Williams reserved her wildest allegations for a Barrow businessman, Mohammed Ramzan, known locally as Mo Rammy. Ramzan, now 43, told Preston crown court he had only met Williams once, briefly, at a family party. Williams said he was in fact the head of an international grooming gang, who first had sex with her aged 12 or 13, and then trafficked her and dozens of other girls around north-west England and abroad.  Trengove, Gardner and Ramzan all said they tried to kill themselves as a result of being falsely accused... Williams had six mobile phones she used to create fake identities, and manipulated the Snapchat accounts of real men she had met – via the dating app Tinder, or subscribers to her account on OnlyFans, the erotic photo-sharing site – to make them look like they were Asian abusers... Williams gave police a list of 60 girls, half from Cumbria and half from elsewhere, who she said had been pimped out by Ramzan’s gang. But when police knocked on the girls’ doors they were met with blank faces.  One of them, Chloe (not her real name), told the Guardian of her confusion at being confronted with the suggestion she had been groomed and abused with Williams, who was in the year above her at Walney school in Barrow... Chloe was as shocked as everyone else in Barrow when she saw Williams’ Facebook post in May 2020. She still struggles to believe her injuries were self-inflicted, as a forensic pathologist concluded they were, with a hammer Williams bought from Tesco a few days earlier.  Chloe bought a Justice for Ellie T-shirt and joined several solidarity protests. “Everyone had something of Justice for Ellie. Everyone. And if it wasn’t on you, it was on your car or on the front of your house.” She says she feels “stupid” to have joined the rallies for someone who made up so many lies. “It got very nasty very quickly.”  Trengove had “rapist” spray-painted on the side of his house. Ramzan received more than 500 death threats and had to leave Barrow for months. A reporter from the local Mail newspaper also left the town temporarily on police advice after receiving dozens of threats in response to a report she wrote about Williams’ first court appearance. Indian restaurant owners in the town repeatedly had their windows smashed after a list circulated on Snapchat purporting to show businesses complicit in Williams’ abuse. One Muslim restaurateur, who asked not to be named, said he lost at least £80,000 worth of custom after being named on the list. Orders dropped from 70-80 a night to two or three, and he was pursued down the street by people on skateboards who used the P-word and sprayed beer in his face.  During Williams’ sentencing hearing at Preston crown court, Judge Altham asked if the prosecution was asking him to sentence on the basis that the offences were motivated by racial hatred. Jonathan Sandiford KC said no, noting the jury had heard evidence of Williams’ “affectionate and emotional” relationship with at least one Asian man."

Regret Isn’t Rape - "“Not guilty.” There are no finer words for a criminal defense attorney to hear – nor for the defendant, of course. So when we received the “not guilty” verdict on July 27, 2018, our faith in our country’s criminal justice system was reaffirmed.  Our client was Michael Williams, represented by our managing partner David Eldridge, a former University of Tennessee Knoxville football player, who along with his teammate A.J. Johnson were indicted for aggravated rape charges nearly three and a half years ago after a woman claimed both men raped her during a victory party on Nov. 16, 2014.  As a result of the accusation, Johnson and Williams were suspended from the team less than 48 hours after the party and never played for Tennessee again. Johnson had been a star linebacker, and Williams was a starter in the secondary.  The thing is, there was not enough evidence that a crime had taken place. The prosecution did not introduce any forensic evidence, there no eyewitness testimony to corroborate the alleged rape, nor any other physical evidence to support the charges, let alone sufficient to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Further, there were a number of inconsistencies between what the woman said in court and what she had previously told investigators. There were also significant inconsistencies between how she and her friend described the events before the alleged rape took place.  The prosecution did not preserve the alleged victim’s and her friends text communications or social media data, and as a result that information was lost forever. We also learned as a result of our efforts to obtain this information that she and her friend, a witness for the prosecution had both replaced their phones around the same time.  We argued that the woman had consensual sex with both men at the same time, and then claimed it was rape after she quickly realized all there were going to learn that she had had sex with two guys at the same time. Once she made the claim of rape, her allegation was like a snowball rolling down a hill, getting bigger and with more momentum, each time was called upon the repeat the false claim – first to her friends, then to the responding officer, then to the investigators and so on. She regretted it, so we also reminded the jury that regret isn’t rape."
A lot of people got very upset when I pointed out that not all rape allegations were equal

Woman admits lying to police about being raped, sexually assaulted by colleagues - "A woman who had consensual sex with two of her colleagues later lied to the police that she had been raped and sexually assaulted.  Siti Junaidah Azahar, 22, pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Sep 20) to one count of giving false information to a public servant, with a second similar charge to be considered in sentencing...   She said she had lied as she wanted to leave the hotel room but did not have money with her. As she was unable to get home, she sent a text message to her cousin, lying that three men did something to her, so that her aunt would book her a Grab ride home.  After this, her aunt booked her the Grab ride, but also accompanied her to lodge a police report."

Woman, 22, gets jail for falsely reporting rape to police after quarrel with boyfriend - "Upset over a quarrel she had with her boyfriend, Zhang Lutian called the police late in the night, claiming that she was injured and he was preventing her from leaving.  On arrival, officers were told by Zhang that she had been sexually assaulted by her partner, which led them to deploy even more officers to the scene.  The accusation and others that she made turned out to be false and Zhang officially withdrew them slightly a month after the incident.   The 22-year-old was on Monday (Oct 2) sentenced to five weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to one count of providing false information to a public servant...   She said that the incident happened barely a few weeks after she turned 21, adding that her “cognitive ability” and awareness of the seriousness of the offence “was still immature”... She said that she suffered from severe depression and anxiety, which added to her emotional state when making the police report.  When asked by Senior District Judge Ong Hian Sun if she had any evidence of her mental condition, Zhang said that she had wanted to return to China to get a medical report because she could not afford to seek psychiatric treatment here."

‘This will forever change who I am’: Ashely Jansen acquitted - "For Ashley Jansen, proving her innocence in court came with little relief after living under the cloud of a false sexual assault allegation for more than a year.  Jansen, who lives in Northumberland County, was arrested in September 2022 and accused of sexually assaulting a student in 2018 when she was working as an educational assistant (EA) at a Clarington school. Jansen was fully acquitted of the charges in an Oshawa courtroom on Nov. 24, but says the verdict doesn’t negate the trauma her and her family have been through since Children's Aid Society knocked on her door in the summer of 2022 and informed her she could not be in the house with her children.  “We didn’t even know what the allegation was for another two weeks,” said Ashley’s husband, Ken Jansen. “They extracted her from our lives and all they would tell us was that there was ‘an active investigation.’”   From there began 15 months of “pure hell” for the family, according to the couple, which included Ashley losing the dream job she had started after leaving the EA profession in 2019, as well as facing judgments and gossip in the community... It was an ordeal that the Jansens should never have had to endure, according to a ruling from the bench by the Hon. Peter Tetley, presiding judge, on Nov. 24. The judge pointed to several inconsistencies in the complainant’s version of events, including describing the room the alleged incident occurred as having a locked door when it did not, not accurately remembering many details of the incident, changing their statement several times, as well as the complainant’s history of violent and abusive behaviour, as issues that should have led to further investigation. “The crown’s case consisted solely of testimony provided by the complainant,” he explained.  “The characterization and factual considerations might reasonably have been expected to call for a careful, impartial, comprehensive investigative response to independently confirm certain aspects of the allegation that could be subject to confirmation or verification. Unfortunately, that did not occur despite the foreseeable consequences of this complaint in relation to the defendant, consequences that included loss of employment, loss of reputation in the community, restrictions to the defendant’s ability to care for her own children, compromises to the defendant’s mental health and well-being and marital stress... The nightmare is far from over for the Jansens, who are dealing not only with the financial fallout of more than $200,000 in legal fees, but also the lasting trauma on the family. “We went to a parade last weekend and when my three-year-old saw the police she started crying saying they were going to take mommy away,” Ken recalled, noting the impact has been similar on the rest of the couple’s five children.   “We’re really, really having a difficult time with how this was allowed to happen,” Ken said, noting the victim had assaulted Ashley in the past and made multiple threats to other staff members while being restrained during violent outbursts, saying that they would “tell someone you touched me.” “It’s inhumane what they were allowed to do. My wife’s life is destroyed, our family’s life is destroyed,” he continued, noting both Ashley’s former union and the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board not only did not provide any assistance throughout the ordeal, but several school staff members testified that they were specifically instructed by superiors not to speak to police on the matter... Ken credits a Durham investigator hired by the family for bringing the truth to light by conducting an investigation he believes should have been completed by police, including talking to staff, visiting the location of the allegations and more.” Damn judge who believes in rape myths! Doesn't he know that trauma means victims can't remember details and become violent, and we should believe victims unconditionally? He is double raping the victim by putting him through all this instead of convicting the accused just on the victim's say so!

