False college rape allegation ‘destroyed’ my life: suit

A Long Island woman’s unsubstantiated rape allegation after a drunken night in an upstate frat house has “destroyed” a New Jersey man’s life, he says in a $6 million lawsuit.

Catherine Reddington, 22, claims on social mediathat Alex Goldman, also 22, raped her vaginally and anally in a bedroom of Syracuse University’s Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity following a party in April 2017.

She went to the police and the university with her accusations, and has posted her brutal tale of assault on Facebook in a campaign that Goldman says got him fired from his summer job and could get him tossed from his new college.

“I woke up in Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity in Alex Goldman’s bed confused, bloody, bruised, with ripped clothing and splinter[s],” Reddington wrote earlier this month. “Alex Goldman is a rapist.”

But Goldman — and the Onondaga County prosecutor — tell a different story of that night.

False rape claims have to be dealt with as sharply as the real ones, holding the accuser responsible after it's found that a rape did not occur.

Exactly what we see happening in Salisbury! Many of these incidents, NOT ALL, are just fake cries when they get caught with their panties down!

All the fake news needs to stop. Including news media accountability for erroneous reporting before the facts are proven.
