'She's been kicked out of college and is facing possible criminal charges. The woman who wrongly accused five men of rape is hiding out
Hofstra students told CBS 2 HD on Thursday night the case makes them angry.
"Her false accusations hurt a lot of people. Yes, it hurt the gentlemen who spent time it jail. It hurt the university. It hurt the university's reputation and it hurt Nassau County financially," student Zach Parker said.
"I think full charges should be pressed against her because that's just not right," Robert Koulakjian said.'

Excerpt:
'San Diego Charger's stud linebacker Shawne Merriman was arrested on September 6 for allegedly choking his girlfriend Tila Tequila Nguyen at his home and holding her against her will. Both charges were felonies under California law as according to San Diego County Sheriff's Lieutenant Gary Steadman, Tequila signed an arrest warrant against Merriman. Merriman was released from jail that morning shortly after 11 a.m. According to authorities, Tequila Nguyen did not appear to be hurt, but because she signed a formal complaint the police had no choice but to take Merriman into custody. Merriman contended he was trying to assist an imbibed Tequila Nguyen, to prevent her from driving; while facilitating her desire to get home safely. Clearly, this was a high profile case of he said, she said.'

Excerpt:
'It began Friday night with phone calls to police about a woman running on a downtown Keene street in only a shirt and underwear, saying she had been raped.
After she changed her story, it ended Saturday afternoon in assault charges against her boyfriend and an investigation against the woman for a false report, police said.
At the hospital, Wheeler retracted the claim, and instead said that Michelewicz had pushed her to the ground during an argument, Maxfield said.
Michelewicz, who co-hosts the Cheshire TV libertarian-centric show Free Minds TV was arrested at the couple’s home at 8 Town St., on Saturday afternoon and charged with simple assault.
He was later released on $1,000 personal recognizance until his arraignment on Oct. 5, and ordered not to contact Wheeler or go within 100 yards of her, Maxfield said.'

Excerpt:
'According to reports, the crime of "bearing false witness" is rarely tracked or punished, and the context in which it is usually raised is highly politicized.
Now, a new pattern of making big bucks for these false accusers is emerging through back door deals ranging from personal appearances on shows like Oprah, book deals and cash donations from sympathetic and concerned citizens across the country.
Most recently, in fact, this month, a new case evolved where a young coed accused five men of gang raping her in a dorm bathroom. Four of the men were arrested and jailed while police searched for the fifth suspect. This all came about at Hofstra University in Mineola, NY. Hofstra was in the news earlier during the presidential race when the last debate was held there in 2008.
Just one example is the Duke lacrosse scandal where exotic stripper Crystal Mangum, accused three members of the Duke team of sexually assaulting her while she was dirty dancing at a frat party.

Excerpt:
'YAKIMA, Wash. -- An East Valley High School teacher has pleaded not guilty to sex charges involving a student; however, a charge of sexual misconduct has been mysteriously reduced from what prosecutors initially said they had filed.
Earlier this week, deputy prosecutor Sam Chen said he didn't know why the charges filed in Yakima County Superior Court were actually for second-degree sexual misconduct -- a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison.
In a phone message Monday, Chen blamed any perceived "double standard" on overblown media coverage.
"The difference is in the media, which seems to portray the sexual misconduct with female teachers as opposed to male teachers more," he said.
"It goes beyond sex cases. The criminal justice system, in my perception, is far more lenient to women accused of serious crimes than they are to men," Trejo said.

Video here. The DA goes on with the usual "this is a rare case of false accusation" and how we can't let this get in the way of going after accused rapists, etc., etc. She also mentions toward the end how the accused should also be treated fairly. Yeah, right.

Article here. Excerpt:
'“What is in the interest of the child?” is the question that must be asked in all situations in which legal decisions have to be made about the welfare of children.
But the answer is indeterminate and indeterminable.
While sounding noble, in practice this concept is nothing more than a blank screen upon which decision makers, mental health professionals, welfare workers, lawyers, religious leaders and politicians are invited to project their own beliefs and values.
A decision or belief in one context about what is in the best interests of a child would differ from person to person, place-to-place, culture to culture and generation to generation.
What was considered to be in the best interest of a child in Victorian times is very different from what is considered in the best interest of a child today.'

'The Council of Graduate Schools just released data on graduate schools... Women represented 58.9% of all graduate students in 2008, meaning that there were 143 women enrolled in graduate school for every 100 men. Further, women were overrepresented in 7 out the 10 fields of graduate study and underrepresented in three fields (business, engineering and physical sciences).
Q: Why does the under representation of women in engineering, math and science get so much more attention than the under representation of men in arts and humanities, biology, education, health sciences, public administration, and social sciences? After all, male graduate students are about as underrepresented in fields like health sciences (20.1% male, and 398 women per 100 men), education (24.8% male) and public administration (25.5% male) as women are underrepresented in engineering (22% female).'

