Nun Mary Turcotte recants accusation of rape after police release sketch of made-up suspect
NY Daily News ^ | 1 Feb 2010 | Alison Gendar and James Fanelli

A Brooklyn nun from a fringe Christian sect has confessed to an unholy lie: telling cops she was sexually attacked and left unconscious in a snowbank, sources said Monday.

After a police search for a hulking black man was launched, the 26-year-old white woman from the Apostles of Infinite Love convent in East Flatbush recanted, the sources said.

She told cops she made up the story in an attempt to cover up a consensual sex romp with a bodega worker inside the Glenwood Ave. residence.

A woman in religious garb who answered the door at the convent said the nun, identified as Mary Turcotte, suffered an "emotional break" and made everything up - even her excuse.

"Nothing happened, none of it," said the woman, who declined to give her name.

"It was all proven to be false. It wasn't her fault. She is going to move out and we are going to get her some help."

The convent appears to be linked to a Canadian-based religious order founded in the 1960s by a defrocked Catholic priest who ordained himself Pope.

They should arrest her and she should face the same punishment that a person who commits rape would face. I'm sick of people being allowed to falsely accuse others and get off with little to no punishment.

Like the Duke rape case where the girl was lying...she should have faced 7 charges of lying about rape (or however many people she accused) with punishment equal to having committed rape 7 times. That might just put a damper on people lying about rape and sex crimes. Right now it's too easy for a person to claim domestic abuse, rape, abuse,etc...

There is a difference between what this nun did and what the prostitute did at Duke. The nun should face charges of making a false report.

Yeah, like "rev" Al ought to be still sitting in the slammer for helping/instigating the Tawana Brawley story: not only was she raped but physically beaten and body covered with "human dung!" Named GOP white official as perp!

My reason for refusing to give any attention to Hannity as he has given so much air time - why in the world even give the guy a megaphone, much less treat him as a "guest?"

I don’t see much difference. What would happen if they picked up someone that matched the description? That alone is enough to ruin someone’s life. I know someone who was falsely accused of stuff and it destroyed his life...even though charges were later dropped.

I say a false report should be punished by the same penalty of the crime they are charging.

The use of “nun” in this story and headline is irresponsible. She is not a nun in any normmal sense of the word. She belongs to some wackgroup.

You have friends in high places who share your opinion:

If a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing,
then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.
The judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely,
then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother
. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
-- Deuteronomy 19:16-19

Stone her back to the Dark Ages... or pray for her to meet Jesus!!! She should be prosecuted for the false report and waste of time. Fines would be good.

Wait, all I was saying, is that the religious requirement for Catholics is that they don't eat meat on Friday!

It should be very obvious from my sentence!

This is not a Roman Catholic Church. The Priest who started this wacko outfit is a renegade and has declared himself pope. This newspaper? ought to be ashamed of itself for setting this up as if it were a Roman Catholic Church. Let’s hear it for the lamestream media again. Their ugliness knows no boundaries.

It truly is hideous, but if I understand history, it was ever thus. It was only in the 20th century that they began to pretend they were 'objective'.