Toronto city councillor falsely accuses Doug Ford of threatening Pfizer head with sexual assault - "A Toronto city councillor is standing her ground after accusing Premier Doug Ford of threatening to sexually assault a Pfizer CEO. Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam tweeted on Tuesday, "Premier threatens to sexually assault someone, if he doesn't get what he wants."  Her statement is in reaction to Premier Ford sharing his frustration with Pfizer, which has delayed shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine to Canada. "I would be up that guys ying-yang so far with a firecracker he wouldn't know what hit him," said the Premier in relation to the Pfizer CEO."
From 2021. If everything is rape, nothing is

Probation for woman who had consensual sex but lied to police, claiming she was raped - "As part of her sentence, Siti Junaidah Azahar, 22, has to remain indoors from 10pm to 6am every day, and perform 60 hours of community service...   Siti said she lied as she wanted to leave the hotel room but did not have money with her.  As she was unable to get home, she sent a text message to her cousin and lied that “three boys did something” to her.   She said that so her aunt would agree to book her a Grab ride home"

Ironically the image of the individual in here is very unattractive

Father acquitted of all charges of raping 12-year-old daughter, sexually abusing her - "A man who mounted an "all-or-nothing" defence by denying all 13 charges which include sexual abuse and rape levied against him by his biological daughter was fully acquitted by the High Court..   Justice Valerie Thean went through the details of each charge to explain why she found the evidence of the daughter inconsistent and not "unusually convincing" enough to warrant convictions.  The girl's evidence did not cohere - what she said in court pertaining to dates and what sort of acts had happened differed at points from what she said in police statements, to her school counsellor and her psychiatrist...   The girl also gave conflicting answers as to when a sex toy was first used on her.  At first she said it could have been when she was in Primary 5, but this was inconsistent with her accounts to a psychiatrist and school counsellor respectively.  Justice Thean said there was little reason for the girl to provide different dates to the psychiatrist and school counsellor, who both questioned her on the same day.  At trial, the prosecution obtained receipts to show that the two sex toys were bought online and delivered only on Aug 20, 2019.  This was well after the dates the girl used, and no evidence was adduced to suggest her father had any other sex toys, said the judge."

Father denies raping 12-year-old daughter; testifies about her alleged lies, self-harm behaviour - "he used to punish his daughter by caning her if she misbehaved. He would also scold her and confiscate her phone, which she was first given in Primary 1.  His lawyer then brought him through several incidents where his daughter purportedly lied. When the girl was in Primary 1, she purportedly pushed a boy and her teacher called the girl's mother about this.  "When we confronted her, she actually denied until we told her the teacher has called us, then she told us what happened," said the man.  On another occasion, he and his wife saw the girl poking her brother's head and pushing it against the bed on closed-circuit television (CCTV).  When they talked to her about it, she denied it until they told her that they had seen everything on the CCTV camera...   At a parent-teacher meeting when the girl was in Primary 5, the teacher told the man and his wife not to cane their daughter...   The accused said the mention of the caning was significant because his wife had threatened their daughter, saying that she would be caned twice per mark if she scored anything short of 90 marks.  After the meeting, the accused questioned his daughter and she denied telling her teacher about the caning threat.  "That's where I asked her - if you didn't share this, why will the teacher bring this up? That's where she told me, yes, she did share this with her teacher," the man said.  He also said his daughter was in a choir. On one occasion, he went to school a bit earlier to pick her up and saw her with a friend at the side of the school, appearing jumpy.  "I asked - I thought now is during choir, why are you all here? She said they are having a 15-minute break," said the man.  Feeling something amiss, he got his wife to check with the teacher if their daughter had attended choir, and the answer was no.  He said this was not his daughter's first time skipping choir. When he fetched her home that day, he questioned her but she denied skipping the co-curricular activity.  "I told her that, look, your mother has already called the choir teacher and we know that you didn't attend choir. That's when she told me she skipped choir and she was complaining about the choir teacher," said the accused.   He said he and his wife changed their daughter's phone from a Samsung model to a Nokia phone when the girl was between Primary 1 and Primary 2.  "We did this because we found out that she was accessing adult materials," he claimed. "By changing phone, Nokia phone is 2G, no Internet access, so she can't access any of this material."...   He also denied sexually assaulting her in a storeroom. He said the storeroom was filled to the brim with items and he did not ask anyone to help him in the storeroom because the things inside were very heavy.  "Can two people go inside?" asked Mr Tiwary.  "No," answered the accused, saying he did not think that even one person could enter."
Of course, someone claimed that she lied because of the physical punishment. Might as well say any discipline would make a child lie, so you shouldn't do it

Pennsylvania Woman Lied About Man Attempting to Rape and Kidnap Her Because He Looked 'Creepy,' Gets Him Jailed for a Month - "Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, identified as a Bristol Township resident, has now been charged for lying about the attack. Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn's office said that Urumova falsely accused Daniel Pierson, 41, of pulling her pants down and striking her outside of a Redner's supermarket in Middleton Township on April 16.  Pierson went on the face felony charges and spent exactly 31 days behind bars before charges were dropped last Friday and he walked free, the DA said, noting that neither surveillance footage nor Urumova's iPhone corroborated her claims."

Fausses accusations de viol | Condamnée à payer 200 000 $ pour de « terribles » allégations - "Tanya Zajdel, une ancienne infirmière, a utilisé tous les moyens de communication à sa disposition pour dénoncer un supposé viol collectif orchestré par Kenneth L. Herman, un Américain de passage dans la métropole québécoise en 2015.  Elle a notamment inondé les réseaux sociaux de ses accusations, les a transmises à l’employeur de M. Herman et a même autoédité un livre mis en vente sur Amazon...   M. Herman a vécu le « cauchemar des cauchemars » dans la foulée de sa visite à Montréal : il a perdu son emploi et a passé plusieurs années à « se sentir comme un paria », écarté par des amis et des voisins. Il avait « une réputation étincelante dans l’écosystème technologique de New York » avant cette affaire... Selon sa page LinkedIn, elle offre des « thérapies de reconnexion » en lien avec les traumas passés... Mme Zajdel a témoigné qu’elle avait rapidement commencé à avoir des flash-back dans les jours suivants, selon lesquels Herman « et ses amis l’ont droguée et brutalement violée ».  Elle dépose ensuite une plainte au Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM), dont l’enquête démontrera que la présumée victime se contredit et que ses souvenirs sont incompatibles avec la réalité : une caméra de surveillance montrait que le duo était seul dans la chambre d’hôtel et des données de géolocalisation disculpaient totalement les amis de M. Herman."

Man killed after threesome goes wrong - "Christopher Membreno, 24, has been arrested and charged with murdering Manos Ikonomidis, 20... He reportedly was seen earlier in the apartment building with a man and woman. The three got involved in a sexual act together when one of the men tried to record the affair, but the woman became angry... The woman and man left the apartment, leaving Ikonomidis behind. A tenant living in the building told the Daily News that the woman called her partner, Membreno, who reportedly was not part of the affair, and alleged that she was raped.  Membreno and two other men allegedly went into the apartment building and chased Ikonomidis with baseball bats, police said. The men reportedly also stabbed the young man."

UP Woman Jailed For Exact Period Man She Falsely Accused Of Rape Served - "A district court in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly sentenced a woman to four years and five months in jail for filing a false case of rape against a man, recanting her statement and turning hostile during the trial. She was also fined ₹ 5.88 lakh for robbing the man of earning opportunities during the time he was in jail as an undertrial.    The court came down heavily on the woman over the fake case and said, "The real victims have to suffer due to the actions of such women. This is a very serious situation for the society. It is objectionable to use the police and the court as a medium to achieve one's objective. Women can't be allowed to attack the interests of men for unfair advantage."  In 2019, the mother of the survivor, then 15 years old, filed a case of kidnap and rape against one Ajay, alias Raghav. Ajay, 21 years old then, worked with the teen's sister at a jagrata company and would often visit their home. Soon, he became friends with the 15-year-old as well. In her complaint to the police, the teen claimed Raghav drugged her with spiked prasad, took her to Delhi, locked her up in a room, and raped her"
It's interesting it was a false rape accusation, but she's still a "survivor"

"New mile stone marker, I've hit 300 sexual harassment claims in three years
Little back story. I do contract work for an international company, an IA officer. (internal affairs) I hunt down people committing fraud, selling company secrets, looking to quit and take proprietary information with them etc. Most of the times these people I catch are put into an interrogation style room while I review numbers, files, emails, testimony (think the accountant, but I'm no Ben Affleck or super agent) this room is filmed. It is not announced yet it has a small sign on the door saying this room is mic'd and video recorded, yet I still get accused of sexual harassment even though it's recorded from 6 different angles and a high def microphone. Today I was pulled into my three hundredth Sexual harassment inquiry in a 5 year contract. It is company policy to review every complaint. And we usually laugh at the ridiculous excuses and reasons given. and out of the 274 of them were women who thought by claiming harassment they would some how dodge a charge. The most common excuse for doing it by far 217 of them was "because of the glass ceiling I can't advance so I'm taking what is mine.. so tonight im go ng to celebrate and watch a few reels of the most ludicrous excuses ive ever heard. Cheers!!"

PA 911 operator fired after accusing boss of sexual harassment despite their alleged years-long affair - "Maille Russell Bonsall, 40, was fired by the County on February 28th according to the Philadelphia Inquirer after county officials found that she had been illegally recording conversations with her superiors, even those she accused of retaliating against her for the sexual harassment lawsuit.  The outlet reported that Bonsall accused her supervisor former county emergency services director Tim Boyce of “unwanted verbal, physical and sexual harassment during and after work hours,” and masturbating in her presence in his office. She alleged that Boyce made her feel unsafe at the office after she reported this, ignoring her and blocking her access to systems required for her role... County authorities responding to Bonsall’s lawsuit disputed her claims and stated that sexually explicit texts and nude images the two sent to each other using their county-issued cell phones revealed a “longstanding romantic relationship” lasting for years. Citing this evidence they asserted that there was no evidence to suggest that Boyce’s advances were unwelcome to Bonsall and pointed to texts in which she repeatedly professed her love for him. Investigators also discovered texts in which Bonsall told Boyce that she was high at work after using marijuana on the clock, had reportedly altered her own timecard, and refused to cooperate with the investigation... Boyce has plead not guilty and denied any wrongdoing."

