U of Washington Anonymous Accusation Site

[Ben]

So some group at University of Washington has started a website where anyone can make an anonymous accusation of sexual assault against anyone. The list has apparently grown exponentially since the Kavanaugh hearings.

This is the ugliness that comes of "all men are guilty". This will not end well, and once again, one of the groups that will be hit hardest will be women who have actually been sexually assaulted and who won't be believed because of all this "cry wolf", political, and anonymous revenge accusation stuff.

Note that it is not affiliated with UW, but apparently some students or someone else there. It would be interesting if someone went to the website and started submitting the names of staff and faculty at UW. I wonder how long after that the site would stay up?

What happens if you just want to keep the person accused anonymous?

Has it become fashionable among some groups of women to claim to have been sexually assaulted?

My guess is that what has become fashionable is greatly broadening what falls under "sexual assault" and "inappropriate sexual conduct" to include the ridiculous. Which again, only further hurts actual sexual assault victims. Remember that saying "lingerie floor please" when entering an elevator is considered sexual misconduct these days.

I will check out this site when I get home. I hope I don't find my name from the late 70s and early 80s.

There are several pages devoted to you...

Where is the fun in that?

Then you have documented proof of Sexual Assault.  Better credentials for future activism.

Yes.  Victimhood is "power."

You can always accuse yourself.

[Ben]

Not U of W but more of the same. High School girls accuse boy of sexual assault just because they don't like him. After being questioned, they admit they lied. No punishment.

Imagine the outrage if a group of male students put up a page outing women who they accuse of claiming false rape.

Does 4chan know about this yet?

[Pb]

I hope no uses the site to post anonymous accusations against every single person who helped create the site.  That is the exactly the kind of evil thing 4chan would do.

I knew several women personally who were victims of stranger rape.  In one case the perp went to prison.  The other was never caught.

I also personally knew a man who was falsely accused of rape at college.  The "case" went all the way to trial before the girl admitted to lying about it. 

I think there are a lot of rapes.  I also think there are a lot of false accusations.  The two are not exclusive.

[MillCreek]

^^^If I recall the literature correctly, the incidence of false rape reports by women against men is estimated to be between 2 and 10 percent.

I'm going to guess that false rape reports are rarer than false "sexual assault" or "sexual misconduct" reports. I don't know if there is any reliable data on those, but I bet they are a good deal higher.

[Scout26]

I'm surprised that 4chan hasn't stuffed that site tons of allegations against Bill and Hillary, Chuck U Schumer, Dick Durbin, etc., et al to point of crashing their system....

Michelle Malkin has a video on false rape accusation stats.  The oft cited 2 percent apparently comes from a judge in the mid 1970s with no data to support it.  The video refers to a NYPD Sergeant from the SVU who claims the percentage of false reports in the double digits, up to 40 percent.

I just saw an infographic the other day, though I can't vouch for its validity... that shows that there are nearly as many men convicted for false rape as there are for rape-rape.

Another tangent, but relevant:

This happened at my Alma Mater. When the"hearing" was going on, I recall the local rag almost gleefully reporting on the accused being shot down over and over again regarding his attempts to defend himself. He was a male, so he must be a liar.

An appellate court unanimously reversed his punishment (though I don't know how much it well help him now that the damage has been done). Their decision is a long read, but worth it, just to see how this Title IX stuff destroys due process.

A couple of interesting parts:

Accuser claims she was raped while her best friend and another witness (both who saw none of what she claims) were literally sitting three feet away.

The medication the accuser was on (which she mixed with alcohol). The "hearing" committee allowed testimony from a cop who had zero medical experience, but wouldn't allow the accused or his mother to submit information from the drug maker on the affects of the drug because they weren't experts. At the same time, they had jacked around hearing dates to make it impossible for the accused to bring in a medical expert.

That's just a couple of highlights. As  I said, it's an interesting read into these university Title IX tribunals.

I've got a stupid question.

Why are colleges and universities handling rape cases ??  Do they are handle murder cases ??  Shouldn't the local PD and Prosecutor be handling and do the prosecuting ??  I think that rape is a bit more serious then "Violating the Student Conduct Code".

The answer is that it was decided that too many rapists were slipping through the cracks.  Police require actual proof before they punish the guilty men.  By the schools setting up their own Kangaroo Courts and handing out "administrative Actions" they can catch those rapists that slip through the "There's no evidence a rape even occurred" loophole. 

I remember it being celebrated as a way to catch and punish the people the police wouldn't when it was enacted.

At the very least, the court decision may help him sue the school and/or accuser for damages and then some.

Given the cost of many universities and that they usually invalidate their class credits, the financial loss and impact on future employment is huge, not to mention legal costs dealing with all of it.

"Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

This has been "interpreted" to mean if the schools don't run kangaroo courts against men accused of wrongdoing, they are discriminating against women.
