then yes, you share some responsibility for what happened. Sorry. I do believe that the majority of the blame lies with the police, but she's not free and clear. Being a victim does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions for the rest of your life. You seem to think the fact that she was raped means that she can say anything about anybody and it's okay because she's a victim. Do you have any sympathy for the man who lost most of his life due to this woman's dream other than saying "it sucks what happened to him?"