Links - 9th June 2026 (1 - Feminism [including 'Rape Academy', Women vs Boys in Football])

Meme - Shannon Watts: "CNN exposes a global "online rape academy" that teaches men how to drug and rape women without detection. Over 62 million men attended in February alone."
"Exposing a global 'online rape academy' that is teaching men how to abuse women an..."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "The post incorrectly labels the monthly traffic for one porn site as the number of men participating in drugging and raping women to create their own porn. 62 million is the site's total traffic. The number of men in drugging groups, according to CNN, is "nearly a thousand""
Left wingers have very poor comprehension skills and no shame. She literally linked the article, yet failed to understand it

Meme - "The same ones who insist that "women don't lie about rape!" are now saying that it's OK to lie about rape"
Jenni Soldner: "Currently many women are posting to bring awareness to the fact that a "rape academy" website had 62 million visits in February of this year alone. Men's comments? Not horror. Not disgust. Not supporting victims. Instead they are saying "it was 62 million VISITS, not people. And you can't know how many were men." Rather than focusing on the existence of this website that was created by men, they are arguing the semantics of the data."
Rae Tindell: "It was a telegram group of about 1,000 men across the globe that were using drugs to sedate and rape their wives, and sharing tips on how. CNN's article on it mentions Motherless, the most trafficked pom site on the intemnet, and how it had 62 million visits in February while also hosting a few thousand videos of somnophilia content, some of which are certainly of questionable legality. People are equating the two and thinking it means there were 62 million men in some online academy teaching each other how to sedate and rape. Is the fact that the group and content exist absolutely abhorrent? It is. Should the individuals creating and engaging with content be held accountable? Absolutely. Is there an online rape academy getting 62 million visits in one month? There is no actual evidence to support this claim. Im not defending any of the abhorrent behavior that the article actually revealed, but I think myself and most men simply want to point out what the article actually revealed and correct the sensationalized narrative that is being spread by a misunderstanding of the actual data presented."
Willow Glade: "here we fekking go.."
The truth behind the "Rape academy with 62 million members" that left wingers have been huffing and puffing about. Left wingers love to hyperventilate over made up scenarios. Left wingers can't help but lie, and if you fact check them you're a bad person (of course, they mock non-left wingers who point out dishonest fact checks as not caring about the truth)
Female and left wing logic: feelz are more important than facts

Threads - qasimrashid: "If you're on a boat with 100 people & someone punctures the hull with a sledgehammer, would you immediately restrain him & work with everyone to stop the boat from sinking—or would you stand there & say, "Don't look at me, I've never taken a sledgehammer to a hull." You'd do the former—because you're not a sociopath. So, when we talk about systemic abuse of women & the existence of things like 'Rape Academy' & men respond, "Don't look at me, I never raped anyone," you sound like a sociopath."
Comments (on his Facebook): "Yea except your forgetting the part where half the boat screeches to the other half how the puncture is there fault and they need to fix it now and it's all of them. While also screaming that there are holes all over the boat rather than just the one hole and finally just claiming anybody that points out there is only one hole is part of the reason the hole is there to begin with and should be treated like the person that punctured the hull one and the same. With of course a stream of insults thrown in to those they expect to fix the hole."
"Talk about the recent trend of female school teachers sleeping around with their young male students….then say “women can’t be trusted around kids , if you disagree you’re most likely a grapist”"
"This is the dumbest analogy I think I've ever heard. You are saying all men are collectively responsible for the actions of a few. Does that also mean all Muslims are terrorists or all women are sex workers because some of the people in those groups are? Just because you don't want to be viewed the same as the minority of people of that group it doesnt make you a sociopath, it makes you rational and logical."
"Cool. Now be more honest. One guy used the sledgehammer, but instead of holding him accountable alone, you want him to be taken down and then chastise and become paranoid about every single other man just because."
"Imagine if the media reported that 62 million migrants were guilty of raping women when the actual numbers was 1000... what kind of unnuecessary division and harm do you think that would create to that community that is already viewed in a very negative light."
Of course, someone replied to the last and claimed that "most women and people assigned female at birth have been sexually assaulted. which is the bigger problem - that, or someone using the wrong number on a post? Like, really?"; at some level, left wingers know they're lying, but do it anyway because it's good for propaganda

Meme - Fight the Patriarchy: "Men can be pretty chill until they find out you're smarter and funnier than they are."
"This is why men and women's sports are separated. It's not because men have a physical advantage, it's because they don't want to lose to women. Their fragile egos literally cannot take it."
"Y'all remember when the women's world cup champions got smoked by a boys Varsity team?"
"Is this feminist humor?"
There're still lots of deluded feminists who claim that women's sports are sgated because the women perform better, so it was done to protect men's egos because they don't want to lose to women. Even a casual look at sports statistics shows how women cannot compete, but feminism and left wing ideology in general are about feelz over facts anyway

Janet Murray on X - "Guardian columnist Zoe Williams claims the reason we don't have mixed football teams is because “women are too good”. 🙄  Now, I’m no expert on football - but you don’t need to be. You can see it with your own eyes.  Watch an elite men’s match and an elite women’s match side by side. The men are, on average, quicker, stronger and more powerful - which changes the pace, intensity and physicality of the game.  Saying that doesn’t diminish women’s football. It’s simply acknowledging reality.

Why Women's Football Sides Continue to Play Men's Youth Teams Despite Criticism - "In 2023, Wrexham beat the USWNT 12-0 in a mini-tournament, once again leading to widespread mocking of the women's game.  So why are these games played? In 2022, after Arsenal women were defeated 5-0 by the club's under-15 boys’ side, an explanation was given. Per a report in the Times, the leaked 5-0 defeat was used as an example to dismiss the quality of women’s football. However, Arsenal viewed the match as an opportunity to improve their women's team regardless of any external criticism.  Journalist Molly Hudson wrote: 'Biologically, a team of boys aged 14 to 16 are thought to provide the ideal test for a women’s team because, although they are often quicker and stronger, they are not at the insurmountable level of a senior men’s side.'  While the boys tend to have an advantage when it comes to physical attributes, it forces the women to adapt and improve their speed of thought, technical skills, and positioning. Hudson added that the Gunners aimed to play against men's youth teams on a more regular basis, so that playing against other women’s teams would seem easier in comparison.   Former Arsenal women’s manager Jonas Eidevall explained:  “It’s an astonishing opportunity that most football teams around the world would give everything to do: to see if we can make our training harder than the games.  “That means if we’re successful in training then we will, for sure, be successful in games. We’ll have a bit more time and it will be a little easier. Under-15 or 16 is usually a good age group where the physicality hasn’t grown so much on all the players. They are a little faster than our players but it’s not impossible to play against.”"

Three women found not guilty of indecent assault after using sex toys on passed out man - "There were tears as a jury found three Ōamaru women not guilty of indecent assault charges stemming from an incident involving an unconscious man at a “Dirty 30” themed birthday party in 2023.  Tuesday marked the fifth day of the trial, in the Timaru District Court, in which there was no dispute between the Crown and the defence that an incident occurred.  The three women, all aged 32, had each faced three charges of indecent assault but the defence maintained throughout that their actions that night had been a prank. The complainant, who was the boyfriend of one of the women at the time, drank too much at her 30th birthday party, and went to bed fully clothed to sleep it off.  His girlfriend at the time, and her two friends, who all have interim name suppression, then wrote lewd comments and drew pictures on him and used lube and two sex toys on his buttocks. There was no suggestion of penetration.  Photos and a short video were also taken, and shared among the defendants... the jury sided with the defence case from lawyers Ron Mansfield, KC, Katey Barker, Paul Norcross and Joanna Lorigan Innes who maintained throughout the incident was “good-natured fun”, and charges were the result of retaliatory campaign by the complainant against his ex-girlfriend."

Overall, the numbers of those who agree and disagree are roughly the same (42% vs 45%). Only 12% of men strongly disagree with this statement.  Maybe there is hope that when this young generation grows older and begins to enter positions of power, gender policies will become more balanced and fair toward men?

Evidence Mounts: Sex Dolls Reduce Men’s Sexual Compulsivity - "As adult-looking sex dolls and robots become more popular, more lifelike, and—thanks to artificial intelligence—more animated, a chorus of critics warns of horrible consequences:
   Increased sexual violence against women
    Objectification of women as passive playthings
    Encouragement of sex crimes, especially against children
    Destruction of real human relationships
    Triggering or aggravating mental health problems in users
      In a previous post, I discussed a study by English researchers who found that sex doll critics are mistaken on all counts. Their findings showed no significant mental health differences between sex doll owners and non-owners, and no evidence that, compared with non-owners, doll owners pose any greater sexual threat to women, children, themselves, or society.  Now, another report by German researchers has corroborated and extended those findings. The latest study shows that, far from posing dangers to women, children, themselves, or society, sex dolls can serve as safe, benign sexual substitutes for men who might otherwise commit sex crimes...
Doll owners who admitted sexual attraction to children generally said that playing with sex dolls decreased their desire for sex with minors. One said, “My doll completely satisfies my pedophilic urges. I don’t dream about sex with children anymore.”
They also reported significant decreases in the use of pornography and fantasies of illegal sex—incest, public exhibitionism, and sexual violence.
Many doll owners claimed improved their mental health—less anxiety, depression, and sexual disappointment.
Owners said their dolls helped them adjust to desire differences in their relationships. Coupled owners had sex with human partners once a week, but with their dolls, three times a week.
Many said the dolls had improved their partner sex. “I’m more patient with my partner, more caring, more focused on her needs.”
Many owners said their dolls allowed them to act out fantasies their partners would not permit, particularly oral and/or anal sex. “My wife doesn’t like oral or anal sex, so I have it with my doll.”...
when porn viewers, overwhelmingly men, enjoy solo sex while watching porn, they are not out in the world raping women and children. When Eastern Europe was Communist, porn was illegal. Since then, several of those nations have legalized it—and uniformly, sex crimes have decreased.  Now, many are demonizing sex dolls and their users. But again, when men play with dolls, they are not abusing real women or children—and this study shows that they lose interest in doing so."
The misinformation and hysterics are all down to the same reason feminists hate porn, prostitution and women hate sluts.
The feminist cope around prostitution reducing sex crime is that the prostitutes are being raped. Too bad they can't claim that about sex dolls

