Crime KU student went to cops to report a rape. Now she’s the one charged with a crime.
Kansas City Star ^ | 09/08/2019 | Katie Berenard

In September 2018 a University of Kansas student met with police officers outside Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

She explained to an officer that she had been raped the day before. The details, however, were blurry because she was drunk at the time, she said, according to court documents.

Worried about what reporting a rape could mean for her career, she told officers she did not want to press charges. But she allowed them to look through her phone before going inside for a rape examination.

Lawrence police detectives decided the student was lying and, without telling her, investigated her rather than the alleged rapist, according to motions filed by the woman’s attorney in Douglas County District Court.

Five months later she was arrested and charged with falsely reporting a felony crime.

According to a 2009 University of Massachusetts study, about two to eight percent of rapes reported are false.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson says this is one of them.

“The State believes the evidence shows the Defendant fabricated the rape story to effect the relationship between herself and the victim ... and her ex-boyfriend,” Branson said in a statement.

“The State believes the evidence presented at the preliminary hearing, including: the testimony of (the victim), (her ex-boyfriend), law enforcement officers, and evidence collected by law enforcement, specifically, text messages from the Defendant to her friend …indicate the sexual encounter … was consensual.”

Actual rape victims deserve justice.

Men falsely accused of rape deserve justice as well.

Sounds like regret to me. Regret is not rape.

I met my wife while we were both young enlisted troops in the Air Force. She had one roommate for a couple of months who, one night, went to the NCO Club with us and sat at our table.

At the very beginning of the night she told us she wasn't leaving until she found some guy to have sex with that night.

She was successful and the next day when we saw her we asked her if she had fun and she had a big smile on her face and said "Yes."

The next day she started regretting it and went to the base law enforcement and said she had been raped. There were eight people at our table the night it happened and when we all gave our statements the whole mess was dropped. Less than a month later she was transferred to another base and one of the LE guys I knew told me the AF wasn't going to let her reenlist but would let her finish her four years.

You are right. Regret is not rape and back then political correctness was not around so justice was served.

Absolutely. I spit tacks when a woman/girl gets away with falsely accusing someone of rape.

Those that can be proven to falsely accuse need at the minimum to be sentenced to the time a convicted rapist is usually sentenced.

Her story is:

Horsefeathers.
Flapdoodle.
Pferdescheisse.

None of the examples you give are matters of consent.

Your last paragraph is completely different circumstances, as they are acts that aren’t even allowed consensually.

The story was about my wife's roommate, not my wife.

My apologies, the way you wrote it made it sound like your wife.

Completely false. Rapists confess and plead guilty every day.
