Rape charges against 4 California dentists dismissed after video contradicts woman's story

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) - Four dentists from California, including three brothers, who faced rape charges for the alleged assault of a woman at the Wynn Las Vegas, had all charges dismissed in court Monday.

Charged were Ali Badkoobehi and brothers Poria Edalat, Saman Edalat and Sina Edalat. The charges included sex assault, conspiracy to commit sex assault and first-degree kidnapping for the late July incident.

Prosecutors dropped all charges during a very brief hearing Monday before Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Eric Goodman.

"After a review of the facts of the case, it was clear that the allegations were completely fabricated," lawyer Robert Draskovich, who represented Badkoobehi, said in a prepared statement. "The (video) evidence confirmed the men's innocence, and the state has cleared them of all charges."

The unnamed woman alleged that the four men raped her repeatedly in a room at the Wynn early July 28 after she met one of the men at a Wynn bar.

"We are so grateful to the justice system for recognizing that we were the victims in this case," the men said in a statement. "We knew when the facts came out that the vicious allegations would be exposed as lies and our good names would be cleared. We want to thank our families, friends and lawyers for sticking by us through this horrific ordeal.

Wait!!!

I BELIEVE HER!!!

(ruin their lives, too, because as we are being so forcefully told, we MUST believe EVERY WOMAN, no matter what she says, because, uh, because, uh, um, ok, I don't know why, but I believe her and that's all that matters.
I also wonder how they treated their friends in the 10th grade too, but lets run them over the coals for a few weeks, then we can bring that sordid behavior up....
Wait. They didn't go to school in the USA???
Make some sh*t up about their past and INSIST they prove it isn't true. Make it go waaaaaay back so the only witness is you. Cry.
Laugh all the way to the bank.
Keep cheering.

Is she going to be charged with making a false statement, purgery ?
Can those gentlemen that were charged sue her for lost wages ? I'm sure they lost some patients when they got charged.

Because Dentists are some of the biggest crooks in the medical field AND they have access to drugs capable of rendering one unconscious?

now hold her accountable for making false accusations and false claims. The only way to stop fake accusations is to start holding them accountable.

12:36 dont loop all women into that statement. Most of us do not condone that behavior. Many of us stand in defense of Kavanaugh and other false claims. Its wrong! And she needs to be taken to task on her false claims. Yes women lie. Many would never make these false allegations.
