That's a very ugly story, and it points to another important point. Sometimes, when we don't believe an accuser, the issue isn't that the accuser is lying. The accuser may simply be mistaken or have jumped to a wrong conclusion. Sadly, in the effort to encourage women to come forward when they are really harmed, we've lost the ability to analyze these situation carefully. I'm glad that no further harm came to you.
I know, Thank God. I put my Apple //e away for the weekend, didn;t touch a computer at all, but my college work required it so I put it back together and only used the modem to call up the college mainframe for my assignments. Yeah, you're right, it was more of a "jump to conclusion thing" than a lying thing but still you can hurt a lot of innocents that way. The scariest was my almost blacking out, (I remember driving but not much) while driving. I had a friend who did the same thing when he was super drunk, it got so bad, he blacked out Wednesday and came out of it Sunday, he just kept driving around for that time, woke up in Ohio.
I'm pretty much over it, but it is a shame that had such a negative experience. Sounds like you had a rough time too.
