Did no-one else notice the spate of releases of convicted rapists in the USA (and elsewhere) when DNA testing became avaibable? Type “rapist cleared by DNA results” into Google and you’ll come up with tens of cases mainly concerning American blacks (waits to be flamed for racism for making this observation). The intriguing thing is that the evidence often also points to the real culprits and shows that there are a small number of serial rapists rather than lots of rapists in society. And some inexplicable cases.
In X% of US cases where rape charges are brought the primary suspect (often as identified by the victim) is cleared by DNA Testing (you Google for X). Some were raped but failed to correctly identify their assailant. Some though were simply false claims. Of the 100 – X% of cases where the DNA did match is it so unreasonable to think that some are also false claims where the real victim is the guy charged because the lady can’t face admitting that she had socially unacceptable sex with a socially unacceptable partner for socially unacceptable reasons. It’s not as black and white as the feminist groups that claim only 2% false claims would have us believe.
This report makes fascinating reading. Whilst in some cases the police simply got the wrong man in others it’s clear to me that the police and victim conspired to produce damning evidence to convict an innocent for reasons only known to the police and the “victim”.
Oh, and I still think that women should be able to wear what they like without it being a justification for unacceptable male behaviour.
