Sorry to hear what you went thru, man...
I recall an ex-neighbour of mine was wrongly accused of rape many
years back. He was convicted and sentenced to (if I'm not wrong, 8
years) but was let off after 5.
What happened was his wife truly believe his innocence and spent
their life savings hiring a private eye to pursue this woman, his
accuser. It finally came to light that she was (and still is a
prostitute) and usually profession of this nature did attract the
interest of the police who ordered a fresh investigation.
Well, this man was a cabby and this woman had taken his cab and
upon reaching the destination, offered sex for payment of the fare.
He refused to accept it and even said that she could pay him the
money when she have it (of course, he asked for her particulars).
She flew into a rage, attacked him and in the very fierce
struggle/fight, both suffered injuries and torn clothings.
He stopped when she pulled out a knife (small one but still lethal
nevertheless) and she forcefully masturbated him and then apply
some semen onto her privates (he did not ejaculate but the trace of
semen was harm enough).
She then cried bloody rape and well, the man was arrested. Test
found that intercourse was recent (she just had a non-paying
customer prior to hailing the cab) coupled with the trace of semen,
the cabbie was finished....until, finally...release... but what
pain for him and his family!
Frankly, did justice really prevailed ? He was paid a tidy sum for
loss of income plus some damages (how much ? no idea) but his
episode really leave a very bad aftertaste in my mouth for the
slipshod manner in the initial conviction.
Yes, do be careful, guys but sometimes we have to count on more
than common sense...we need to have the six sense to anticipate
trouble too.
Just my thoughts.
