call me bitter. perhaps i am. last week, i saw a quad block of mug shots of four men of color, charging them with raping a student from hofstra university. they hadn’t even been charged, and yet their pictures were plastered online (and probably in the newspaper).

now, the female has said that whadd’ya know? it was consensual sex. the men have been freed from prison.

still, most news sources i have found have not released her name. it took some digging for me to find it (btw, it’s danmell ndonye). her picture? not even close. in fact, when i typed in her name, i got pictures of the four guys.

so, why am i putting her out? because there are too many people charged with rape – and other crimes – which they didn’t commit. also, there are too many people who are raped or had other crimes against them who get a bad rap by people who make up crimes that don’t happen.

so, my thought: make her more public than the four men have been presented. maybe it will discourage other people from crying wolf.
