'HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) - Authorities who accuse a Herndon woman of fabricating a report that she was raped at a Dauphin County shopping center said valuable police time was wasted on the investigation.
Twenty-nine-year-old Amber Adams has admitted to investigators that she was not forced into a car and raped in the parking lot of the Paxton Square Shopping Center on Jan. 29, according to Lower Paxton Township police.
"We had people that just scoured video trying to find the perpetrator's vehicle, hours and hours and hours and hours were spent, not only by us, but by civilians out at the shopping center," Lt. Gary Seefeldt said.'

'Julian Assange’s U.K. lawyers, seeking to block the WikiLeaks founder’s extradition to Sweden on rape claims, may have chosen the wrong tactic by criticizing Swedish justice and labeling the prosecutor behind the case as a “radical feminist,” lawyers say.
Witnesses at hearings last week in London said Swedish rape trials are secretive and portrayed prosecutor Marianne Ny as a “crusader” on gender issues who had a hand in shaping Sweden’s “harsh” rape laws. The tactic may be a sign of desperation and is unlikely to stop Assange’s extradition, said Neill Blundell, a lawyer with Eversheds LLP in London.
...
“Extreme feminism has taken over more and more” in Swedish society, said Peter Haglund, a defense lawyer who has represented more than 150 accused rapists since 1985. “Men are seen as fundamentally evil.”'

'A Twilight fan has admitted lying to police about an assault to hide the vampire-inspired role-playing behind bite marks on her body.
The 15-year-old US teen at first claimed that bruises and bites on her body were caused by someone who attacked her while she was jogging, the Smoking Gun reports.
Her imaginary assailant jumped out of the bushes, knocked her to the ground and tried to remove her shirt.
But the girl, from Marathon in Florida, supposedly was able to fight off the attacker.
When officers determined the jogging attack as described by the teen could not have caused the marks left on her neck and arms, she admitted the story was a fake.'

'Instead of embracing love this February 14th, feminists have called on us to embrace Vagina Day.
Why have some feminists hijacked Valentine’s Day with disconcerting words like “vagina” and "c***"?
...
Firstly, many of the monologues are not real:
“Some of the monologues are close to verbatim interviews, some are composite interviews, and with some I just began with the deed of an interview and had a good time” (Ensler 7).
In "The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could," a 16-year-old girl is seduced by a 24-year old woman with vodka and is later raped. The original text states that the victim was a 13-year-old girl who venerated rape: “If it was rape, it was a good rape.”
Moreover, men are portrayed as sex-driven beasts. In “Because He Like to Look at Vaginas,” a guy named Bob is portrayed as one who fixates on vaginas:
“Turned out the Bob loved vaginas. He was a connoisseur” (Ensler 55).

'Sentencing for an Okaloosa sex offender has sparked a lot of discussion. 31-year old Michelle Kemp had sex with a 15-year-old boy but she will not be going to prison. The lawyers on both sides of the case insist, when it comes to sex crimes, the judicial system is not sexist.
Michelle Kemp was arrested back in August 2009 for having sex with a 15-year-old. The boy's family decided not to press charges if the relationship stopped-- but it didn’t. In December, Kemp drove more than 100 miles from her home in Crestview to pick the boy up at a drug treatment center in Bay County, where the two had sex again.
...
It was a very different case for Tim McGarry. The former Thomas Drive Fire Chief is serving a 40-year sentence for having sex with underage girls. The disparity in treatment makes some wonder if the judicial system is sexist when it comes to sex crimes.
District 1 Chief Assistant State Attorney Bill Bishop says no.

The man was testifying in the trial of Deborah Louise Ashton, 45, who is charged with having numerous sexual encounters with the boy over a two-year period beginning in 2002.
The friend told the B.C. Supreme Court jury that he was on a school trip, staying in cabins outside of Vernon, when he saw Ashton in bed under the covers with the boy.
"They went to bed together. When I woke up, they were side-by-side," the man told the court.'

'Deutsche Bank's Josef Ackermann's deliciously impertinent comments that having women on company boards would make them more feminine, more "colourful and more beautiful" has caught the world on the hop and both sexes gasping at his gall.
In Germany, Silvana Koch-Mehrin of the FDU-EU told Handelsblatt: "If Mr Ackermann wants more colour in the executive committee he should hang some paintings on the wall."
Speaking from Oslo, Benja Stig Fagerland, the businesswoman who helped the Norwegian government to get half of its board positions filled by women, said she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She decided to laugh, adding: "Although there are a lot of men using this pretty argument to hide their fear that there are some bright women coming into business who are challenging their competencies."

It was meant to put women on a par with men.
Women golfers have long faced restrictions at their local courses on what times they could play and which bars they could drink in. Often they were blocked from becoming club captain.
So when Harriet Harman introduced the Equality Act to give women more rights in work places and social settings, golf clubs were seen as ripe for reform. But the drive by Labour’s leading feminist seems to have landed in the bunker. Many women golfers say that, following the changes, which have brought an end to men-only tee-off times at many clubs, they now have to pay more for membership.

Former NFL defensive end Chidi Ahanotu was forced by a judge this week to surrender his 2002 NFC championship ring to help pay a $130,000 debt to his ex-wife's lawyers, The Tampa Tribune reported.
Ahanotu, who played for the St. Louis Rams the year the team was upset by the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, will have to give up his ring or risk being jailed. He has been resistant to part with the memento, claiming it's only worth $500, not the $10,000 his ex-wife's lawyers believe they can get for it.
But that's not all. Mainstream media writers can't resist putting together an article about divorce or child support without adding in a little misandry at the end:

Hip Hop News 24-7 recently interviewed rapper J-Kwon about his interesting child support situation. During an interview with Miss Georgia, J-Kwon informed listeners that he'd been paying $2,500 per month in child support for seven years for a child that was eventually determined not to be his.
The artist goes on to say that he was jailed for not making the child support payments, which derailed his entire career by killing his ability to earn income.
He also said that when it was determined that he wasn't the child's father, the courts provided no remedies whatsoever for him to retrieve the tens of thousands of dollars he'd paid over a seven-year period.

'It is not often charges will be dropped midtrial — and even less often that a jury will applaud and offer to write letters to try to help the accused retrieve their job.
But that is what happened in a felony domestic violence case in San Francisco Superior Court this week when prosecutors gave up on the case after the alleged victim kept switching her story on the stand, the Public Defender’s Office announced Thursday.
The San Francisco man, 24-year-old kitchen manager Francisco Garcia, was accused by his former girlfriend of smashing her head into a wall multiple times and threatening to kill her and their toddler.
But Garcia said the woman only made the allegations after he told her he would go to court for a custody arrangement for their child. She took the news poorly and told him things were going to “get really bad for him,” Deputy Public Defender Eric Quandt said in a news release.'
