A woman falsely accused of date-raping a wealthy businessman has told for the first time how the ordeal ruined her life.
Tanya Hutchison, a 42-year-old mother of five, was cleared of sexual assault but said the nightmarish police investigation had left her permanently scarred.
“My life is in ruins, all because of a claim that was totally ridiculous and should never have been taken seriously,” she said.
Can’t wait to see Pandagon’s take on the subject. He ought to be in jail, where “what are you in for?” might expose him to valuable life lessons. Of course, according to Dr. Ric, at least he wouldn’t be a weenie, right?
And the fellow’s name? Why don’t we see that in the story?
Hmmm… Having never been a guy, someone enlighten me please. Is it safe to assume that guys are treated this way fairly regularly (presumed guilty when an accusation of rape is made, etc.)? But of course, it’s only “news” when it happens to a woman. Harumph.
Honestly, panther girl, I can’t fathom the mentality of a man accusing a woman of rape as a means of saving face. It is, frankly, beyond me. But, of course, this is the kind of bizarre and ridiculous situation that arises from rampant PCness. Let’s just say that I feel that this is more interesting news than it would be the other way around.
As for why we don’t see it, B Moe, accusers must not be discouraged from coming forward.
The real question is why the cops didn’t laugh the guy out of the station.
Probably because of the women they don’t laugh out of the station.
I certainly agree with you, Dan. I guess reading through the litany of comments she made in the article I couldn’t help imagining that countless men are subjected to similar treatment as a matter of course. Three men from Duke come to mind… Another one of those aha moments for this gal who’s never been looked at as a potential sexual predator by virtue of my sex.
Dude’s indeed a bitch, but swiftly passing police interest isn’t an “ordeal” unless the words “plunger” and “anus” are involved, and she does have an acute case of the rape-eye. Countless men have gone down for decades just for looking unfuckable.
Sympathy meter reading: below zero.
“Punishing a false accuser could have a chilling effect on other accusers coming forward.” –Feminist reaction to Duke non-rape case.
“Bastard! Punish the false accuser!” –Predictable feminist reaction to this article.
How much you want to bet this guy has a Gore/Kerry/Edwards/Clinton/Obama bumper sticker on his car?
JD–It was in the UK, I think. But yeah, maybe.
ALright, then how about an “Visualize Swirled Peas”, a peace symbol, a French flag, or a Greenspeace logo?
Swap the gender of the participants and it would be a travesty of justice. I can hear Pandagon heating up the tar and plucking chickens.
Can a man perform while under a date rape drug? I thought they more or less paralyzed a person.
The guy’s a jerk and I sure hope his wife knows now. The part about leaving the money is really low.
Sara – The body may be paralyzed, but we do not really need to be awake to make the magic happen. Witness – morning wood.
Sara: witness wet dream. At a certain level of intoxication performance becomes impossible, which isn’t the case when the genders are reversed: crassly, a hole is a hole.
SOMETHING HAPPENED!
Prof. Caric – This guy is a weenie-man.
“We each drank about a bottle of wine, talking and laughing together in a sweet and romantic way, and then he suggested we head to my bedroom.”
“……..no lishentme…..lishentme…….I was thbest fooking futballer in the bloody fookin’ uverse…………less go bed…..”
What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
As it were.

Leah, we’re making fun of the asshole who accused her, not her. I think this fellow ought to be in jail for making false accusations, and I feel sorry for your mum.
