In this context, he might share this story here as we are discussing the topic of false accusations. Maybe I should make an anonymous poll.
Fair point. However, if these casual "cry rape" type incidents are in fact commonplace, I would still expect a close friend or family member to have told me about it. I would also expect to have come across the odd reported decision where someone was convicted of mischief (at least) for this type of behaviour.
