Full title: Female blogger is ordered to pay US Army colonel she accused of rape $8.4million in damages after he claimed the false allegations cost him a sparkling military career

A jury has ordered a female blogger to pay an Army colonel she accused of rape a total of $8.4million in damages.

Susan Shannon, 52, who now lives in Everett, Washington, first alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Army Colonel David 'Wil' Riggins in 1986, while they were both cadets, on her blog in 2013.

She said she waited three decades to come forward about her experience because of the army's 'code of silence'.

But Riggins, also 52, who vehemently denied the claims, said the 'false' allegations had cost him a sparkling military career.

Interesting timing of this article that appeared today. The date is last year so I was curiously intrigued by the subject and timing. Just saying.......

It’s too bad this lying female dog is not forced to spend the rest of her life in prison at hard labor working to pay back what she owes but never can pay back.

She’ll have some difficulty paying from prison.

Good.

Should be sent to jail but since she did not make a police report that is impossible.

And shame on the US Army for squashing his promotion on a false report.

Susan Shannon needs to be held in jail until she pays up, in full.

I sometimes look up Mrs Riggins on Twitter. She posted that SS put in an application to have her house refinanced. I think it was approved. Occasionally, she tweets to the now defunct shortlittlerebel that she needs to start making payments because the charges aren’t going away.

Nah, It’s appropriate that this is posted again now. It’s relevant. Maybe put a notice in the title that it’s a duplicate, from last year.

By the way, to address a request to the mods about your own thread, either hit “abuse” on your own thread, or address a reply to “Admin Moderator”. I did it for you.

Wait a minute. Didn’t Hannity say that women don’t lie about that? Don’t the #MeToo girls claim women never lie about that?

Which is why Ford cannot possibly be telling a lie.

Women don’t, can’t, never have.

Some woman pulled that one me one time. "Women who have been raped don't lie about it."

To which I immediately replied, "What about women who haven't been raped?

I’m seeing more and more evidence that the 19th Amendment was a mistake.
