Comment: This case epitomizes our current false rape epidemic, and the treatment of false rape victims as flotsam, necessary collateral damage in the war on rape. Two boys were arrested on rape charges last November, based solely on the word of a teenage girl. The charges were finally dropped because the physical evidence -- the objectively verifiable physical evidence -- were not consistent with the original statements about the alleged rape from, presumably, the girl and her father.
Despite the obvious anguish this lie caused two boys, the district attorney announced, without furnishing a reason, that he is not bringing charges. If, indeed, the girl lied, then she committed a crime. Why are no charges being brought?
In addition, the newspaper refuses still to print the name of the girl because it says she is a "victim."
Come again?
There are two victims in this case -- the two boys. The girl is not a "victim," and, in fact, she should be charged with a crime, and her name should be splashed all over the news, just as the boys' names were.
It is cases like this that compel the need for this website.
HERE IS THE STORY:
Teenagers cleared of all charges in rape case
Two Greeley teenage boys have been cleared of all charges of rape and sexual assault stemming from an accusation against them five months ago.
The boys, Alex Diaz and Damen Cantrell, both 18, were arrested last November after a 16-year-old girl accused them of raping her. She told police the boys took her to one of their homes after she’d been drinking at a party. She claimed they raped her, and someone may have taken a video tape of the incident. No tape has been found.
The names of sexual assault victims are not released to the media.
Weld District Attorney Ken Buck said Friday “Physical evidence that came back in the case did not match the statements that were originally received. We dismissed the bonds in the cases and dismissed the case against both teens.”
Defense attorney Todd Taylor, representing Diaz, praised Buck and his office for dropping the charges.
“We’re very relieved and thankful that the right decision was made in this case,” Taylor said. “I have a lot of respect for Ken Buck for making this decision.”
Despite the dropping of charges, Buck also said they were not contemplating filing any false reporting or any other charges against the victim.
Neither Cantrell nor his attorney, Pamela Mackey of Denver, were available for comment Friday.
In the past few months, both teens had been out of jail on $50,000 bond.
In the initial police report, the girl said she had a fight with a boyfriend earlier in the evening, then ran into the two suspects, whom she’d previously known.
The boys took her to one of their homes, and they sneaked in through a basement window. She told police she was raped in a basement bedroom, and afterward they took her back to the party.
At the party, the girl said she told her boyfriend about the attack, and he took her home to her father, who reported the incident to police.

With the constant flow of money, funding rape hysteria, mixed in with the law enforcement/ gender feminist Alliance of misinformation, we seem to have created the perfect beast.
If the media never/ very rarely report on false rape accusations, does that mean that girls never lie about rape??
Is the "media lace curtain" really helping anyone???Or creating a monster??
I live in a very gender feminist dominated area, and i have seen the long term results of the gender feminist juggernaut of agitation propaganda, and it's mostly affecting the young men.
What these simpleton hysterics do not understand is, that when you attack the young men, you are invariably attacking the young women also, it just takes a few years, maybe a few decades, for the girls to start to feel that there is something wrong here.

scott says, As someone who has faced the wrath of a false rape accusation, and a juggernaut of hysterics foaming at the mouth to prosecute me, I'm deeply grateful for you're work.
Most men,boys that are falsely accused of rape, just don't want to ever talk about it, because it is like the worst nightmare that has ever happened to them, and they just want it to stop.
Thats why i believe it might just take someone like you're self to advocate for us, because alot of us simply cannot.
Did some googling, and lo and behold, I found that this story has an all-too-familiar-refrain:
"The girl told police she drank three shots of alcohol and had about two and a half beers. She said she had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend and responded to some text messages from Cantrell, with whom she’d previously been intimate. At one point, Cantrell came to pick her up and they were planning to talk about her situation with her boyfriend, police had testified.
The girl went to Cantrell’s house with him, Alex Diaz, 18, who also has been charged in the case, and a third teen. They gained entry into the house through a basement window. The girl said she was intoxicated and sat down on Cantrell’s bed when he started kissing her. She told police she was in and out of consciousness, each time waking up to a different state of undress, and Cantrell on top of her. At one point, she said Diaz also was involved while Cantrell was kissing her."
Let's examine the facts here:
(1) Alcohol was involved. Another case of a girl getting sloshed and not remembering the consent that she gave. Let us remember that consent does not have to be spoken to be given.
(2) She may have made the allegation to protect her relationship with her boyfriend.
(3) She admits to consuming alcohol underage. Why isn't she being charged with that? Oh wait, it may dissuade other false accusers...I got it.
(4) "Diaz" and "Damon" are names that sound latino and black, respectively. Perhaps a racial angle may be at play?
Lastly, it seems that spending the $$$ to hire a high-powered attorney is worth the bucks when you're up against the matriarchy and a spurious rape charge. Cantrell's attorney successfully defended Kobe Bryant.
This is a typical case isn't it. Another Crafty Harlot lures a couple of young men into some sort of sexualized situation with an ulterior agenda. The agenda was clearly to arouse her boyfriend into anger and sympathy towards her, the lives of the other innocent young men be damned. I'm going to recommend everyone here read the Proverb 7:6 in the Bible. It is titled: The Crafty Harlot.
It basically describes what modern women in our culture have been turned into, but it also urges other men to avoid them like the plague. It is too long to print here, but you can read the Proverbs online, I highly urge all you guys to have a look at it. I'm really thinking of doing an article on my own blog based upon this one.
I do believe that we need to form a very very nasty political movement which seeks to redress not only current false accusations, but also those that have occurred in past decades as well. We need to go back into the public and private records and prosecute very vigorously all false accusations, even those that occured 50 years ago. I have always believed that once a man or woman has become a false accuser, you can never really rehabilitate them or reintegrate them back into civil society. They have crossed that line of civility and gone forever over to the other side, never again to return to decency, respectibility, or good conscience.

