Dad convicted of rape based on the dreams of his "victim"

[Mage]

Yeah wouldn't it be great if the Israeli President just heard about this, laughed and shook his head, and said 'Haha, No, No I don't think so. Pardoned.'

But that doesn't solve anything. The guy might be out of prison, but he will still legally be known as the guy who molested his little daughter and his life will still be just as ruined.

Having a ruined reputation is still 100 times worse then both having a ruined reputation and sitting in a prison.

You mean better, right?

Terrible, but the Israeli legal system has a reputation for not being the most balanced. Not long ago, a court convicted a Palestinian of rape because he pretended to be Jewish to have consensual sex with a Jewish girl.

I would argue that this is rather a contemporary thing and should not come as a surprise in the current anti-Muslim times. The Palestinian should have known that this could have repercussions. I would not expect any fair trial in current times in Israel as a Muslim or Palestinian. But that is just common sense.

In the relatively peaceful times of the 1970s this might have been ignored, but certainly not now.

For the Dream-rape-case however the convicted and and his daughter were Jewish, so the case is really ridiculous.

^^^Oh, granted. I just mean that they're all over the map as to what they take seriously- when I heard about this story, I half expected it to be some weird Talmudic thing.

On first reading the thread title I thought it was a new level of bullshit going on hur. But if these really were repressed memories, and he really had been raping her, then that's one shitstain who deserved to be taken out of the gene pool. Permanently.

Along the lines of the Satanic hysteria, this reminds me of a documentary film about kids suddenly "remembering" horrific abuse and ruining a family.

he started talking about his own idea for a film that could be made — one that would tell his family’s side of the story about his brother and father, vilified by their Great Neck community as sexual predators.

After all, in May 1989, Arnold Friedman, 55, and Jesse Friedman, 19, were arrested, charged with multiple counts of rape, sodomy and child abuse.

Arnold Friedman, a retired Bayside High School chemistry teacher, had been teaching computer classes to kids aged 8-15 for several years when he was arrested by inspectors with the United States Postal Service on charges of receiving child porn in the mail.

Inspector John McDermott had set up a sting which lured Arnold Friedman. When a pornographic magazine with pictures of children was hand-delivered to Friedman’s 17 Picadilly Rd. address in Great Neck, inspectors had the evidence they needed. After securing a warrant, their search turned up a single stack of pornographic magazines.

Though Arnold Friedman was charged with possessing child porn, the USPS investigation was just the tip of the iceberg. Inspectors notified the Nassau County Police Department, which started its own investigation.

The cops went through the roster of his former and current students and assembled a lurid list of sexual details from the teens ranging from games of “leapfrog” with the boys bent over naked in a circle and the father and son leaping from one to the next to tales of rape and secret shame.

One student said he had been forcibly raped 30 times in a 10-week period and that when he re-enrolled for advanced classes, he was raped another 41 times in a separate 10-week period.

But there was no physical evidence.

Dude, it is bullshit. We can't rely on movies like "Memento" for administering legal proceedings.

The fact that the overall incidence of repressed memories in psychiatric practice greatly varies with the degree to which they are currently accepted or refused in courts should tell us that it's an absurd concept with very little scientific merit.

Rape clearly needs a statute of limitations. I recommend five years max.

An Isreali author has chipped in on it for A Voice for Men recently:

http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminis...eamt-of-a-rape-and-now-a-man-will-go-to-jail/

I’m not one for puffing up stories for sensational news, but here are some facts to get you going:

A woman in her 20s dreams a dream in New York. The dream is outrageous: her father had raped her. She wakes up and quickly jots it down and recalls other times this had happened.
Years later, she comes to Israel and presses charges.
She has no evidence except the dream and her “repressed” memories.
The court proceedings are long, and eventually the father after appeals gets convicted at the age of 75.
She has no concrete event, not even one in the 10 years of alleged rape, other than a claim she was raped while her mother was in the bed. The mother does not recall such an incident.
Her sister claims she is a highly manipulative person and backs the father up. She says that her sister is capable of being very convincing and manipulative when she wants to be.
Her past therapists (she has previous mental problems) claim she had never exhibited signs of post trauma or repression of any kind.

Sister and therapists are speaking out against the likelihood of rape. Mother speaks out against it. But the global rape agenda is for it, so the guy is off to prison.
