'LONG BEACH, Calif. – The kidnap-rape conviction of a once-promising prep football star was dismissed Thursday following a recantation by his accuser.

Brian Banks collapsed in sobs on the counsel table during a court hearing where a prosecutor quickly conceded the decade-old case and moved for the dismissal.

In the summer of 2002, Banks' future looked bright: He was a 17-year-old high school football star being heavily recruited by a number of colleges. But in a single day that changed with the accusations of kidnapping and rape by a female student.

He maintained there was no rape and their sexual contact was consensual, but his lawyer urged him to plead no contest rather than risk a sentence of 41 years to life in prison if convicted. He followed the advice and went to prison for six years, shattering his dreams of gridiron glory.'

The liberal mainstream political correct media will not run this story,and that's one of the reasons why these sort of injustices continue to happen.False allegations made against males by females are at epidemic levels,and yet very rarely do these stories surface.The general public should be outraged,but few ever hear of these stories because of the bias PC media.And what does this tell us about the courts ?? they're obviously bias against males also.And rarely the females who give these false allegations will receive any kind of punishment,and this has to end. Bias feminist PC and propaganda is everywhere and the injustices done to males as a direct result is a monumental disgrace.

How easily a woman can destroy a man's life.

She and her family got $1.5 million from the school and don't want to have to pay it back.

His life is ruined and she gets a pile of money. I wonder what motivated her to file false rape charges? It couldn't have been the money, could it?