" Lastly, it seems that spending the $$$ to hire a high-powered attorney is worth the bucks when you're up against the matriarchy and a spurious rape charge. Cantrell's attorney successfully defended Kobe Bryant. "
Unfortunately some men and boys are not able to afford a private attorney and are forced to have a public defender or court appointed attorney who , in my experience, hammer at the accused and coerce them into accepting a plea bargain. Here in Tennessee when you are accused of committing a crime against a female, you are presumed guilty until you can prove yourself innocent or, as a jury states, not guilty. How can any man stuck in jail prove their innocence ?
"If the media never/ very rarely report on false rape accusations, does that mean that girls never lie about rape??"
It's the same way with guns. The media reports cases where a law abiding citizen with a concealed carry permit stops a crime in the same light. "If we don't report it, it rarely happens." This is where blogs pick up the slack and aggregate the stories, because they happen every single DAY in the United States. But there's still too much "men are rapists" and "guns are bad" hysteria.
correct
Not meaning to be off topic but, has everyone heard about this case?
Police busy looking for men while female perp walked away
From Jeremy S.: Remember all this: Girl Missing, Homes of 2 Men Searched? They even towed the cars of the two suspect men and wasted valuable time and resources looking for a male suspect. Maybe even two. This is what they got: Calif. Sunday school teacher booked in child death. Excerpt:
'TRACY, Calif. -A California Sunday school teacher was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and killing an 8-year-old girl whose body was stuffed into a suitcase found in an irrigation pond.
Melissa Huckaby, 28, was arrested at 11:55 p.m., about five hours after she drove herself to the station at the request of police, according to Tracy Police Sgt. Tony Sheneman.
"She gave enough information to us during the course of the interview that probable cause was there to arrest her," said Sheneman.
A massive search for the child, Sandra Cantu, included hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officials. The search ended April 6 when farmworkers who were draining the irrigation pond to water fields found a suitcase.
Pictures of the girl with dark brown eyes and light brown hair were posted all over Tracy, a city of 78,000 about 60 miles east of San Francisco.
The slain girl's aunt, Angie Chavez, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press early Saturday that she was happy to learn of the arrest.'

Proof of gender bias in law enforcement?
”Despite the dropping of charges, Buck also said they were not contemplating filing any false reporting or any other charges against the victim.
Neither Cantrell nor his attorney, Pamela Mackey of Denver, were available for comment Friday.”
[To the tune of Disney’s “It’s a Small World”:]
Ah, Ken Buck and Pamela Mackey.
Many years ago, my wife worked with Ken Buck at the US Attorney’s Office in Denver. They do NOT like one another. So, when I saw this article last night, I just had to bring it to her attention.
She, expectedly, lashed out at Buck as a man unable to see that a real crime had been committed.
Now, she prosecutes in a neighboring county, and two years ago the elected DA for whom she works did not allow her to pursue false rape charges against a woman on a case she had worked.
So, I asked her why it was okay for her boss (whom she thinks very highly of) to do the same thing that Buck (who she does not) has now done.
She tells me that her boss had initially wanted to allow her to file against the woman, but was dissuaded from doing so by appeals from the woman’s family along with their agreement to an out-of-court civil settlement with the man accused. (Okay, I can buy that, I suppose).
Now, back when the Kobe Bryant affair (in both senses) happened, I was just another of the clueless minions blissfully ignorant of both the frequency of false rape claims and the serious damages/costs that they bring. I can remember how Pamela Mackey came to be reviled amongst the Denver-area prosecutorial bar.
Admittedly, knowing many of them, I too assumed the worse of Mackey’s tactics. At one point I queried my wife as to what she hoped to achieve by outing and shaming the “victim”. I had thought it to be merely an underhanded trick aimed at “threatening” the complainant.
My wife’s interpretation of her “strategy” was actually quite telling. She believed that what Mackey was doing was to, in her words, pre-poison the jury pool. What she believed to have happened was that Bryant’s defense team had learned that the supposed victim had, shall we say, a reputation around town. She believed that Mackey’s intention was to get her name out so that the locals who knew her would help to spread word of her less than lady-like reputation to any and all who might have ended up as a part of the jury pool.
She felt it was nothing more than a back-door approach to getting around the “rape shield” law, well in advance of a jury even being seated. As a prosecutor, she hated what Mackey did, but did concede that it seemed like it would be a rather effective tactic. I guess that’s why some defense attorney command such high fees.