OTTAWA — Carleton University suspended its women’s soccer team on Friday after a rookie initiation party ended with a player being taken to the hospital by ambulance following excessive drinking.
It is believed that a team party last Sunday saw one player so incoherent from alcohol that an ambulance took her to the hospital.
The team will not participate in weekend games against the University of Toronto and Ryerson University and Carleton’s athletic department will meet with individual players on Monday to decide if the suspension should be extended.
Jennifer Brenning, Carleton’s Director of Recreation and Athletics, refused to discuss specifics, but said the entire team seriously breached the code of conduct set out by the athletic department and the university.

'The man that a woman deems to be "too nice" does not, BY HER INDIVIDUAL STANDARDS, present himself as the image of masculine power, strength, confidence, charisma, energy, sexuality, decisiveness, or character.
Too nice also means:
You are a wimp in that woman's eyes... milquetoast, sensitive and soft like a woman.
you are confused about what to do and how to do it to protect yourself when you see a game being run.
you have low self esteem and don't demand respect from the women you date in an effort to please, which comes across as groveling.
you are always there for people that are never there for you. Too nice means your family knows you are an easy tap for rent money after they spent theirs gambling in Reno.
your boss has no problem calling you in do work and assignments on the weekend, even though s/he knows you have plans with your family.'

Excerpt:
'The National Organization for Women in New York State is calling on the judge trying State Senator Hiram Monserrate on domestic violence charges to give him “the maximum sentence allowable by law.”
But Mr. Monserrate has not yet gone on trial on charges that he slashed his companion’s face during an argument on Dec. 19 — that starts on Monday in State Supreme Court in Queens. And he certainly has not been convicted.
To the outrage of his lawyers, the women’s group is asking its supporters to reach out to the jurist who is hearing the case as judge and jury. Mr. Monserrate decided this week to have his guilt or innocence decided by a judge in a bench trial rather than by a 12-member jury of his peers.
Joseph Tacopina, Mr. Monserrate’s lead lawyer, who was alerted to the campaign by one of the senator’s constituents who had received the appeal, called it “inappropriate, improper and offensive” and said he would offer a legal objection when the case opens on Monday.

'For many months I have been crying out against the political hysteria that currently surrounds issues of child abuse, child sexuality, etc. The witch hunt has made men into presumed criminals if they manifest the most innocent of behavior -- e.g. kiss their own child in public, snap a photo in which a child happens to be present even if the child is their own, make or hold eye contact with children, sit on a bench near a public school or park... The following is one of the emails I receive from men who are presumed guilty by society by virtue of being male.'

Excerpt:
'TRENTON -- A local attorney has uncovered a glitch in the software the state uses to calculate child support awards, prompting an investigation into how widespread the problem is, officials have confirmed.
Robert Rottkamp Jr., who practices law in Ewing, discovered the problem when a state-support order issued against his client claimed the man owed $16 more each week than Rottkamp's own software indicated.
He advised a Superior Court judge of the discrepancy, and she took the matter up with the state Administrative Office of the Court. The ensuing investigation revealed an error in the software. The state is now looking into the ramifications of that problem.
"At this point, we don't know exactly what happened, how often it occurred or the number of people it affected," said Tami Kendig, a spokeswoman for the AOC.

'MORENO VALLEY, Calif. - A California pastor has been sentenced to life in prison for beating and drugging her five adopted daughters and locking them in a garage.
Jessica Banks, 65, received consecutive life terms Friday after being convicted in July of sexually abusing two of her daughters and forcing all the sisters to go without food for days.
Banks was arrested in 2005 after one emaciated girl was found lying outside a Moreno Valley business.
Prosecutors say the sisters, who were ages 4 to 11 at the time, lived in a hidden room in Banks' garage with no air conditioning or heating.
They attended school at the Word of Life Apostolic Church, where Banks was pastor.'

Here's a great example of how extremely violently women can freely behave in Israel without getting punished at all. You can watch and see it in this video.
A male soldier get into a bus, the driver asking him to step out only because there's no empty seat left in the bus but he refuses. A female soldier getting angry on him, assaulting him using both physical and verbal violence in order to throw him out of the bus. I can't even translate what she say because it's so extremely vulgar!
The Israeli media did show this story but covered her face in order to protect her, as they mostly do with female criminals.
