I got an email from a friend with this link today. DNA testing resulted in the release of Thomas Clifford McGowan after 23 years in the slammer. He said, “I've been living a life of a living hell and my nightmare is finally over with. This is the first day of my life. I'm going to go forward.” I hope so for whatever that’s worth. May he live to 90 and I hope Texas gives him 2 million in damages.
This brought to mind the entire Duke Lacrosse tragedy which I’ve spoke about at length in the past. More importantly, I’ve heard from two fellows over the course of the last two weeks about the predicament they’re in as a result of false rape charges. Their stories are believable to me, but I admit that I do not know them personally and cannot independently verify the particulars.
Guy A wanted me to use his real name
Please send this to everyone you know and you can include my email address if anyone wants to contact me. I am not sure what to do. I just want as many people to know about this as possible. I can’t believe this is happening. Things have turned around for me in the divorce case and the Guardian ad Litems is leaning towards recommending to the court that I receive custody of the kids. But, If I get convicted of the rape, its over. I know that the prosecutor is deliberately delaying taking it to trail to help her with the divorce. I am just pushing my public defender to make sure he is doing his job.
But I’m not comfortable ever doing that after I got threatened with a lawsuit over Escape from Gangsta Island. If you want his email address I’ll send it to you or, as I’ve sending him this link, maybe he’ll post something into the comments box. Here’s his tale:
I met my wife in college in 2002. We married in 2004, have 2 children together, she has one from a previous relationship. I went away for military training on June 6, 2006 and came back on November 5, 2006. When I came back my wife was very different, cold, cruel, all of our savings was gone.
On December 21, 2006, she came home at about 1:00 AM. I confronted her and an argument ensued. I left to take a walk, when I came back cops were there. I was initially arrested for DV assault. At the police station a cop comes in and says, he knows I did not hurt her but that she said I was going to kill myself. I had a gun in my car, but I have always carried being from the south originally.
I told the cop no, but he still put me in a mental hospital. In the mental hospital my wife called and we argued on the phone. She demanded money and that I sign over the van to her. I refused. I froze the bank accounts and credit cards via the mental hospital fax.
I was released 5 days later after being interviewed by 3 different psychiatrist. They found no mental health problems. After my release, my wife files for a protection order, and files for divorce.
I hired an attorney and pursue custody of the kids. On January 23, a cop calls me and says he wants to talk to me about what happened on December 21, 2006. I tell him I need a lawyer present and I will make arrangements. He tries to talk me into coming down anyway but I refuse. He tells me there is no warrant for my arrest yet.
Later that night the swat team arrives at my home and takes me into custody. I then learn that my wife says I raped her while holding a gun to MY HEAD. The prosecutor charges me with 2 counts of first degree rape based on my wife's statements alone. The first divorce hearing arrives and my wife hammers in the fact that I am charged with rape. The Judge enters the no contact order, prohibits contact with the children, until [person X] does an interview.
I provide X with documentation of my wife;s mental instability, criminal record and prior meth use. He ignores everything and as you said, I got a report 5 minutes before the next hearing. He recommend that I take DV classes, not contact with the kids until 6 months of DV. The Judge agrees and I am screwed.
I Enrolled in DV classes, took a drug and alcohol assessment, psych evaluation and after 3 months I was allowed supervised visitation with the children. After a few months of supervised visitation, my wife calls, says she is having a nervous break down and needs me to take the kid now. I send her to my attorney and she signs an agreed order allowing unsupervised visitation.
Around the same time, my wife begins to black mail me. If I didn't pay her $17,000.00 she would "Make sure I spent the rest of my life in prison." I did end up giving her about $500.00 but decided to fight it out with her instead. She had initially contacted the prosecutor, and my attorney telling them she wanted the charges dropped and that she was having mental health problems at the time she filed the charges. But as soon as I would not agree to pay her, she changes he mind and moves forward.
I find out from the kids that she has been abusing them. Slapping a 2 year old and a 4 year old in the face, putting tape over their mouths, pouring hot sauce down their throats, leaving them in the car when she goes to the mall, not feeding them, calling them f***ers.
My 2 year old also found a handgun and was running around the House with it while my wife was at some guy’s house. This is admitted in the GAL report.
So I tell the court on January 4 2008 about the kids abuse. Judge [Y] says he is concerned for them, but he does not have formal motion in front of him. Later that day my wife files a petition to renew the protection order. She states that I have threatened to kill her and that I have abused the children. She request that my visits with the children stop.
So, I am supposed to go to trial for the criminal case On May 1, 2008. I face upwards of 20 years if convicted. Nothing more than my wife's statement and the fact I had a gun in my car. The prosecutor has deliberate delayed my case for almost a year and a half now. I can not afford an attorney so I was forced to go with a public defender. As such, my representation is not up to standard. My career has been destroyed, I am in a huge amount of debt, and the stress from it all is severe.
The divorce trial is set for July, 2008. I recently learned that she has had her rent paid for over a year with some domestic violence group and that she has received an unknown amount of money from crime victims compensation. Somewhere between $1000.00 and $10,000.00. Apparently claiming domestic violence can be very financially rewarding.
So that is the quick version. I have audio tapes of some of her calls to me and one of her black mailing me. I hope you have some information on where I can seek help.
I’m not sure how to help him but think making his story known helps EVERYONE else and hopefully Guy A as well. Shoot him an email he could use a bit of fortitude. I’ll send the link to Angry Harry and Ed at RADAR. Any other suggestions?
Here is Guy B’s scenario:
Can you help me? I have been falsely accused of rape by the woman I was engaged to because she believed I cheated on her. I never raped her, nor did I cheat, but I am now facing 81 years in prison for a crime I did not commit. This could be a chance for someone like you to really have a break out story.
Like anyone cares! I wish the mainstream media would pay attention to guys like this.
What I have is serious evidence that proves I am evidence but it does not get entered because it is covered by the "RAPE SHIELD LAW." My ex has rape fantasies
You mean to say that female sexuality is sometimes politically incorrect? Never! There’s no point in informing our cultural overlords about that. They’d rather maintain blissful delusion. After all, their lies empower women which is an end in itself.
and she invites strangers to her house to tie her up and rape her, she then sends these photos to other men on the internet and invites them to her home to also do it to her, she also sends out photos of herself [self-stimulating] with Sminoff bottles. I have recovered these photos to prove it. We ran a daycare center together and she is still running this daycare despite all this going on. She is also a meth and coke addict. The problem is though she is very beautiful and can sell ice cubes to Eskimos. She convinced the police she was telling the truth and stole all my possesions that were in the home. I have lost my son because she convinced my son’s mother she is telling the truth. Nobody knows of this double life she leads but me. Can you help me? I have a picture of her tied down to all four corners of the bed by a stranger after she had him rape her. I AM INNOCENT !
Can anyone help him? Please do so if you can. What can innocent citizens do when the government automatically preferences one sex over the other? In the words of the King of Rohan: “What can men do against such reckless hate?”
