(132,591 posts)there is NO 'false accusation" in winston's case. the incompetent, inept, corrupt police did not do their jobs, and, frankly, neither did the state (no other investigation I ever heard of had a "time limit" (which just happened to coincide with the heisman vote, not to mention he is an fsu alum) deciding not to prosecute because there is, supposedly, not enough evidence, is, as you damned well know, NOT the same thing as a false accusation.
but then, we are well aware of what that list is all about. keep trying, I need another reason for a glass of wine.
oh, and the kobe bryant thing? really need to get your facts straight:
Kobe Bryant sexual assault case
The Kobe Bryant sexual assault case began in July 2003 when the news media reported that the sheriff's office in Eagle, Colorado had arrested professional basketball player Kobe Bryant in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault complaint filed by a 19-year-old hotel employee. Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, a hotel in Edwards, Colorado, on June 30 in advance of having surgery near there on July 2 under Dr. Richard Steadman. The woman accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room on July 1, the night before the surgery. Bryant admitted to an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser, but denied the assault allegation. The case was dropped after Bryant's accuser refused to testify in the case. A separate civil suit was later filed against Bryant by the woman. This was settled out of court and included Bryant's publicly apologizing to his accuser, though admitting no guilt on his part.

(it is disgusting that I must point out the obvious, but--not being charged is NOT THE SAME AS saying it was a false accusation) but, as I said, keep trying. I could use another drink.
