High School Girls Admitted to Making False Sexual Assault Accusations Against a Male Student Because They ‘Just Don’t Like Him’

'Seneca Valley School District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is facing a lawsuit from a former male student who was forced out of school—and investigated for sexual assault—due to a series of false accusations made by female students.

The girls—dubbed "mean girls" in the lawsuit, a reference to the 2004 Lindsay Lohan film—admitted on tape that they made up the assault story. One said, "I just don't like him" and "[I] would do anything to get him expelled," according to The Toronto Sun.

The false allegations were life-derailing for the accused, who is referred to as "T.F." in the lawsuit. On October 3, 2017, one of the girls told other students that T.F. had sexually assaulted her at a pool; a Seneca Valley guidance counselor overheard the accusation, and reported it to Childline, the state's child abuse prevention agency, as required by law. T.F. was swiftly charged with indecent assault and harassment, and received six months of probation as part of a plea deal.
...
By the end of the summer, the conspiracy against T.F. was unmasked: other students came forward with Snapchat messages that contradicted the claims of the "mean girls," who eventually admitted to lying. All charges against T.F. were dropped.

But T.F.'s family is understandably distraught that the girls have suffered no consequences: neither the police nor the school district have taken any action against them, according to the lawsuit. And so the family is pursuing legal action against the girls' parents, the school district, and the district attorney.'

when I listened to the nat'l geo program describing the terrors one woman on trial endured in this country for being accused of being a witch, I couldn't grasp how something like this could happen. 12 women took the stand and testified, sometimes in graphic and hideous detail, how the accused had vexed their minds and bodies. she was immediately found guilty, taken outside and hanged, probably by men. and it was not a rare occasion either. n.g. reported there were about 50,000 women either hanger, burned alive, drowned, etc. as this travesty unfolded. all it took was a false accusation and you were doomed to a horrible death. how could people be so cruel? how could women be so vindictive, or whatever, to make them falsely claim something they knew would cause an innocent person such pain and agony? keep in mind, in the early days of his country women were a scarce commodity, as one might expect. frontiers don't have many malls.

I remember in the 70's (?) there were a couple of similar witch hunts against some child care center ee's. the children told fantastical tales of how they were abused. these tales were beyond silly, and yet they were taken as gospel. I believe it happened in g.b. and the u.s., both w/ similar outcomes. the accused were found guilty and sentenced to very long prison terms. one 'fox' pundit reminded me of it the other day. makes one wonder what is wrong w/ the masses who firmly grasp at such ludicrously.
