Rape Trial Dismissed, After Two Years of Hell for Falsely Accused Man, After 40,000 Texts From "Victim," Seeking Casual Sex, Are Finally Disclosed to Defendant

That one person should lie about rape is no scandal -- you'll find liars anywhere.

That the police should deliberately railroad a man they know to be innocent? That is a scandal, and one that should result in prison for the police and prosecutors responsible.

England seems to be making up for the rape gangs it's covering up for by falsely prosecuting men innocent of anything more than not being that into a madwoman.

Liam Allan, 22, faced up to ten years in jail charged with six counts of rape and six counts of sexual assault against a young woman over a 14-month period that began when he was 19.

The criminology student at Greenwich University had spent nearly two years on bail and three days in Croydon Crown Court when the trial was stopped in a dramatic fashion after it emerged police officers had failed to hand over evidence that proved his innocence.

The alleged victim had claimed she did not enjoy sex, while Mr Allan claimed it was consensual and she was acting maliciously because he refused to see her after he returned to university.

Now, the judge has called for an inquiry at the "very highest level" to understand why police failed to hand over critical evidence including 40,000 messages from the accuser to Mr Allan and friends.

The messages showed how she had continually messaged Mr Allan for "casual sex", said how much she enjoyed it and discussed fantasies of violent sex and rape, The Times reports.

It appears that the only reason this man isn't behind bars is that a new prosecutor came upon the case, who found out about the texts being withheld from the defendant, and ended the case -- with an apology.

The life-changing discovery was made at the 11th hour when a new prosecutor, Jerry Hayes, took over the case one day before the trial began and ordered police to hand over records -- including a computer disk that contained 40,000 messages.

Mr Allan’s lawyers had already sought access to the accusers’s telephone records and messages but their requests were denied on the basis there was nothing of interest in them.

Upon discovering the messages, Mr Hayes said he would offer no evidence in court and would like to "apologise" to Mr Allan.

"There was a terrible failure in disclosure which was inexcusable," he said. "There could have been a serious miscarriage of justice, which could have led to a very significant period of imprisonment and life on the sex offenders register. It appears the officer in the case has not reviewed the disk, which is quite appalling."

Speaking later, he said detectives had previously told him the sexual messages were "too personal" to share.

Too personal? One of the texts explicitly admitted, to a friend, that "it wasn't against my will or anything."

These men should face the same stay in prison they were trying to inflict on a kid they knew was innocent. And frankly, so should the the woman making the false claims.

That's not the only fake rape charge making news now, of course. Oklahoma U. running back Rodney Anderson was accused of rape; now prosecutors are ending the prosecution, and the alleged "victim" dropping her protective order against Anderson, amidst disclosures that she told a friend she was excited to be at his apartment. And then told another friend that she thought a Rape Allegation would be amazeballz for her political resume.

The woman reported the accusation from the Nov. 15 incident on Dec. 4 and said she had begun to remember the events of the evening as time passed. Friday, the Oklahoman reported a friend of Thornton's said Thornton was thinking about future aspirations in the context of what happened with Anderson.

One friend told police Thornton had said "this would be a 'great thing' for her political career following the Air Force," The Oklahoman has learned. The friend told police Thornton had said "female-empowered political organizations would love something like this."
