What is wrong with people? That's just sick when you accuse someone of doing this knowing it's a lie.
Unfortunately it happens all the time.
To me it's the cruelist thing you can do to real rape victims. Because whenever cases like this comes up, it will be even harder to make the cops take report (or how do you put that in english?).
Some years ago here in Denmark we had an ongoing story (it ran for several months and even made it to trial) that some cops were forcing hookers to perform fellatio and would sometimes rape the street hookers. It was huge, and eventually one of the accused cops killed himself.
As it turned out, it was a dimwitted reporter who simply took the hooker's word for it and ran with it. He even paid her some of the times to do further interviews with her (ethics, man!).
It turned out to be all lies upon lies.
What do that reporter do now? Well, he has a very cushioned job as a teacher. In journalism.
Sorry, I know it's anecdotal, but it goes to show much false accusations can screw up people's lives.
Thank God for security cameras.