I Lived The Feminist Dream. I Want My Money Back. - "We were sold the lie to go after our careers, make money, and make our mark on the world first, and then go find a partner once we've accomplished A through C. We used to have a backstop against some of this—our biological clock ticking louder around our mid-thirties—but we did an end run around that too, with egg freezing. And the worst part of it is that we, women, did this to ourselves. Not a single man told us to do any of this. In fact, historically, they’ve been pretty petulant about the whole thing, but we pushed right through that sentiment by calling them all “toxic” and threatening them with cancellation if they didn’t comply. We are our own worst enemy, and the architects of our own demise.  While we were busy climbing the corporate ladder, raising unheard of amounts of money, and optimizing ourselves in every possible way, the men in our cohort weren’t just waiting around for us to feel "ready" to settle down. They were dating, and as we aged up, still too busy self-actualizing for them, they continued to date twenty-year-olds (women in their fertile prime, because that’s what men are biologically programmed to find attractive). So we freeze our eggs, maybe buying us some additional time. Ten years go by. Surely, the men left in their forties are still single because they're looking for something real, something mature; a woman of substance. Wrong. They're still dating twenty-year-olds, just now with a hair transplant and an eye-rolling age gap. And it’s not really their fault; it’s mostly biology. Men have about the same fertility as they age until well into their sixties. Up until that point, they will be pursuing women in their fertile prime, as their biological directive is telling them to procreate, and with a mate with the highest likelihood of success to carry on the gene pool. Feminism sold us the lie that being a well-rounded, articulate, and successful woman would up the value of our stock; the investment in ourselves was worth it. In reality, it does absolutely nothing to our market value and, actually in some cases, lowers it, as many men prefer to be more successful and smarter than their partners. Women date laterally and up, men date laterally (sometimes), but mostly down. Most men couldn’t care less if you're successful or incredible intelligent, or have any amount of self-knowledge you might have gleaned on your therapy journey. Sure, those things are “nice-to-haves,” but often they don’t even come into their assessments until after you’ve already been dating for a while. They have the ability to make a marginal difference, at best. Men, even when they say they want someone they can ‘talk to on their level,’ are kind of kidding themselves—they look mostly for biological markers of fertility and high estrogen (waist-to-hip ratio, full lips, heart-shaped face), and as far as talking goes… they just want someone to listen. It’s women who want someone to talk to on their level—another gross mis-assessment of feminism.  Just to get to the point where other non-physical attributes come into consideration, you have to pass the first gate, which I’ll call the ‘visual fertility assessment.’ ... Now, onto the topic of the ‘sexual revolution.’  "Explore your sexuality" they said, "women can also have satisfying sex lives." A noble quest for sure. This point is the hardest for me to make, because I do believe that a lot of good came out of this. I do think women were, for many years (and often still are), short-changed in the bedroom, mostly because they don’t take the time to learn what they like, or feel confident enough to ask for it, and much of that knowledge comes unfortunately only from experimentation. But, feminism’s call to “f*ck like men” was the wrong message. Its call for sexual freedom wasn’t ill-intentioned so much as ignorant of biology.  "Do away with the archaic notions of the religious past, rooted in oppression, that chastity is a virtue. You do you girl, a real man won’t care.” Wrong again. Whether men know it or not, they are pre-disposed to prefer women with fewer partners... Feminism told women to delay marriage and the dating market moved on without us... Now don’t get me wrong, feminism got a lot right: the right to vote, equal pay, the ability to have a job, and not be sexually harassed at that job, bodily autonomy, ability to open a bank account or just exist without a husband. It gave us options. But maybe, just maybe, it got this one thing wrong. I did everything feminism told me to do: I worked my ass off, made a shitload of money, and became one of the youngest female directors in my field. I broke the “glass ceiling.” But now I’m just lying here, covered in broken glass."

Inside the SICK Grooming Scandal

Inside the SICK Grooming Scandal

"The question was ‘Should there be more or less migration to the UK’. Enver Solomon from the Refugee Council and Krista Verver from St Antony’s College argued there should be more immigration. Rispah Odanga and I argued for less. We each had four minutes to set out our case. Here was mine.

I said mass immigration is now being used to prop-up Britain’s broken economy and has disproportionately negative effects on working-class, non-graduate, and less skilled people who live outside London and the university towns, like Oxford. I said an alliance of big business and the new elite have now become addicted to importing cheap migrant workers from abroad —whether to keep their costs low and profits high, to hoover up what few benefits there are for themselves, or to signal their ‘luxury beliefs’ and feelings of moral righteousness to others.

I said mass immigration, like highly diverse societies more generally, erodes social trust, leads people to hunker down from others, reduces public support for welfare, undermines perceptions of democratic legitimacy, and fuels national populism.

I said that for the vast majority of Brits out there, beyond Oxford and Cambridge, this debate was actually not ‘difficult’ at all. They know exactly what they think and want. They want net migration lowered, ideally to around 50,000-100,000 a year, rather than the current 600,000 a year.

And they want a ‘high-skilled’ migration policy to deliver exactly that —not low-skilled workers from Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere who enter on salaries as low as £23,000, if not lower, and have been shown to be a net economic cost to the country.

And I said mass migration is now, very clearly, exacerbating other serious problems in the country, like our escalating national housing crisis. This is best reflected in the fact that while we built 180,000 houses last year we now need to build more than twice that, every year, just to keep up with demand from migration. Mass migration is also driving up private rents and dominating social housing, where working-class Brits and young professionals are often now pushed out altogether.

For all these reasons and more, I said we should dramatically lower migration and push for a five-year freeze to allow Britain to absorb the the mass migration we have seen during the last twenty years, strengthen our social fabric and ensure we do not end up living in an atomised, fragmented, and increasingly polarised society.

A poll of the audience was taken before and after the debate. Before the debate, the Oxford audience, unsurprisingly, voted 76% to 24% in favour of ‘more immigration’. Such support is unsurprising when your only real experience of migration is high-skilled international PhD students and professionals who congregate in university towns. After the debate, the audience voted 72% to 28% in favour of more migration. So, there was a slight swing toward our side which, naturally, I took as victory.

But what really surprised me during the debate —what I found truly shocking—was the reaction to what happened when I mentioned one specific issue.

During the question and answer session, one student raised her hand and asked me if I could name one negative effect of immigration and multiculturalism. 

I looked at her and without any hesitation said —the organised sexual exploitation of young, white, working-class girls. Suffice to say it caused a strong reaction in the room with more than a few people later insisting I was wrong.

But was I? 

Here’s what happened next and why my critics at Oxford are wrong.

Why did I mention the issue at all, you might ask?

Because, to be honest, I think it has been —and still is— one of the most disgraceful and darkest episodes in recent British history.

For readers who might not know about the ‘grooming scandal’, we are talking about tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of children being systematically raped and abused by organised gangs of men while people in power, the very people charged with protecting these children, turned a blind eye...

It is, in short, child rape on a mass industrial scale which, as others note, simply “has no other comparison in 21st century Britain”. And while we know there have been at least 1,500 victims in Rotherham, 1,000 in Telford, and nearly 500 in Rochdale, there will be thousands more we simply don’t know about.

But what has been almost as troubling as the scandal itself is the reaction to it —especially among the new elite who dominate the institutions. When I mentioned the scandal in Oxford, the reaction was striking. Several people, including senior members of staff, looked at me in disbelief or shook their heads, registering their disapproval that I had even mentioned it at all. Others took the microphone during the question and answer session to claim I was ‘mispresenting the data’.

Citing a Home Office report, published in 2020, one member of the audience claimed most perpetrators are not, as I suggested, members of a minority group but “white people”. People surrounding the speaker nodded their heads in agreement.

The same claim was also made at the time of that report’s release, by left-leaning academics who argued it was unfair to target any specific group and left-leaning journalists, some of whom said the report “concluded [the] majority of child sexual abuse gangs are made up of white men under [the] age of 30”.

But this is wrong. The people who peddle this nonsense are wrong. And the people who criticised me at the Oxford debate are wrong. Let me explain why.

For a start, this is not what the Home Office report says at all. After reviewing all the available evidence it states clearly that in the most high profile cases of organised grooming convictions ‘mainly involved men of Pakistani ethnicity’.

Furthermore, nationally, across Britain, it concludes data on the scandal is so flawed and limited that little can be said about the link between ethnicity and this type of crime. It is certainly not the case, as my critics suggest, that whites are more likely than other groups to engage in group-based grooming.

As the most comprehensive inquiry notes, the frustrating reality is that data on the ethnicity of perpetrators is often lacking. While the most high-profile prosecutions ‘have involved groups of men from minority ethnic communities … poor or non-existent data collection makes it impossible to know whether any particular ethnic group is over-represented as perpetrators of child sexual exploitation by networks’.

Furthermore, this glaring and shameful lack of data, transparency and information about the true scale and scope of the scandal is not helped by how ideological concerns have been consistently prioritised above the need to protect vulnerable children —as I encountered at Oxford.

Civil servants, as we now know, fell over themselves to try and block the release of data about the scandal. Local councils sought to block the release of presentations because of fears of being called ‘racist’. Teachers in Telford were told they were being ‘racist’ if they shared fears about the scandal. Elsewhere, Pakistani-British policemen and councillors conspired to suppress reports about it. And some reports relied on far-left academics who, quite clearly, downplayed cultural factors.

As the most comprehensive independent inquiry concluded last year, there has simply been ‘a widespread failure … to record the ethnicity of perpetrators and victims of child sexual exploitation’, possibly due to ‘political correctness’.

