Just read a post on reddit about a male college freshman being accused on sexual assault/rape. Some scary shite. Have any OTers known someone get accused of sexual assault/rape while in college?

And this is from an older study on false rape accusations:

quote:

With the cooperation of the police agency of a small metropolitan community, 45 consecutive, disposed, false rape allegations covering a 9 year period were
studied. These false rape allegations constitute 41% the total forcible rape cases (n = 109) reported during this period. These false allegations appear to serve three major functions for the complainants: providing an alibi, seeking revenge, and obtaining sympathy and attention. False rape allegations are not the consequence of a gender-linked aberration, as frequently claimed, but reflect impulsive and desperate efforts to cope with personal and social stress situations.


As a single guy/professional, this is some scary shite. Definitely makes me think twice about casual hookups.

False rape accusations are awful.

All it takes is one pissed off chick.


zero evidence. You could never even have been alone in the same room as her.

But one baseless accusation can get you drug through the mud and your name plastered everywhere like you'd murdered a bus full of nuns on the way to a puppy farm.

My son is 5 years from going to college and this issue scares the hell out of me for him. It's got to the point I think all parents should sit their later teen years age sons down and have a frank talk to them about the dangers they face regarding false rape accusations.

Her word gets more leverage.

And can ruin your career if you're a professional.

It's scary. I'm not even sure what a guy can do to protect himself. Let's say you talk with a girl on tinder, she comes over that night, you both hook-up, and she regrets it in the morning. Your friends don't know her. She's just a random girl. What happens when she makes an accusation?

I feel like Tinder records could be pulled in this scenario, but maybe not.

Just a guess here... an investigation?

I had the above tinder scenario happen a week or so ago. Obviously with no accusation.

But I was thinking, if she did make an accusation, how would our tinder conversation benefit me? It would just show that she was interested, possibly dtf, and wanted to hang out.

let's say you get put away for 30 years due to a false rape allegation.

you have to kill her when you get out, right?

I would think that would be enough in this case, but I'm obviously not a lawyer. Tinder is just there for hookups, you match, and agree to meet at your place, then she says she was "raped"

question to ask at this point is

1. why would a girl NEED to be raped? she went someplace to hookup.

would suck for the girl who actually got somehow wronged in this scenario but it would be enough for me to toss out the case

It just shows mutual interest and that she came over. Anything beyond that point is your word vs. hers.

it's that very reason I never leave the house without a stack of hold harmless agreements.

It would be more evidence than she has.
