1. An alibi,
2. Revenge, rage or retribution,
3. Compensation for a sense of personal failure,
4. Overwhelming need for attention.
5. Financial motives (not through legal channels, but for settlements)
6. Political

the "list".

One thing, that should be glaringly obvious, is missing in this list.

How many of these were determined not to be true allegations because a woman dropped the charges? Where do those fit in?

quote:

For example, in terms of the initial disclosure, unlike false accusers, true victims tend to go directly to law enforcement to file a report. False accusers are more apt to tell family members or close friends, who either report the rape themselves or push the victim to do so.

Really??? We are going with that, really???

McDowell compared the initial rape accusations made by "proven" victims with those made by "disproved" complainants.

You can "go with that" if you want... its a lie. A blatant lie. A lie so abhorrent that it makes it impossible for me to take what else he wrote without skepticism.

quote:

The research indicates that liars are more likely to tell family members or close friends first, rather than the police ... it makes no comment, nor judgment about women who have actually been raped, but did not report it, nor does it say that women who have actually been raped do not sometimes tell family members or close friends first.

quote:

Many victims say that reporting is the last thing they want to do right after being attacked. That's perfectly understandable — reporting can seem invasive, time consuming and difficult

quote:

Understandably, many people aren't ready to make the decision about prosecution immediately after an attack. It's normal to want time to think about the decision and talk it over with friends and family.

You know, if these women want money they should sue Ted Kennedy's estate.
That would at least be believable as he was a known drunk and philanderer.

It said liars tell families first and friends first.

He compares true victims... those who go to police

with false accusers... those who tell family or close friends

"Our research discovered, out of the proven liars, that 53% tend to go to family and friends first to mention the fabricated rape.  Women who have actually been raped, when they report it, tend to go to the police first, with 52% of them doing so."

In a nutshell, you are then taking an emotional position saying "he's a lying scum bag!" because of that concept.

Another 212 of the total reports were found to be "disproved" as the alleged victim convincingly admitted the complaint was a "hoax" at some point during the initial investigation.
