Wow. Spoken like an ex-con there Barni. In the parlance of todays youth - You mad bro?
Why are you the police?
No not mad just telling the truth. I have been bullied and harassed by police several times. I have never been arrested but I have lived in several different types of areas in this country, inner city, urban, suburban, rural, etc. etc. and have known good and bad police. The bad out number the good partially because even the ones who take the job with some honorable intentions are often manipulated and exploited by having their paycheck used as a way to manipulate them into acting against populations. The police on the mainland, I don't know about Puna, now have full on military gear. I don't know why they would need all that. I tend to think the smaller the police force the more efficient they will be. Police don't learn how to mediate or negotiate resolutions anymore.
Anyway, I don't want to get off topic
So yeah… lying about rape is bad.
Actual rape is much worse.
I see two possibilities here. She either lied (yay she didn't get raped, right?) Or she is covering up for the rapist because she is scared of the rapist or cares for the rapist in some way, which is more likely the case here. Because I don't know allot of women who would lie about being raped there is a huge stigma that comes along with that and women do know about this stigma, trust me. On the other hand it is very common for women to cover up for their rapist because it is a family member or a person with perceived power over them via aggression, threats of more rape, etc. Rape is a messy thing and when someone comes out with a claim like that whether rape occurred or not that person should be treated very seriously and the claim should be investigated even if they take it back.
