Thats some caloused sh*t. I wouldnt mind seeing them spend some time behind bars for making false statements. That would set a precident about making false accusations about a crime of that gravity. Don't 1/4 women become a victim of some form of sexual assault in their lives? I just cant fathom why you would ever accuse someone of that.

Another case of this happening in Calgary not too long ago...though there never was a suspect identified.

http://www.gov.calgary.ab.ca/citybea...091450_10468_0

It was alleged that on Wednesday, April 29, 2009, at
approximately 9:40 a.m., a 14-year-old female was sexually
assaulted after being dropped off at a school in the 500
block of 32 Avenue N.E.

After conducting a thorough investigation, police have
confirmed this incident was fabricated.

No charges will be laid at this time, as authorities are
focusing on providing the youth with resources and support to
identify and deal with why these allegations were made.

Sexual assaults are generally under reported and it can be very difficult to get true victims to report such incidences. I would suggest public mischief charges are rarely laid for that reason- victims, even real ones, always wonder if they will be believed.

That goes both ways though. Imagine if you're a guy being accused of raping someone you never even touched. These stories have a way of hitting the local newspapers, regardless of guilt or innocence. Imagine your face on the 2nd page of the Calgary Sun, with the caption, "Man Accused of Raping Teenage Girls." It wouldn't matter if you did it or not. You're already done.

Even if it isn't made public, it would certainly be pretty public within the guy's own family/career/friends etc. Like the cabby said, if he didn't have that video, he would have lost his job, his marriage... everything.

False accusations like this need to be made into an example. In this day and age, there's absolutely no excuse for a woman to not come forward if she has been legitimately assaulted. Sexual assault has been the issue du jour for years now. "They won't believe me" is no longer an acceptable reason to not come forward. There is no excuse for not making sure that these girls (and other like-minded girls watching) understand that ruining someone's life isn't a game.

Being a woman should not be the lottery ticket some girls think it is imo.

True, and care and concern should be taken, but don't you think incidents like this also make it harder for women that it really happens to? If people didn't make up things, you wouldn't have a public that was always so skeptical. Therefore if you can limit the false accusations, it may help women who DO need to tell their story/find justice.

As a few have said already, these women aren't just hurting the accused with their story/mischief, they are hurting other women.

Sue the biatches. Good on that dude.

I am also confused of why they weren't charged.

[dubc80]

Good on the cabbie for standing up for himself and going public with this.

Cabbies have a tough job. It's probably one of the most under-appreciated professions. Hope he gets some $$$ out of this. I hate hearing about honest hard-working people getting screwed.

How does everyone feel about public humiliation as a deterrent? It may be effective for crimes like this.Slap these girl's faces and names onto a billboard and tell the world what they did. Shame, shame, shame.

A taxi driver falsely accused of rape could receive a five-figure compensation payout after winning a landmark victory.

Clive Bishop, 49, says his life was ruined after a drunken 17-year-old passenger claimed he attacked her.

Kirsty Palmer later admitted she made up the allegations and was jailed for ten months for perverting the course of justice.

4 Girls == *hores.

Its regretful that the parents of those women decided to mix sperm and egg.

I hope they have fun working the mean streets of Jasper Ave and Stony Plain Road the rest of their live until the OD in a gutter at the Enoch Casino.

Good Riddens to bad rubbish.

I think this speaks to North America's general treatment of women. Womens' image is very protected in our culture. They typically get away with more and the law favors them heavily...................because well they're just "innocent girls" after all....

Look at divorce laws as an example, and countless women who even commit murder and get minimal sentences or none at all.....

I rarely support lawsuits but they deserve it.

When I was a manager at one of my jobs I had a very underperforming female worker who I took into my office in order to talk to her in private about her performance, rather than in front of her co-workers. Needless to say she didn't like getting in trouble, so she decided to go to the store owners and tell them I had told her things like she would only keep her job if she performed sexual acts on me, among other things. Anyway I was "under investigation" supposedly, and they threatened all sorts of crap action against me. I was at the end of my rope with that job anyway, so I just told them don't bother, I was done, but it could have been a nasty scene, all because some little biotch decided to call sexual assault when it was unfounded.


Plus she was ugly, so I wouldn't have sexually assaulted her anyway

You should have said the bolded part to her out in front of everyone. Atleast you could have sent her home crying.........

No. It's more often the case of younger girls who think the world owes them something. Teenage guys do it as well. They're still growing up and don't know the full meaning of responsibility yet.

Show me a group of four 35-year-old women who go out to the bars, get drunk, and call rape fasely on a cabbie.

And if anyone posts any pics of those Sex and the City chicks or Desperate Housewives, THOSE DON'T COUNT!

Incidents like this lead me to think that there is a very elegant and easy fix to the Justice Department regarding this issue.

If the accuser can be anonymous when it comes to accusations of rape, then it should also be that the accused is also anonymous, until a decision has been reached in court.

This would help stop the damage this kind of incident could cause, would help reduce the power that accusers have in situations such as Crispy Critter's case, and would likely have prevented the whole fiasco involving Kobe Bryant - look how well that ended up with accusations leaving BOTH sides damaged.

It should be an easy solution.

Oh for sure. It's an epidemic.

[ikaris]

From the article:

"The constable collected the $13 fare from the girls to pass on to Yasa. He took the money but gave it back the next day, because he wanted police to pursue charges against the girls. That didn't happen, so he filed the lawsuit."

What would be interesting to find out is why exactly that didn't happen. I would suggest that the police thought it was unimportant what the cab driver had said and simply disregarded it. Imagine if it was the other way around... the video was the only thing that saved that cab driver.

And people wonder why the police are not to be trusted...
