Its interesting that you have been downvoted. Because everyone is saying that her claim that she was abused should be believed, which you agreed with. Then you go on to say that when they retract the allegation they shouldn’t be believed because they are liars.

Which makes sense because either the accusation or the retraction is a lie, so both should be looked into. If the accusation is a lie then she tried to ruin a man, if the retraction is the lie then he should be put up on charges.

Now I could be putting words in your mouth through a false sense of wanting to think the best of people, but what you say as a stand alone comment is logical. Or you’re being a douche and hating on women for a joke but I don’t want to believe that one.

Many narcissistic women end up dating multiple men who experience and remember being victimized and lied about in their own lives - which, unfortunately, colors their, and their families' collective reasoning. It doesn't matter if it's a minority of the cases when it's been seared into someone's reality.

Male victim here. I lived through it for seven years. When I simply tried leaving the first time she called the police and said I had hit her. I was covered with bruises and cuts, both fresh and old. She didn’t have a mark on her. Didn’t stop the cop from getting in my face like he was going to beat the shit out of me.

Three weeks later I escaped for the second time. I was playing league of legends with my friends and was just happy to be out. I made it home to NY to my mom and grandma. A cop who’s a family friend to my ex’s mom (he wants to fuck her and has wanted to for 20 years) showed up and told me that I was suicidal and needed to be taken to a hospital immediately. I had no clue what the fuck he was talking about but my ex and her drunk of a mother used to use their moms “cop friend” as a threat and now he was right in front of me. I informed him that I wasn’t suicidal and that the only person that would’ve called that in was my abuser. Also I informed him that my family could attest that I was okay. Didn’t matter. He threatened me with arrest and wouldn’t let me shut my door. I was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester NY. My trauma reaction to the situation is that I had been kidnapped.

I was given two options in life. Return to my abuser or have this police officer harassing my family and embarrassing us to our neighbors constantly.

If anyone wonders why women wait twenty years to report things… here ya go

Dude is damaged goods and the Giants kept their bag. Now the Mets have to still try to sign him because their owner was talking big shit about how he was the last piece they needed. Correa and Boras destroyed their own credibility and will have to renegotiate for less money. The Giants pulled a reverse Uno card and don’t have to throw $360 million at a dude who now has failed two physicals. Good riddance.

Yup. It’s part of why a lot of states will decide to charge these sorts of crimes unilaterally without regard to input from the victims. The amount of abused individuals willing to voluntarily cooperate with charging their abuser with a crime, and not ask that they be dropped, is frighteningly small.