Either way, despite these problems, the suggestion in the Home Office report —that while whites make up the largest group of offenders (because they are the largest group in Britain), Asian men, usually of Pakistani heritage, are consistently and heavily over-represented— has since been confirmed in a series of detailed studies.

Journalist Andrew Norfolk was the first to draw attention to the scandal, in 2011, writing about how girls as young as 12 had had abortions as a result of abuse while one girl, aged only 13, appeared to have been raped more than 50 times.

Writing in in The Times, in 2011, he noted that in 17 trials held between 1997 and 2011 across 13 towns, 53 of the 56 offenders were described as Asian, of which 50 were Muslim and most were members of the British Pakistani community.

More detailed investigations followed and they tell a remarkably consistent story.

In towns like Rotherham, where this problem has been endemic, social workers admitted that while most perpetrators were ‘Asian men’, data on ethnicity was deliberately excluded from presentations because it was considered controversial.

When it was included, as in a series of reports between 2011 and 2015, it showed, clearly, that Asian men, usually of Pakistani heritage, were consistently over-represented as abusers —even if they were not the majority of abusers.

In 2015, a report by Louise Casey likewise concluded that Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) ‘concerned a majority of white, female, adolescent or teenage victims and a majority of Pakistani heritage adult male perpetrators’...

Professor Alexis Jay, in her report in 2014, similarly concluded most perpetrators of organised grooming “were of Pakistani heritage”. Police in Rochdale also identified the men convicted at a trial as being “mainly British Pakistani”.

Slightly later, an independent review in the town of Telford concluded abusers were mainly males of ‘southern Asian heritage’. And, as in Rotherham, it noted efforts to explore the scandal and a problem with “Pakistani youths” had been shut down due to accusations of it being considered “racist”...

Even in Oxfordshire, where I found people rushing to downplay or refute these claims, a serious case review, in 2015, found as many as 373 children had been targeted over 16 years and called for research into why a significant proportion of people convicted in these kind of cases are of “Pakistani and/or Muslim heritage”.

Then, in 2020, academics Kish Bhatti-Sinclair and Charles Sutcliffe published an academic paper which examined 73 trials covering 44 towns and 498 accused. Analysing the names of accusers, they found 83% of the people prosecuted for ‘group localised child sexual exploitation’ were Muslim...

The profile of perpetrators, they suggest, might have something to do with the fact most British Pakistanis come from Mirpur, a rural, deprived and ultra-conservative region in Kashmir, where caste or biradari networks encourage communal crime and shame and honour codes incentivise those networks to defend perpetrators.

It’s also worth pointing out survivors of the scandal also highlight these cultural factors, noting how perpetrators routinely contrasted “good and pure” Muslim girls in their communities with white girls who “dress like slags” and “deserve to be gang-raped. One even quoted scriptures from the Quran as he beat her...

The blunt reality is that for much of the last twenty years nobody took these voices or the scandal seriously. Nobody wanted to do anything about it because it clashed with strengthening taboos around racism and, as I saw in Oxford, undermined the liberal progressive worldview which dominates the elite institutions.

One big reason why, even now, people struggle to talk about the grooming scandal is because it turns on its head the liberal progressive belief system which views all minorities as virtuous, the majority as oppressors and white graduate liberals, like those in Oxford, as the ‘saviours’ of those oppressed minorities.

The grooming scandal paints a very different picture of modern Britain —a place where members of a minority group oppress and exploit children from the majority, and where white liberals clearly have no interest in coming to save them.

From Rotherham to Telford, Oldham to Rochdale, Oxford to Peterborough, it has been the same story —social workers, councillors, teachers, politicians, and police ignoring or downplaying the scandal because of fears of being called ‘racist’, because they did not believe it, or because members of their community were implicated.

From one town to the next, the desire to not violate anti-racism taboos, to not be seen as politically correct and to conform to the elite consensus was routinely prioritised above ensuring the safety of children and, ultimately, upholding the law.

And this warped response has also been reflected in our our national conversation and prevailing culture where one journalist after another, one report after another, one institution after another, has consistently sought to ignore, downplay, or simply reframe the scandal so that it fits with the worldview of the new elite.

Typical of this reaction, as Guy Dampier notes, is the fact only one major drama has covered the scandal while when television soap Coronation Street, which is supposed to portray life in northern towns, ventured into it the plotlines involved a white man trying to pimp his white girlfriend and a white boy being groomed by the far-right.

The people who dominate the national conversation, in short, have consistently tried to push the scandal out of the public square, largely because it does not fit with their ideological worldview, or reimagine it so that it does...

It has been ignored in the institutions and —as I discovered in Oxford— continues to be denied and dismissed by some of the most highly educated people in the country who are supposed to prioritise evidence and truth about ideology.

Even today, it’s reflected in the glaring lack of calls from researchers, journalists, and others to urgently improve the quality of data on the scandal. Were this about the systematic abuse of children from any minority group in Britain there would be endless, loud and shrill demands for better data, better surveys, more research centres, more transparency, and more. Yet even now the silence is deafening.

Personally, I wasn’t surprised by the reaction in Oxford. It’s what happens when overeducated and insulated elites fall head first into what John McWhorter has called the ‘new religion’ of radical progressivism.

Their instinctive action is to shift attention and blame to the majority, away from minorities. They simply cannot accept anything which violates the sacred claims of the liberal progressive religion, like the fact members of a minority group are involved, and still involved, in the organised, mass rape of young white girls.

But that is exactly what is happening. And were it not for a few brave souls throwing light on it, the likes of Andrew Norfolk, Charlie Peters and Guy Dampier, and Ed West, then the scandal would remain firmly in the shadows.

Thank goodness it isn’t, even if Oxford dons remain in the darkness themselves."

Where is the moral outrage about Britain’s grooming gangs? | The Spectator

"Stead was most of all famous for the first great newspaper investigation, in 1885, ‘The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon’, on the scandal of child prostitution. Stead had bought a girl called Eliza for £5, on the premise that she was to be taken to a brothel on the continent, using quite dubious methods that got him sent to jail for three months.

Despite this, the story succeeded – a national scandal which led to a change in the law, the age of consent raised from 13 to 16. The idea of English girls being trafficked into sex outraged and horrified the public, Stead’s story imprinted itself deeply into the public psyche, to the extent of influencing George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion — thus, Eliza Doolittle...

A century or so later, in 2003, a journalist for the Times called Andrew Norfolk became aware of strange and disturbing rumours from Yorkshire. Originally reported by Labour MP Anne Cryer, they involved groups of mostly Pakistani men loitering around schools in Rotherham and sexually abusing girls, some as young as 13. There were supposedly whole gangs of men involved and the number of victims stood in the hundreds. Norfolk found it implausible; it sounded like a far-Right conspiracy.

Yet, as the Times journalist soon began to realise, this story was true. In fact, it was much bigger than anyone could really conceive, and it wasn’t just Rotherham, either; similar things were happening across the north of England and beyond. There were thousands of girls involved.

This was far more horrifying than the scandal Stead uncovered, yet no Parliamentary law resulted from the revelation. The story was extensively covered by Norfolk, and it inspired a drama and a couple of books by those involved. Yet no great national soul searching had followed — and that is why it is most likely still going on.

All of which makes tonight’s long-awaited GB News documentary Grooming Gangs: Britain’s Shame, so necessary. Presented by journalist Charlie Peters, who travelled across the country speaking to victims, whistle-blowers and campaigners in Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford (where I met him last October), the documentary is both harrowing and frustrating in the sheer sense of powerlessness it projects. Repeatedly the authorities knew what was happening, were passed the details of the abusers and evidence, gave reassurances that something would be done and then… nothing. 

Although grooming gangs have been uncovered in multiple towns and cities, the case of Rotherham remains the most shocking, not just for the scale of the abuse but the institutional response. 

Here Norfolk was able to access a number of reports on the council’s handling of abuse, one written by solicitor Adele Weir. Sent by the Home Office to study child prostitution, Weir found an abuse ring centred around a man called Arshid Hussain, discovering 270 victims with no fewer than 18 naming Arshid as their supposed ‘boyfriend’.

The police failed to act — even though the rapists involved were also dealing drugs.

In 2001 Weir took a young girl who’d been raped to report the crime to the police. While in the police station her abuser contacted her to say he had her younger sister. The gang had already broken her brother’s legs and so the terrified girl dropped the complaint. ‘You can’t protect me,’ she said. How the abuser found out she was in the police station has never been explained. When Weir complained to the police, she was told to never do it again, she and a colleague told off ‘like naughty schoolgirls’.

During her time Weir worked in the offices of a charity called Risky Business, which helped victims of sexual abuse. Now strange things happened at the office: a computer was interfered with, the minutes of a meeting changed; files and paperwork went missing after a break-in. The intruder, Peters suspects, could have been someone working for Rotherham council. 

Jayne Senior, who ran Risky Business, is among those who features in the documentary and it’s hard not to feel that one might go insane in her position, or at least develop a soul-crushing cynicism about how things worked.

Senior was heavily involved in trying to do something about the Rotherham scandal; in fact it was she who had helped Norfolk get a Serious Case Review for the murder of a girl called Laura Wilson. Wilson, aged 17, had been stabbed 40 times by her ex-boyfriend after telling his family about their relationship. But the review found that she’d been groomed by a group of men from an early age, and with an IQ of 58 was completely helpless to defend herself; and 15 different agencies were found to have failed. 

Rotherham Council wished to present this as a simple ‘honour killing’. The council also censored the report, then threatened to use a High Court Injunction to stop the publication of uncensored extracts.

Senior heard of a young girl who had been abused, and tried to alert the authorities. ‘I had a database where we had intelligence that we were putting there on a daily basis,’ she tells Peter. ‘And I’d get lots of things that were said to me in meetings, such as “these children were consenting”, “they were making informed choices”, “they were returning to their abusers”, “they wouldn’t make a good witness if it went to court”, and also we were breaching their human rights; but it was never the human rights of the children, it was the human rights of the perpetrators.’

