NV drops rape charges against 4 dentists

Post by _ajax18 »

Prosecutors in Las Vegas dropped all charges against four California dentists when video evidence did not back up a woman’s claim that the men raped her.

Authorities initially charged Ali Badkoobehi, Poria Edalat, Saman Edalat, and Sina Edalat with rape after a woman claimed the four men forced themselves upon her in a room at the Wynn hotel in July, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The accuser told police that the men held her down in a chair and took turns raping her and that she could not resist because she was too drunk. The men were arrested early in August, booked, but then released as the case moved forward.

Now, the entire case has been dismissed after prosecutors dropped the charges based on video evidence that did not align with the claims of the purported victim, the paper reported.
“After review of the facts of the case, it was clear that the allegations were completely fabricated,” lawyers for the accused men said in a statement released to the media. “The evidence confirmed the men’s innocence, and the state has cleared them of all charges.”

The case was so undermined that none of the four accused men felt it necessary to appear in court to hear the dismissal of the charges.

“We are so grateful to the justice system for recognizing that we were the victims in this case,” the men’s statement said.

The statement also came with a timely warning about the #MeToo movement: “We knew when the facts came out that the vicious allegations would be exposed as lies and our good names would be cleared. At this sensitive moment in our history, we believe that women should be respected and heard and believed. But as this case shows, it is also important to keep a critical eye on those willing to use the movement for their own selfish motives and remember that innocent until proven guilty is one of our country’s bedrock principles.

What should happen to the woman who fabricated these charges?

She should serve time, and be sued in civil court for libel?

They should be arrested, charged by the DA, have a trial, be found guilty based on evidence, and serve time?

Filing a false report is a class A misdemeanor, likely not worth serving time for. However, the civil suit should be pursued and the State should be entitled to reimbursement for expenses.

The same thing that happens to men (or women) who don't like to rape people?

Why am I not surprised Brietfart went looking for something like this to put on their front page while omitting details.. AGAIN.

The woman said she was raped by four guys while she was intoxicated.

It was dismissed because an entire team of high powered attorney's got video and successfully argued that the footage suggested the "sex was consensual."

Two key points Brietbart intentionally left out. They want this to appear as though some random, bored #metoo woman just made a crazy allegation based on nothing and almost got away with it while four white male victims almost suffered the consequences. In reality she probably woke up the next day hungover sore as all get out with memory flashes of several guys on top of her.

Well the woman already said in her initial allegations that she was highly intoxicated. So if she were intoxicated enough, she couldn't have really consented to a sexual gangbang no matter what it looked like on film. And only one of the defendants attorneys said his client didn't have sex, suggesting the other three did. I wonder how many of these dentists were married.

Leave it to a bunch of dentists to go poking around in someone's orifice and believe it was consensual.

If it can be shown that she had malicious intent and wasn't genuinely under the belief that she was raped, she should be prosecuted for making a false police report.
