... a lesson young people should learn earlier than later. www.independentsentinel.com/2012/05/brian-banks-falsely-imprisoned-over-a-rape-allegation/Promising football star, accepted an offer to play at USC, potential NFL career, falsely accused of rape and kidnapping, spent 5 years in jail, and was probably labeled a rapist by the world. From 17 to 27, 10 years of his life and all his aspirations, crushed by an evil girl, who not only sent an innocent boy to jail, but profitted $1.5M from it, and apologized to him in secreat after he served his sentence, because she didn't want to give the money back. Stay clear of the psychopaths and sociopaths. |

That is some sad story. It is really depressing because it damages the stories of women who really were attacked.

I think the system failed in this instance. Mainly because the woman said that they never even had intercourse. So, I have to wonder why no rape kit was asked for by the police or the DA. It's kinda discouraging that when I bring this up, the typical answer I hear is 'well, the DA isn't going to help the defense team.' But, the DA is a public civil servant who should seek the truth. It's not all on him, but I think Banks had a lousy lawyer because you get what you pay for. Really a shame that it ever got this far.

I don't think she was initially in it for the money. Plus, I could be wrong on this...but the rape kits I think can last up to a month or at least whatever is used to detect semen. Since they didn't have intercourse it should have came up negative. Not to mention that I don't believe somebody would be kidnapped and raped without some sort of bruising somehwere and the accuser basically said that they made out, but stopped at that.
May be one of those cases where somebody started spreading a nasty rumor about the accuser being with Banks and then to 'save face' she lied and claimed she was kidnapped and raped and then her family sued for $1.5 million on her behalf and she kept the story going because she's a worthless sack of shit.

Heard about something similar happening to a young actor. Some girl (for whatever reason) told her cousins that the actor raped her. So they shot him up. 4 lives ruined because someone thought it would be a good idea to lie about something as serious as rape...

I hope that girl goes to jail or something. |
