I've thought about this as well, and I'd rather be a rape victim. At least then the onus would be on me to overcome the pain and I could do it as a free woman

What a ridiculous thing to say!

I have experienced the very thing you would "rather be" and I can tell you it is not better than anything!

You don't become "free" when you are being forcefully manipulated into a bestial act of degrading abuse because it twists you mentally, emotionally and psychologically into a pretzel.

It never leaves you. Never. Rage lingers for years followed by depression and self-accusation and fragmentation of personality.

Being falsely accused by somebody is a different world altogether. When you know you are innocent you are above the destructive forces which damage you at the very core of your being.

I watched an interview with a man recently released from prison who was falsely convicted of rape and who was exonerated by DNA evidence.

He told of how he repeatedly went before the Parole Hearing Board and was denied parole because he refuse to "confess" and demonstrate he was sorry.

The interviewer asked him why he didn't go ahead and tell them what they wanted to hear and be freed.

He replied calmly and simply that "it would be a lie. I knew I was innocent."  The man had the benefit of personal integrity. It held him intact.

Ironically, the DNA evidence would not have been examined IF HE HAD EVER ADMITTED TO THE ACT.

Please rethink your approach to the Guilt and Innocence rant.  It doesn't do your cause any benefit in its current hyperbolic state.
