There is a suggestion, also on twitter, that this is made up, although similar things do happen. |

from Twitter... My cousin Michael was a Harvard law grad. About 10 years ago, he was falsely accused of rape. He was disbarred due to the allegations. He was never arrested. He was never charged with a crime. He was never convicted of a crime. For the past ten years, he has fought his way through the legal system and won at every turn, incurring tremendous amounts of legal bills along the way. This past summer, he won a civil case against the woman who falsely accused him. She was ordered to pay him ~6 million dollars, but she had no money, and he knew he would never see a cent of what the court determined he was owed. Even after this, the NY bar refused to reinstate him. He was not allowed to go back to work. Earlier this month, after ten years of fighting, winning, and still not being able to get back on his feet, he took his own life. I just found out. People who make false allegations, especially of a sexual nature, should have no place in society and should face consequences for the damages they cause. It’s not funny. It’s not cute. It’s not a story to laugh about with your friends. It’s not something to brag about on social media. It’s not a way to gain a following on social media or launch a podcast or write a book. It shouldn’t be a way to make a quick buck. It’s not acceptable. It’s a crime, and for the falsely accused, a crime that can have deadly consequences. There is no justice here. Rest in peace, Michael. |