In many cases the authorities were enabling these ‘relationships’; exactly a century after Stead’s great campaign the Lords had ruled that children under 16 could be given contraception without their parents’ consent; relationships between grown men and girls under 16 were treated as ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’. One 12-year-old victim was even offered Punjabi and Urdu lessons, the language of her abusers!

Senior’s campaign was relentless but seemingly futile. Repeatedly she would give the authorities details: ‘car registration numbers, names, nicknames, addresses, properties of concern…. we kind of collated a raft of that information that we kept, and we kept it in a database…. And people still say to me today, “why did they actually do nothing”. And I can’t give you the absolute answer to that, all I can tell you is what they said at the time: “the children were consenting”, “the children wouldn’t make good witnesses if they went to court”.’

In Rochdale, under the control of the Greater Manchester police, one policeman — the only whistle blower to resign over what was going on, reflected: ‘I couldn’t get any answers. All I was told was that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.’

It gets more and more bleak. A girl in Telford tells how she was raped a thousand times. In this Midlands new town built in the optimistic post-war era, children were sold for sex in a house, where local men would visit and note their names on a piece of paper; what the documentary makers describe as a ‘paedophile honesty box’. The girls were frightened because of what happened to Lucy Lowe, a 15-year-old girl who had been burned to death with her mother, sister, and unborn child — murdered by an abuser.

In Telford a group of teachers complained that ‘there was a problem in this authority with Pakistani youths’ abusing girls; a council worker accused them of being racist. One council worker failed to share reports because it was fearful it would ‘start a race riot’. 

Watching this, the inability of people to weigh up the seriousness of different social evils, I wonder to what extent this scandal was made worse by the Macpherson Report of 1999, and the terror public servants had of being accused of racism, or their department being accused of ‘institutional racism’. That is a career ending allegation in Britain, while in contrast allowing your town to become the scene of the worst mass rape in British history seems to make little dent.

The bitter aftertaste to this story comes from the fact that, after lengthy reports criticising councils and police forces, very few people have been disciplined; a handful of police were told off, but most of the people involved in the councils have happily progressed in their careers — including one who, incredibly, now thrives in the equality and diversity industry. The Labour party, the soul of which feels tarnished by the terrible moral compromises it has made with multiculturalism, even tried to make one of the Rotherham councillors an MP until GB News forced him to stand down. Fresh revelations about the council have emerged just in the past few days.

The running theme of this story is that institutions — whether the Labour party, social services, local authorities or police — repeatedly reward those responsible, until they feel the pressure of the media and of public outrage. And, apart from Norfolk’s investigation, this has been quite muted; even the Tory party has been reluctant to make capital over this scandal.

It’s a taboo issue, for obvious reasons, but that is why it is almost certainly still going on; because, as Peters says, political correctness is not just about being nice, it has serious, often horrific consequences...

We also need to ask about the role of the media, and the arts world, and the cultural powers who decide whether something is worth caring about. It’s significant that this has been left to GB News, a small and still fringe television channel, to tell the story. It should be on BBC1; this should be regularly discussed on the Today programme. My local arts cinema should be telling me about a new film portraying the scandal."

LInks - 19th August 2023 (2 - False Rape Claims)

Emmanuel Macron urged to sack disabled minister accused of rape - "Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has been urged to sack the newly appointed minister for solidarity and the disabled “as a precaution” after two women accused him of rape.  Opposition politicians from the Left have led the calls for the dismissal of Damien Abad...   Mr Abad said his disability, a disorder called arthrogryposis that affects all four of his limbs, made it physically impossible for him to commit the acts he was accused of."
Accused = guilty, regardless of facts

Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard denies rape allegations at sex assault trial - "Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard emphatically denied raping two women, one of whom was a teenager at the time, testifying in court Tuesday that both encounters were consensual and "passionate."  Taking the stand in his own defence at his sex assault trial, Hoggard, 37, acknowledged that certain acts alleged to have taken place during the two 2016 encounters — including spitting, slapping and calling the complainants "slut" and "whore" — could have happened because they were among his sexual preferences.  But he denied touching either of the complainants without their consent, or that the complainants cried or said no during the encounters. He also denied touching the younger complainant, a longtime fan he first met when she was 12, in a sexual way before she turned 16... It's an agreed fact in the case that Hoggard arranged to have each of the complainants meet him at Toronto-area hotels on two separate occasions in the fall of 2016.  Prosecutors allege that once at the hotel, Hoggard repeatedly raped the complainants, leaving them bleeding and bruised.  Both women have testified they cried and said no during the encounters. The younger complainant also said she tried to resist physically but Hoggard pinned her down. In his testimony Tuesday, Hoggard recalled enjoying the attention he received after the band rose to fame in 2004, noting it became much easier for him to meet women. One-night stands became commonplace while touring, even when he was in a relationship, the singer said, adding he built up a significant roster of sexual partners in various cities. It was "difficult" to be faithful and easier to "just enjoy the attention," he said.  It would be fairly common for him to arrange transportation through a travel agent to bring women to his hotel while on tour"
Apparently the complainants just wanted to go to his hotel room for coffee

Former Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard found guilty of sexually assaulting Ottawa woman - "Hoggard testified he was confident both complainants consented to their sexual encounters, but he couldn't say how they expressed that consent and had no detailed memories of what happened.  The Ottawa woman told the court she agreed to meet Hoggard in Toronto to have sex on Nov. 22, 2016. But instead of having consensual sex, she was raped anally, vaginally and orally, and at one point dragged by the legs into the bathroom, she told the court.  Both complainants testified Hoggard spit in their mouths, slapped them and called them derogatory names. The Ottawa woman testified Hoggard choked her so hard she feared for her life. In his testimony, the musician told the court that he had consensual, "passionate" sex with each of the complainants.  He acknowledged some of the acts the women described — including spitting, slapping and calling them profane names — may have happened because they were part of his sexual repertoire."
For rough sex and consensual non consent, it would be safe to have some form of documented consent (e.g. Jian Ghomeshi - but feminists were upset about that too)

How Concerning Are the Trump Administration’s New Title IX Regulations? | The New Yorker - "Betsy DeVos’s Department of Education issued its regulations on Title IX, which impose new legal requirements on how schools must conduct their discipline processes for sexual harassment and assault.  Immediately, prominent civil-rights attorneys expressed outrage... It was unclear, however, precisely what aspects of the regulations were so extreme and alarming. Uncharacteristically for the Trump Administration, the Education Department, in crafting the regulations, engaged with a large range of public comments and concerns—from schools, advocates for survivors, and advocates of due process—and the regulations reflect that engagement. They are not exactly as I would wish, but they clarify the rights of both victims and the accused in a way that is likely to lead to improvements in basic fairness. The suggestion that even the most controversial provisions of the regulations allow rape with impunity speaks to a disturbingly large gap between reality and rhetoric on the topic—one that is particularly important to address, so students do not get the false sense that they should not bother to report assaults... some advocates of fair process, among them law professors at Harvard (myself included), the University of Pennsylvania, and Cornell, raised concerns that the pressure to protect victims had led to an overcorrection: accused students were facing expulsion or suspension without fair procedures to defend against disciplinary charges. In many cases, accused students were not being given the complaint or identities of witnesses, and not being shown the evidence or the investigative report. Since 2011, hundreds of accused students have sued their schools for using unfair disciplinary procedures, and have won court judgments or received settlements. Courts have held that, just as it is sex discrimination under Title IX for schools to treat female victims of sexual assault unfairly, it can also be sex discrimination under Title IX to treat males accused of sexual misconduct unfairly... schools must employ a presumption of innocence, on which the Obama-era guidance was silent. Many schools have adopted the principle that they “start by believing” the alleged victim... In the years since DeVos’s rule-making process began, multiple federal and state courts have held that universities must allow cross-examination in disciplinary cases for sexual misconduct as a matter of either constitutional due process or contractual basic fairness, particularly because decisions often hinge on evaluations of credibility. The Obama-era guidance specifically discouraged allowing parties to personally cross-examine each other, out of concern that “allowing an alleged perpetrator to question an alleged victim directly may be traumatic or intimidating.”... Predictably, reactions to the Title IX rule-making have split across partisan lines"

Title IX and Campus Sexual Assault - "In an article published in the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, the University of Nevada’s Deborah Davis and University of California, Irvine’s Elizabeth F. Loftus write that Title IX investigators who conduct “trauma focused” or “trauma informed” interviews and investigations may inadvertently inflect a presumption of guilt into the complaint process. Davis and Loftus argue that the Obama Administration’s focus on trauma created “incorrect and unstated assumptions” about the reliability of complainants’ memories and the reality of their claims for investigations. These assumptions, they claim, “can mislead judgments” in grievance procedures and inappropriately favor the individual who filed a Title IX complaint."

