She never lies about rape??

[ronburgundy]

Actually, nothing in the article confirms that she was a child when she invented these lies.

She claimed these incidents occurred in the past over a six year period and that her father's strict parenting had "ruined her life." That all implies someone at least in the late teens if not already an adult.

At minimum she is old enough that there is no stark psychological divide between her and many young women of college age. So discounting her as a relevant instance of a female lying about rape to punish someone is dishonest bullshit, only exceeding by Playball's attempt to discount her for being British.

I discounted nothing, only added information. The fact they said she was "too young" to grasp the words she was repeating/reciting indicated to me she is not an adult. That was in another article. The fact that it was in Britain was to prevent us from starting any arguments based on US laws. That's all.

Bullshit. You presented one irrelevant fact (she is British) and made one false assertion of fact (she is a child) to try and discount the incident as having no bearing upon the issue of how rape accusations by adults are dealt with in the US.

The article does not say she was too young to grasp the words. It merely said that her phrasing about how it impacted her and how she felt were too more sophisticated than is typical for someone her age. The same is likely true for the majority of 18 year olds, who don't naturally speak in the manner of literary prose.

The fact she was British has zero relevance to anything. The issue of people lying about being raped, and that punishing the accused is a plausible motive to do so has relevance to any laws and policies everywhere regarding the required evidence needed to act upon any rape accusation.

Odds are that she is somewhere between 16 and 20, and thus her use of a rape lie to punish someone is relevant to discussions about rape policies like those on many college campuses that presume such lies are virtually non-existent and thus no evidence supporting the accusation is really needed to punish the accused. The fact that the accusation is made is treated as though it is its own evidence.

Who said this girl didn't lie about a rape? Was there another thread on the topic that I missed?

There are some that insist the woman doesn't ever lie about being raped.

This is a case where she without a doubt lied.

Why does this always come up? I have yet to ever see anyone say that women never lie about this. But, for some reason, those that bring these cases forward always seem to think that someone did say that.

I've read a number of articles regarding this case. She is referred to as a child in those articles, including directly by the British equivalent of defense attorney for her father.

Your speculation on her age is based on whatever you have pulled out of your ass.

Written by someone who has not raised a daughter. For all we know, she could be 12 to 14 years old.
