Hofstra Gang Rape Hoax

I hope they press charges on her. She could have ruined the lives of those involved, not to mention that the time that was spent investigating her case could have been used ot help real victims.

This.

this is really sad and judging by the comments, this will give many an excuse to say that most women lie about rape when in fact many women who have been raped don't report it at all.

Unfortunately I think this also encourages men to video sexual encounters without a woman's knowledge.

Then women may make it known that they were filmed without their knowledge. They should not say that the sex was nonconsensual because they are embarassed and have regrets (if that's what happened in this instance).

Since she has recanted her story and there is no evidence to the contrary, this all boils down to women and men being more selective and cautious when it comes to sex; and not just when it comes to birth control and wearing protection. Casual sex changes in meaning and consequences with changes in social norms and technology.

I don't think you understood what I meant. This gives some guys a "convenient" excuse to video women without their knowledge in the future, ("Oh, I video all my partners cuz I don't want to get a rape charge! <wink wink>. Want to see some of my best work?").

I don't approve of what this woman did, or other women who cry rape when it was consentual. Not only did this chick make women open to more speculation, but she also might have encouraged more men to video sex with ladies without consent, which is NOT OK.

I did, and was picking up where your point left off.