Biden administration proposes overhaul to campus sexual assault rules, replacing Trump-era changes - "The Biden administration proposed a dramatic overhaul of campus sexual assault rules on Thursday, acting to expand protections for LGBTQ students, bolster the rights of victims and widen colleges' responsibilities in addressing sexual misconduct... For the first time, the rules would formally protect LGBTQ students under Title IX... DeVos' rules dramatically reshaped the way colleges handle allegations of sexual assault and harassment, with an emphasis on ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the accused."
Due process and constitutional rights are bad for the progressive agenda

Woman imported sausages to sell on Facebook and threatened to shout 'molest' during investigation, gets jail - "A woman illegally imported 36kg of sausages, meat and duck eggs from China, intending to sell them on Facebook.  When caught and asked to give a statement to a Singapore Food Agency (SFA) officer, she threatened to shout "molest", knowing it would injure his reputation"

Jail, caning for 2 assailants who attacked man over unproven rape allegation - "Two friends, who were out on bail, brutally attacked a man with a knife, a baton and a knuckleduster after the wife of one of the assailants accused the victim of raping her.  The attack was so vicious that the knuckleduster tore a chunk of flesh from the 29-year-old victim's head... District Judge Eddy Tham said that the rape allegation was unproven, adding: "(There is) no room for vigilante justice here."  The woman's husband, Andre Chen Si'En, 32, was sentenced to eight years' jail with nine strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty to two assault charges and one count of drug consumption.  The other assailant, Gervan Wong Jun Heng, 27, pleaded guilty to 14 charges, including assault, drug abuse and traffic offences."
Two men charged with grievously injuring man with metal baton, knuckleduster at Chua Chu Kang Cemetery - "Douglas Wong Wei Hao... Court documents showed that they allegedly struck him on his head and body, leaving him with a fractured hand, puncture wounds and lacerations on his legs, multiple abrasions on his arms and legs, and lacerations on his forehead and head... Gervan Wong already faces 24 other charges, two of which are violence-related."

Perplexingly, in Singapore, Consent is Possible Even If You’re Drunk - "a former Grab driver, Mr Tan Yew Sin, was acquitted of all charges of attempted rape, sexual assault, and outrage of modesty against a female passenger in 2018.   In his ruling, High Court judge Pang Khang Chau found the sexual acts with the woman were consensual after finding that the prosecution could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the woman lacked the capacity to consent to the sexual acts.   Despite being acquitted in the eyes of the law, when combing through the events that night, one cannot help but feel dissatisfied with the outcome.   Beyond the issue of consent, perhaps a different question to ask would be if men can be counted on to make rational, moral decisions under the duress of carnal gratification.   After all, sexual encounters are an agreement between two consenting parties. The responsibility lies equally between the two parties to decide whether they would both like to engage in any kind of sexual activity...   Justice Pang notes that the victim repeatedly rejected a friend’s offer to drive her home from the bar where she had been drinking, reassuring her friend that she was okay. The woman testified that she did this to avoid worrying her friend.   To this, Justice Pang said it demonstrated her ability to look beyond her immediate needs and consider how her friend felt.   Later, after the car reached her condominium, the woman told Tan she was not ready to leave. She was searching for her wallet to pay the driver then, and this showed her awareness of the circumstances under which she would be ready to leave the car, said the judge.  After the woman failed to access her residence, Tan asked her if she was okay, and she said she was. She testified that she responded in this way because she did not know Tan and did not want to say much.   This also demonstrated awareness of her surroundings and the differences in sharing personal information with different people, said Justice Pang.  In the car, she was emotional, thumping herself on the chest with her fist and banging her head on the window, but would stop each time Tan urged her to stop.   This showed an awareness of what Tan was saying to her, and her decision to accept his suggestion, continued the judge.   At the end of the sexual acts, the girl started saying “no” and pushing Tan’s hands away. She later agreed that this demonstrated her ability to express that she did not want to be touched.   This showed her awareness of what was happening and her ability to give or refuse consent, said Justice Pang.  After the sexual acts, Tan asked the girl if she was okay, to which she replied yes and asked him to continue driving. According to the judge, this showed her ability to assess whether she wanted to leave or remain in the car with Tan even after the sexual encounter... he could have refused her advances at every turn. Yet, he did not...   His actions point to the intrinsic male privilege that paved the way for him to disregard the woman’s state of mind and allow the burden of consent to rest entirely on her.   That night, between the two, one party was sober and in complete control of his decisions and faculty of mind. Yet, it’s the inebriated individual that was made to take responsibility for her actions, what she said, and what she may have suggested while intoxicated."
The police better stake out all nightlife spots, since everyone is sexually assaulting and/or raping each other there
Apparently women can be counted on to make rational, moral decisions under the duress of carnal gratification. Because men are evil
Consent means that if men don't reject women's advances, they can be guilty of sexual assault. Women never have agency and are always victims

Auxiliary cop made plans to have sex with male colleague then falsely accused him of rape - "An auxiliary policewoman, who initiated an intimate chat with her male colleague and made plans to have sex with him, later made a police report to falsely accuse him of rape.  The truth emerged when the authorities found out about the chat and plans after they checked her mobile phone.  Court documents did not disclose if the pair had consensual sex. When confronted, she claimed that she made the police report after seeing a doctor for a urinary tract infection (UTI)"

‘I went downhill’: man falsely accused of rape on becoming a hate figure - "When 18-year-old Jordan Trengove agreed to go on a night out with Eleanor Williams in 2019 he had no idea that accepting her invitation would not just land him in jail but make him the enemy of a global anti-grooming movement with its own line of merchandise... Trengove spent his 19th birthday in prison, serving 10 weeks on remand before police realised the evidence against him didn’t stack up. The girl Trengove actually had sex with on 9 March gave police a selfie she had taken in the back of the police van, while suspicion grew that far from being a particularly unlucky victim of multiple rapes, Eleanor Williams was in fact a fantasist making one false allegation after the other with the help of social media. Not only did she create fake profiles to frame Trengove and some of her other victims, she started up explicit conversations with innocent men – on Tinder, Snapchat or the intimate photo sharing site OnlyFans, where she had an account – and renamed them in her phone so that it looked as though their penis photos and propositions were coming from those she falsely accused.  Out of jail, Trengove was a free man but an outcast in Barrow. “I was barred from everywhere. I was called a rapist, a nonce.” Within a few months he moved away. “I thought it would end but the first day we moved in I had someone shout rapist at me. It was clear then that no matter where I went, someone would always know.” Things calmed down and then on 20 May 2020 Williams posted the fatal Facebook page alleging that she had been trafficked and exploited by an Asian grooming gang.  She didn’t name Trengove, but his name soon became linked with the case, regardless of his skin colour, as more than 100,000 people joined the Justice For Ellie Facebook page and bought elephant-themed wristbands, keyrings and bumper stickers to express solidarity. A rally was organised where convoys of cars drove from Barrow to the town where Trengove now lives, flying Justice for Ellie banners. He tried to tell protesters the truth but no one would listen. “I went downhill,” he said. “I tried killing myself over it. I tried running away from it all. I tried ending my relationship, walking away from my family.  “The amount of problems put on my life just from one [Facebook] post is ridiculous. Because I’m autistic, it’s even harder. I got diagnosed with complex PTSD because of it all."
Rape culture means that men who rape are demonised. White straight cis men are the most privileged in society, which is why false rape claims made against them are never believed

109 women prosecuted for false rape claims in five years, say campaigners - "At least 109 women have been prosecuted in the last five years for making false rape allegations in the UK, according to campaigners who are calling for an end to what they claim is the aggressive pursuit of such cases.  On Tuesday, the charity Women Against Rape (War) is taking its campaign to the House of Commons, where some of those who have been jailed for lying about rape allegations will speak out against their treatment by the authorities... A US law professor, who will be speaking at the Commons, said the UK’s stance on false allegations is more aggressive than in countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia. Prof Lisa Avalos, of the University of Arkansas, said false allegations in the US were dealt with as a misdemeanour offence, not a felony – and most women were not jailed if found guilty.  “In the course of my research I have not found any country that pursues these cases against women rape complainants in the way the UK does. The UK has an unusual approach and I think their approach violates human rights”... But Prof Claire Ferguson, a forensic criminologist from the University of New England in New South Wales, Australia, said it was not the norm to prosecute women for false allegations and that only those in the most egregious cases were charged, often where the accused man had spent time in custody.  “There have been cases in Australia where people have been accused, then nothing ever happens to the accuser, even though the police believe the report is indeed false.  “This can be hugely problematic and has led to many personal and professional issues for the accused [including suicide], even when the police have proven that they did nothing wrong and are not a sex offender”... The director of public prosecutions, Alison Saunders, is scheduled to publish a statement on the case of Eleanor de Freitas, a rape complainant who killed herself on the eve of a prosecution for perverting the course of justice."
Clearly no women should be prosecuted for false rape accusations, since that is bad for women, who will be afraid to make false rape accusations. Human rights means that you can make false rape accusations and nothing should happen to you
If someone who makes a false rape accusation kills herself, that shows that we shouldn't prosecute false rape accusations. But if someone who is accused of rape kills himself, that shows that he was guilty and we need to prosecute rapists more strenuously

False memories of sexual abuse lead to terrible miscarriages of justice - "Many of those working in our legal system have such a poor understanding of the nature of human memory that miscarriages of justice are an almost inevitable consequence, according to a book published today by the British False Memory Society. Miscarriage of Memory, edited by William Burgoyne, Norman Brand, Madeline Greenhalgh and Donna Kelly, presents factual accounts of prosecutions in the UK that were based entirely upon memories of sexual abuse recovered during therapy in the absence of any supporting evidence. Typically such cases occur when a vulnerable individual seeks help from a psychotherapist for a commonly occurring psychological problem such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and so on. At this stage, the client has no conscious memories of ever being the victim of childhood sexual abuse and is likely to firmly reject any suggestion of such abuse. To a particular sort of well-meaning psychotherapist, however, such denial is itself evidence that the abuse really did occur.  Despite strong criticism from experimental psychologists, many psychotherapists still accept the Freudian notion of repression... On the evidence of a huge amount of well-controlled research, we can now be confident that these memory recovery techniques are highly likely to give rise to false memories – apparent memories for events that never took place.  The memories can be detailed and extremely bizarre, involving ritualised Satanic abuse, gross acts of sexual perversion, cannibalism, human and animal sacrifice, and so on. But they may be nothing more than fleeting images. Indeed, some patients never manage to recover explicit "memories" of abuse but are convinced that such abuse must have occurred because their therapist, who is perceived as an authority figure, tells them that it is the only explanation for their unhappiness.  Whether the patient "recovers" explicit memories or not, the end result will be a family torn apart, with all the heartache, confusion and lasting emotional damage that entails... many hundreds of people have been wrongfully convicted in the UK because juries and those involved in the legal system relied upon "common sense" in considering issues relating to memory. Several thousand case histories have been referred to the British False Memory Society and at least 672 of these are known to have involved the police or higher legal authorities.  It is imperative that those working in the legal system are familiar, at least in general terms, with the way that memory works. Experimental psychologists, following the initial controversy over the veracity of recovered memories back in the 1980s, have developed several reliable techniques to study factors that influence the formation and maintenance of false memories. The studies have proved beyond doubt that false memories can be produced quite readily in susceptible individuals.  Of course, false memories do not only arise in the context of sexual abuse allegations...        Another dramatic case further illustrates the way in which witnesses can sometimes confuse the source of their memories, with potentially catastrophic results. Donald Thomson, an Australian psychologist, was bewildered when the police informed him that he was a suspect in a rape case, his description matching almost exactly that provided by the victim. Fortunately for Thomson, he had a watertight alibi. At the time of the rape, he was taking part in a live TV interview – ironically, on the fallibility of eyewitness testimony. It turned out that the victim had been watching Thomson on TV just before the rape occurred and had confused her memory of him with that of the rapist.  Well-controlled experiments have also shown conclusively that memory can become contaminated when co-witnesses discuss their recall of events, a phenomenon known as "memory conformity""

