Some girl was raped in my high school!

I do hope that if the event didn't happen, she gets some sort of punishment for making up the story, like at least some hours of community service to compensate for the time and ebergy spent by the police force and school administration on this. or if it didn't happen, she should at least get counseling - by making this up, she has made it worse for those who actually have this happen to them and risk not being believed.

If they did a rape kit, why didn't she confess making it up then, if she knew they wouldnot find anything?

What an awful thing to have happened - she needs counseling whichever is the case.

I hear of these things happening more and more. It is usually the case that a girl get dumped, then wants revenge so goes to the police and cries rape. I personally know two men that this has happened to. One was actually arrested by the police and the other just had a smear campaign started in their group of friends. Even though the truth came out both times, it still ruins the guys reputation. People seem to forget the truth, and the guys get followed around with "didn't he raped some girl" for a long time. It is amazing what people will do for attention.

Because this girl is young, I agree with Karen, she should do community service, but if she was older, I think she should be charged.

maybe she "took it back" because she was threatened by someone....? the story was published, the high chance it can happen?

what I can't understand is why would a girl, in either case, tell then take it all back, especially it was in newspapers? I think that's worse than if it was true it has happened.

either way, ugh. never be alone and always watch out, animal_rescue!

Before I even read your second post, I had my suspicions. That girl really needs counseling. Your friend is dating a teacher?? Um, with all due respect, there are laws against that kind of thing.

My friend is 28.

so you mean the principal emailed teacher, the teacher told 28 year-old date about the girl?

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying. When you said your friend was dating a teacher, I was thinking more like Mary Kay Latourneau. Sorry.

Yea, the principal e-mailed all the teachers and told them, then the teacher told his g/f and she told me, since I was the one that told her about the newspaper article.
