Why some girls lie about rape is an important question. Rape is a serious offense, one that should never be made up.
The sad reality is that allegations of rape that are false do occur, though there is always a reason for false allegations. No reason is good enough for faking such a serious claim.
Last week at Isleworth Crown Court, 37 year old Kato Harris was cleared of raping a teenage girl at an 18,000 a year all private school in London.
Harris protested his innocence throughout, and told the court that it would have been completely impossible for him to carry out the attacks because of an anti anxiety drug which caused a loss of libido.
The former head of geography was accused of raping the girl three separate times in a classroom. The first alarming thing about such a claim is why the girl didn’t complain if rape after the first attack.
It defies common sense that th is would have occurred 3 times, without a formal complaint made to the police, or at least the authorities.
However, in cases like this there is usually a motive.
One can speculate that some sort of relationship between the pair might have been going on, but one that did not become full sex.
Or it may have included consensual underage sex, after a while, something causing her to want to punish her teacher with a.full blown accusation of rape.
It is very unlikely under normal circumstances, for a girl to totally fabricate such allegation out of this air, unless something untoward was taking place.
Strange things do happen in life, enough to make anything a possibility, when a strong agenda exists. Girls are known to have accused people of rape because of a private need for overwhelming sympathy from someone close to her. It could be apartner or family member.
Such sympathy would usually mean the girl or woman targeting her accuser for a reason known to her. She may feel he deserves that such of punished, for being flirtatious, suggestive, or just a damn right perv.
Other times, it.could simply be.a vindictive girls way of.punishing a man she feels.has betrayed her trust or who has treated her very badly. Honesty is always best, and lying about rape is an evil thing to.do.
They worst thing is that many rapes still go unreported, because of some of the stigma attached to it. This is.still no reason for any girl to lie about rape for any reason.
