Scotland: Businessman suffers brain damage after assault over false rape claim

Story here. Excerpt:

'A PROMINENT businessman suffered devastating brain injuries in a vicious attack after he was wrongly suspected of raping one of his workers, a court heard yesterday.

John Chalmers, 47, has had to "learn everything again" and step down from a senior role in his family's bakery in Aberdeen – which holds the Royal Warrant – because of the assault.

He had become friends with a woman less than half his age, who's brother mistakenly believed Mr Chalmers had sexually assaulted her.

On Christmas Day, 2007, Steven Macleod, 28, struck Mr Chalmers a blow to the head with a length of wood and repeatedly punched him, causing a fractured skull and internal bleeding. Without prompt medical treatment, he might well have died.'

recommended sentence: hang the guy's ass. We need to end rape hysteria, even if it requires throwing the fear of God into people.

This story answers the age old question: Is a false rape accusation as bad as an actual rape? If you want an answer just ask the guy with brain damage who's probably working with a speech pathologist right now in order to mutter a few simple words. Tragic.

This maggot of an older brother who goes bonkers over the thought that his 21 year old drunken sister had sex of some kind reacted like a cheated on lover. There may be a history of incest between this creep and his sister.

Maybe that sick old woman of Europe called Britain will lead the way in making rape hysteria and false rape accusations a major felony.

We can only hope.

Also, this is a good warning to the Captain Save A Ho types who think it is their chivalrous duty to escort drunken females home or take responsibility for them in any way.

Is there any criminal culpability for the woman? She made a false allegation that caused the attack in the first place? If not Why? I'm serious, she should be charged with instigating violence. If I shout fire in a crowded movie theater and people stampede, crushing people to get out, do I get to walk free?
