Here’s a story from the Land Down Under.
Kenan Basic, a 36-year-old carpenter, stopped to help a nineteen-year-old woman by the name of Caitlyn Gray, whose car had broken down. He repaired her car, they hugged each other, and she went on her way.
She then went to the police and swore out a complaint accusing him of stalking her, asking her for sex, and groping her.
Mr Basic was then arrested and and charged with indecent assault, and jailed. He was denied bail. He was in jail for a week. He lost his job, and his wife filed for divorce.
Who is this paragon of pulchritude that Mr Basic risked his very liberty to proposition and grope? What does she look like?
When the police could not find any surveillance video or any other corroborating evidence to support her story, they became skeptical. Finally, she admitted that she had made the whole story up.
He was vindicated and released. She was found guilty of “knowingly making a false statement.
She has been jailed for nine months, five of which are mandatory before parole… but unlike him, she was immediately granted bail.
Apparently the presumption of innocence only applies if you are female.