NY agrees to pay $5.5M to man exonerated in Alice Sebold’s rape - "New York state has agreed to pay $5.5 million to a man who was exonerated after spending 16 years in prison for the rape of award-winning novelist Alice Sebold when she was a student at Syracuse University in 1981... Anthony Broadwater, 62, sued the state for damages after his conviction was overturned by a judge in November 2021 — nearly 22 years following his release from prison in 1999... Seabold – renowned for writing 2002 novel “The Lovely Bones,” which was made into a movie – wrote the 1999 memoir “Lucky” about her experience being raped. The memoir led a review of the murder case.  The judge overturned Broadwater’s conviction because of flaws in the prosecution case – and Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick apologized to Broadwater at the time of his exoneration... Broadwater was ultimately convicted when Sebold identified him in the courtroom during her testimony. And an expert testified that a microscopic hair linked him to the assault.  The type of hair analysis is now regarded as junk science by the US Department of Justice. “Lucky,” Sebold’s memoir describing the rape, was slated to be turned into a movie by Netflix but the project was canceled after the conviction was overturned... Tim Mucciante was one of the producers slated for the movie but backed out of the project and hired a private investigator to look into Broadwater’s case after he found discrepancies between the memoir and the movie script."

Renson Seow - "Hopefully the terror he felt at being the target of a false rape accusation has made him realise just how wrong he was in the past to support bare allegations of sexual misconduct without evidence. And yeah, I bet his accuser wasn't charged too even though video evidence showed that the allegation was completely false. Instead, Dee Kosh ended up being charged instead for the video that saved him. Maybe now he'll realise just how stacked the deck is against men who are falsely accused."

Veteran athletics coach acquitted of molesting athlete in 2013 after appeal - "A veteran athletics coach who was sentenced to 21 months’ jail in 2020 for molesting an athlete in 2013 has been acquitted of both charges after appealing to the High Court.  Mr Loh Siang Piow, 79, also known as Mr Loh Chan Pew, was acquitted of two charges of using criminal force on the then-18-year-old woman at Tampines Stadium to outrage her modesty... Justice Hoo Sheau Peng said the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.  The alleged victim, named only as Ms C, was the sole witness in the case and her testimony had to be unusually convincing to secure a conviction.  Justice Hoo said there were “serious doubts as to the veracity of Ms C’s allegations”...   According to Ms C, Mr Loh molested her under the guise of giving her massages after their individual training sessions on Feb 24 and Mar 15 in 2013. Justice Hoo pointed out that at that time, there was a prevalent practice in the athletics community for coaches to give trainees massages after intensive training.  She said that Ms C’s messages contain inconsistencies with her version in court about the events. She had also “exaggerated” aspects of the events.  “Even in court, her account of where she was touched has been unclear, and her account that she allegedly experienced an involuntary orgasm from the violation of her body seemed to be an embellishment,” said Justice Hoo.  She also pointed to Ms C’s seemingly “jovial mood” hours after allegedly being molested.  Ms C had also shifted positions on the date of the second offence at trial and was unable to recall material details or even where she had been touched... Ms C lodged the police report in June 2016, after reading a newspaper report about a coach being accused of molest.  Thinking the offender could be Mr Loh, she decided to lodge the police report because she was worried that other new trainees might suffer her plight while training under Mr Loh.  However, the newspaper report concerned a different coach.  “What I find troubling is that Ms C’s communications with (another party) at that time revealed some strongly worded condemnation of sexual offenders in general”... She said that if Ms C had misunderstood Mr Loh’s conduct in 2013, there is the distinct possibility that over the three years, this misunderstanding might have deepened, especially after more conversations with other people.  “Unfortunately, I could not discount the possibility that there was a build-up of mistrust towards Mr Loh over the three years. Precipitated by the newspaper report, and coupled with her strong sentiments against sexual offenders, the complaint was eventually made in 2016,” said Justice Hoo."

Veteran coach cleared of all molestation charges - "The prosecution applied to withdraw the remaining charges against him relating to a second accuser, who was 16 at the time of the alleged offences between 2011 and 2012...   Justice Hoo noted that Ms C’s account of the first incident lacked specific details on the training session and that she was not entirely clear where she was touched.  Ms C said her father accompanied her to a training session after she expressed discomfort with Mr Loh’s massages. But this account was not supported by either parent.  The judge said Ms C exaggerated aspects of the events and embellished her account to present a more persuasive case against Mr Loh.  However, Justice Hoo said she did not think Ms C had any malicious intention to frame Mr Loh."
RIP life savings. And another false accusation goes unpunished (and isn't counted as one, so feminists can continue to pretend they are rare)

Commentary: Time to reconsider if accused persons should be named before conviction - "An accused person may very well be innocent of whatever he has been accused of, yet the moment he is charged, he is subject to a barrage of speculation and censure. Even if his name is eventually cleared, the damage will already have been done.  This is inconsistent with a fundamental principle of our justice system, that one is presumed innocent until and unless that one is found guilty by a court of law.  Yet, accused persons commonly suffer negative consequences even before they have had a chance to mount their defence, let alone have judgment rendered. They may be ostracised, lose their jobs, and suffer from extreme anxiety.  The law should not turn a blind eye to these real and serious, though non-legal, consequences.  Our criminal justice system protects not just victims and society in general. The safeguarding of the rights of the accused person is also a key requirement of justice. The issue is not whether offenders should be publicly named — they should — the question is when they should be publicly named.  A better way to balance the rights of the accused person and the interests of open justice would be to prohibit the publication of the accused’s name, until he is convicted and has exhausted his avenues of appeal. This would prevent unwarranted censure of people who are eventually acquitted... In Switzerland, accused persons may be granted anonymity if the Court is satisfied that they could be exposed to serious danger or other serious prejudice.   In New Zealand and Australia, where there are jury trials, the Court may prohibit disclosure of an accused person’s identity if disclosure could create a serious risk of prejudice to a fair trial... there is a high risk of public bias towards accused persons. One of my students once wrote in an assignment that, prior to her law school experience, she had always assumed that an accused person would be guilty, since they would not have been charged without good reason.   Singapore is a victim of its own success in this regard. Trust in law enforcement and public institutions is very high: For example, in the 2022 World Justice Project report, Singapore was rated 0.83/1 in terms of the effectiveness of the criminal justice system and 0.77/1 in terms of impartiality.   One solution to this problem is obviously better public education about the presumption of innocence, but it is unrealistic to expect that this will get through to everyone.   The problem also needs to be mitigated by more pragmatic solutions, such as simply not disclosing the name of the accused. Second, there is a growing interest in criminal cases.   For example, the high-profile acquittals of Ms Parti Liyani and Dr Yeo Sow Nam generated a lot of public discussion. Ms Parti Liyani was acquitted of theft in 2020, and Dr Yeo was acquitted of outrage of modesty in 2021.   In both cases, the accused persons suffered several years of stigma and anxiety before their eventual acquittals. The effects are not just confined to the accused person: Dr Yeo’s family also suffered humiliation and hurt from seeing their father’s name dragged through the mud.  The growth of online news sources has made it such that members of the public need no longer attend trials in person or rely on reliable news sources... The principle of open justice is designed to facilitate just that, justice, not to provide fodder for the rumour mill... Third, there is a growing risk of online vigilantism. In the age of cancel culture, it is all too easy to get people riled up about alleged wrongs. In some cases, this can go beyond mere outrage and evolve into abusive behaviour.  For example, in 2016, freelance dog trainer Mark Lin You Cheng began a campaign of online harassment against Ms Soon Kim Choo after incorrectly alleging that she had been involved in a hit and run with a dog near an animal shelter.   Ms Soon received phone calls and messages harassing her over the incident even though she was not the driver involved.  Online vigilantism could be corrosive to respect for public institutions, including the courts and the Public Prosecutor... protecting the identity of the accused person prior to conviction does not offend against the principle of open justice."

MPs call for protection of those falsely accused of sexual crimes - "Nominated MP Raj Joshua Thomas called for a study on whether or not the identities of those accused of sexual crimes should be published before they are convicted and have exhausted all avenues of appeal. He cited the cases of Dr Yeo Sow Nam, who was given a discharge last month amounting to an acquittal for four counts of outraging a woman's modesty after his accuser admitted she had lied in court, as well as Mr Ong Mingwee, who was initially convicted of rape before being acquitted on appeal in 2012."
