What could this girl possibly have to gain from making a false accusation? She is the one suffering more than him. She is being villified, her family too...even her boyfriend. So unless it truly happened why would she want to put herself and her family through this. Also, acc. to the ADKAN website, it seems there are more victems out there. Think about it. a man with no license put in charge of at risk girls..no one gives thought to yichud or what other problems that could come out of this..there is something seriously wrong with this.

One of the things I heard was that she's doing this to get back at her father who set up a camera and watched what she and her boy friend were doing.

I personally know of "several" cases who were accused and then found to be innocent.


I challenge you name one frum person who was "found innocent" after being accused in a non-marital (divorce) setting. You can PM me and if You can verify it, I will buy you dinner At any restaurant in NYC.

To clarify, one - the accusation cannot have been part of a divorce litigation.
Two- a finding of 'not guilty' or pleading to a lesser crime is not the same as saying that a person is innocent.

SO she would ruin her life, her boyfriends life by making these accusations...she would go through a police investigation, questioning about very private things....to get back at her father.

I was referring to men being accused of having molested girls. I know 4 people who were innocent.

She didn't report it was done by a mandated reporter from what I understand.

How this would be getting back at her father beats me!

There will be a trial we don't have to b'shmutz either side.

I find this post fascinating.

Ok, so what is the alternative, BD? Should we only arrest men who rape little girls in the presence of two witnesses and after a warning? Also, if a frum man is found to have a chopped up little boy in his freezer, but he didn't kill him in the presence of two witnesses, should we also let him go free?

And why should we arrest rapists? So the little girls can be given a choice of whether to marry them or not? So that the rapists will have to pay a fine? What if the rapists are rich? I guess they can go along their merry raping way.


I think halacha, as it was applied during the time of the sanhedrin, has nothing to do with this century's legal requirements.

well then her father sounds like a sick dude if that is true...it would not ruin her life unless her father publicized it and he would have to be crazy. You seem to be ignoring my comments concerning...WHy the heck would they put a MAN in charge of at risk kids...alone with young girls..it does not make sense why he would put himself in a vulnerable position unless he NEEDED the privacy.

As far as I know there were ways to take care of a Rodef and they did not go scott free.
I know this is before Sanhedrins time but Shimon and Levi took care of rapists.

If we go Shimon and Levi's way, to kill a whole city for one rapist, that's pretty much the end of civilization. Or New York, at least.

Not really. How can you *prove* that someone did *not* do something?

I guess then we will use the jury system then.

Bottom line we don't use beis din today for criminal acts so it makes no difference what beis din would do.
