Kavanaugh accuser admits to making up rape accusation as ‘tactic’

quote [ One of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s accusers admitted this week that she made up her lurid tale of a backseat car rape, saying it “was a tactic” to try to derail the judge’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Mr. Grassley’s investigators tried to reach her for a month but were unsuccessful until this week, when they spoke to her by phone and she confessed that she was not the original Jane Doe, and “did that as a way to grab attention.”

She admitted to the false allegation, and said she has actually never met Justice Kavanaugh.

“I was angry, and I sent it out,” she told investigators. ]

The presumption of innocence is the only thing holding back the weaponization of the justice system. If it is weakened, this will always be the result.

I’m sorry, I thought my initial post was unambiguous. I was not commenting on the Jane Doe claim. I was objecting to the assertion that this is “evidence that false accusations rarely get anywhere without being discovered." This story proves nothing of the sort. It in no way tells us about the false accusations that are not discovered, only one that was. To turn that into a universal maxim, that “false accusations rarely get anywhere” is absurd. All this story proves is that women will lie about being raped to ruin men they don’t like.
