False Rape Accuser Almost Ruins 8 Men’s Lives, but Police Say Real Danger Is Her Lies ‘May Deter Women Who’ve Been Attacked from Coming Forward’

“Gemma Gregory’s latest victim had no idea that she had a history of claiming rape when he was asked to attend the same police station in September last year.

“The man had had a relationship with Gemma but ended it because of her heavy drinking. The couple met on a few occasions later on, and one night he stayed at her flat. The next evening, Gemma claimed to police that she had been raped. She was given a medical examination and repeated the claim in a video interview.

“The man was saved from a possible charge because of ‘intimate’ text messages sent by Gemma. Detective Constable Paul Weymouth, of Plymouth CID, said: ‘We have a log of 512 telephone calls from or about her. She wanted to see him in prison.’”

Gemma Gregory (pictured) falsely accuses eight men of rape, repeats the claims in videotaped interviews, and does everything she can to put the men in prison. The result?

She gets a laughable 12-month suspended jail sentence for perjury, and the local police say that the real problem is that false charges like these could hurt…women!

Woman cried rape against 8 innocent men
London Times

The worst day of Paul Haslam’s life began at 3.30am with a loud knock on the door from the police. They told him he was being arrested on suspicion of rape, and took him to Charles Cross police station in Plymouth.

There, he was questioned about what had happened the previous evening, when he had spent the night with a girl he had known for only a short time. He knew he had done nothing wrong, but he did not know how he could prove it.

Later that day Mr Haslam was released without charge. Three weeks later he received a letter telling him that no further action was being taken. By then he had lost his job and had to tell his family about the arrest.

Mr Haslam, 30, had hardly thought about that day nine years ago until he read in his local newspaper this week that the woman who made the false allegation against him had since done the same thing to seven other men.

Gemma Gregory left a trail of disrupted lives across the city of Plymouth. A judge gave her a 12-month suspended jail sentence for perjury for her latest false accusation and ordered her to undergo psychiatric treatment. Mr Haslam, then aged 21, had moved to Devon from his home town of Bolton when he encountered Gregory, then in her late teens. He was working as a care assistant in the nursing home where a relative of hers was being looked after.

When his employer found out that he had been arrested, he lost his job. The news also ruined a holiday in Florida for his aunt and uncle. Mr Haslam, now the father of three young boys, said: “If it hadn’t been for two other people in the house who knew nothing untoward had happened, I could have gone to prison for a crime I didn’t commit. The thought makes my blood run cold.”

    ….Are you trying to hinder womens right to falselly accuse any man for any reason????

    Gemma Gregory is not particularly unique among women, in terms of being a “serial false-rape accuser”.

    And she’s certainly not particularly unique among women in receiving a 12-month suspended jail sentence for placing multiple men in danger of being prosecuted for rape under false pretenses.

    The only real UNIQUE aspect to this case is that Gemma Gregory was photographed, her picture made public, and a news story written about the case.

    Tom Leykis one day, during one of his nationally syndicated talk shows invited men who were falsely accused of rape and acquitted to phone in to relate their stories for the public.

    Interestingly, or perhaps horrifyingly, some men reported being arrested by women who used false rape accusations as a means of ending sexual relationships that those women had grown tired of!

    And a number of those men, in the course of the investigations, even learned of other men who had received the same “treatment” from those lying gals.

    Needless to say, after spending thousands of dollars in defense attorneys, being fired from their jobs, some of those men were found “not guilty”. Some were not prosecuted when the women involved did not provide believable stories.

    But other men are almost certainly rotting in prison as a result of entitled, privileged liars like Gemma Gregory.

    And make no mistake, it’s easy to see just how expendable men are from the sentence that Gemma Gregory received – a 12-month suspended sentence…. for intentionally endangering men’s freedoms for DECADES.

    And most serial false rape accusers enjoy anonymity, the protection of the law, and pathetic or nonexistent prosecution for providing false statements to police about rape.

    And that’s how the feminazis WANT things to be……. a situation where women can throw stones at men from behind walls.

    The penalty for an obviously false allegation of rape should be the same as a rape charge itself. This is not unreasonable: a false allegation of rape is a social, economic, and emotional rape that lasts much longer than the imagined moment. It can cause a lifetime of irreversible consequences. It is the sick mind of a rapist in the body of a woman, projected onto men to protect the woman from her own sick thinking.

    Now, if a very lenient judge were to hand down sentences of only 25 years for the average rape, that would yield a 200-year sentence for this mass man rapist. She deserves it — and should never be free to wreak havoc on the public ever again.

    I’m sure I have missed it, but tell me what charges have been filed against Ms. Crystal Mangum of Duke fame? You know, the hard-working student single mom, who was viciously (not) raped by three, or eight, or twenty college punks? None you say? Impossible!

    Barkingdog,

    Here I’ll remind you:

    Get it all? Need me to repeat it?

    Rape advocates often claim that many rapes go unreported. For example, I’ve often seen claims such as “only 1 in 3 rapes is reported to the police.” If that’s true, then efforts to encourage women to report rape would seem to make sense.

    And yet this claim of unreported rapes is troublesome. It’s a claim that I do not recall being made about other crimes–the police do not seem concerned about unreported assaults or robberies or kidnappings. I’ve never seen any figures claiming that only 1 in 3 robberies or kidnappings is reported. There are no campaigns to encourage kidnap victims to report their crimes. Why not?

    And how does one determine with any certainty the number of unreported rapes? If these rapes are unreported, how can a researcher know they occurred? Omniscience? Clairvoyance? A wild ass guess with no basis in fact?

    I do believe some victims of rape don’t report the rape. I have a hard time believing claims such as “only 1 in 3 rapes is reported.” Such claims are based on supposition, not fact, and exaggerated to suit the purposes of rape victim advocates. These claims are then used to discourage police from prosecuting women who make false claims of rape–which makes a false accusation of rape the almost perfect crime.

    El Cid:
    From what I hear, rape trials are pretty awful for everyone involved. There’s no social stigma from being beat up or robbed, is there? Not to mention that if you report a robbery, they won’t let your robber off because you forgot to lock your window that night. Meanwhile, rape victims are constantly asked what they were wearing the night they were raped, which is pretty ridiculous. Rape can be basically anything, even accidental, meanwhile if someone comes into your house and takes your TV – that’s pretty cut-and-dried.

    Now, you say you don’t know how the one-in-three statistic is determined, but you go on to say that they’re based on supposition, and are exaggerated? Make up your mind. You know, or you don’t know. You know, or you should stay away from saying it’s bull just because you don’t know.

    Hell, I don’t know either. It could be that a person does not report their rape, and is asked at a later time (for survey purposes) if they have ever been sexually assaulted and it’s much easier to say one word for a survey than it is to go to trial and revisit the rape so a crowd of people can judge whether you’re telling the truth or not (which sometimes the ‘victim’ is not).

    “From what I hear, rape trials are pretty awful for everyone involved. ”

    I doubt that anyone goes to rape trials for entertainment, but please note that the alleged victim is protected by RAPE SHIELD LAWS.

    Rape shield laws limit a defendant’s ability to cross-examine rape accusers. It is also used to refer to a law that prohibits the publication of the identity of an alleged rape victim.

    So…… while the identity of the alleged rapist is public knowledge (and sometimes, such as in the case of the Duke lacrosse team, the word “alleged” was “forgotten” by some of our nation’s leading “journalists”, the identy of the alleged rape victim is protected.

    And this provides women with the capability to “throw stones from behind walls” through false rape accusations.
