Rape Liar Victim Suing New York City For $30 Million

Story here. Excerpt:

'The innocent man who was wrongly imprisoned for nearly four years because of false rape charges is now suing the city for his ordeal. William McCaffery is seeking $20 million in compensatory damages, as well as another $10 million for what he calls "conduct...so outrageous as to exceed the bounds of all common and civilized decency."

McCaffrey was sentenced in 2006 after Biurny Peguero Gonzalez testified that he and two other men raped her at knife point in a van parked in Upper Manhattan in September 2005. She later recanted that statement, and admitted she made the whole thing up in order to cover for a fight with some of her female friends. McCaffrey says in his suit that cops knew he didn't inflict bite wounds on Peguero, which was used as evidence against him at trial: "Aware that this fact would provide an alternate explanation for the cause of Ms. Peguero's injuries, defendants...told the young women that the true nature of their fight was insignificant and instructed them not to mention it," says the suit, which names specific police and prosecutors.'
