There's an awfully big space for blaming the victim created by that defense.  As well as for Rodney King beating trial-style misleading the jury with chopped-up video.

Falsely Accused? And them some...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I realize my heading, "Falsely Accused? And then some...", reads slightly Negative. I don't mean it to be. I was, (correction: I AM) a happy person in life. But it is Life's frustrations which cause us to be negative. Which is truly where my dilemma begins and unfortunately, won't be over for quite some time(according to my attorney!!) My frustrations as well come from the same types of stories I have read on this website, so I feel right at home. Two years ago, I would have thought you were all a bunch of babbling, Cry-Baby Idiots. However, I share way too much in common with my ordeal as most of the postings I read on this site. You see, My soon to be ex-wife is listed and referenced a few times on this site as well as thousands of other Websites, Blogs, and The Network Media, The Associated Press and Newspapers, Magazines, and once on a T-shirt that I saw!!
Below is the L.A. Times article and below that is the section that was on this site...
False rape report leads to 1-year sentence
A Dana Point woman accused six men of abducting her, but a video shows her orchestrating some of the sex.

A Dana Point woman who told police she was kidnapped at gunpoint and raped by six men was sentenced Thursday to 360 days in jail after
confessing that she had made up the crime.

Tamara Anne Moonier, 30, was arrested after one of the men brought forth a video that showed the woman was a willing participant in a night of sex. In court Thursday, a tearful Moonier pleaded for leniency and said she was remorseful. Moonier, who works as a receptionist at a woman's fitness center, said she had suffered from mental illness, depression and bipolar disorder since her teenage years, and is on prescription medication. She is currently in divorce proceedings and a custody battle for her 14-month-old child.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Carla M. Singer said that if Moonier was well behaved during the first 90 days in jail, she could serve the
remaining time under house arrest, officials said. Moonier was also ordered to repay more than $2,000 to the state for financial aid she received for being an alleged victim of violent crimes.

Moonier, who had no criminal history, pleaded guilty in July to two felony counts of making false police reports and one count each of perjury and
grand theft. She was facing a maximum of four years and eight months in prison. Moonier went to Fullerton police June 6 and reported that she had been abducted outside a bar at gunpoint then taken to an unknown location and raped, authorities said. But police later determined that she agreed to go to a house and have sex with the men, which was videotaped.

One of the men showed police the 40-minute tape that depicted Moonier orchestrating some of the sex, authorities said. Deputy Dist. Atty. Paul Chrisopoulos said the woman's punishment was not harsh enough.
"I wanted her to serve all year in custody," Chrisopoulos said. "She exposed these men to a lifetime in prison. To serve a year in prison is minuscule to what she was accusing these men of."

The six men, who were not arrested or charged, would have faced life sentences had they been convicted.

Quote:

A woman who falsely accused six men of rape was sentenced to one year in jail. Her false allegation was exposed when one of the accused men supplied video footage of the woman willingly participating in sexual activity. Each of the six falsely accused men would have served mandatory life terms if they had been convicted.

Analysis: Positive development for men. This is a total vindication of the surveillance methods promoted by DontMakeHerMad.com to fight false allegations. Men who fear a future false allegation by a woman have so much to lose without absolute proof of their innocence. The state's burden to prove guilt has been eclipsed by an outrageous expectation on accused men, requiring them to "prove" their innocence. How is this possible, without surveillance? Some men, however, are concerned that using surveillance might subject them to criminal charges by violating privacy laws. But remember, in a democracy the District Attorney has prosecutorial discretion to decide not to charge someone with a crime. Women who try to "play the system" are not likely to generate any sympathy with prosecutors who are shown proof (in the form of surveillance) that the system is being manipulated. Note that none of the men who recorded the video were charged for doing so.
Without reforms in criminal law and family law, we are heading into a world in which the only thing that can save a falsely accused man from years behind bars is the record button.

Dana Point woman recants rapes (7/26/2006, Orange County Register)

A woman who accused six men of kidnapping and raping her at gunpoint two years ago admitted she made it up, after TAPED SURVEILLANCE was provided to police by one of the falsely accused men. The six men were never charged or convicted in the case. The false accuser was charged with grand theft, perjury, making a false claim to the state (for funds intended for domestic violence victims), and making false statements to police.

Analysis: Positive development for men. This is a perfect example of how to use surveillance to fight false allegations. A 40-minute video tape provided police with all the evidence they needed to exonerate the accused men. They were never even charged, avoiding the legal costs associated with a protracted jury trial. Men who fear prosecution for utilizing surveillance against a false accuser need only look at this case. Police and prosecutors dislike being duped...

Yes, I was married to this person. I notice that this site shows us that this is a Positive Development for Men. It would be, except for the reason I chose to write about this woman. Let me explain, I am going to paste in a little of the e-mail I wrote to John last night:

The Reason I am writing you is to inform you and possibly your readers, Interesting information about this woman and her family.

To Start Tamara Moonier and her Mother state that she is innocent and she took a Plea Deal to avoid a conservative Jury so she would not get more Jail time, they (The Moonier House of Whores-Tamara and her mother Wendy Moonier) also state that Miss Tamara has had Great Behavior in Jail and will be getting released on March 2nd at only 59 days of Time served on her year long sentence given by Judge Carla Singer who states that Tamara Moonier can be released to House Arrest for her remaining 9 months of custody. (For anyone believing Poor Tamara wasn't really Raped, I would like to point out that the Internet is a great Resource tool and it also allows us to Read Transcripts of Tamara Moonier's Gang-Bang Film Debut.) I would like to further point out in the L.A. Times Article stating the same as above about Judge Singer's Sentence for Miss Moonier, How was she able to only do less than 60 days in Jail? So does this mean she gets more credit than any other inmate for "Time Served and Calculated for GOOD BEHAVIOR" So, This means Good Behavior for her is: She did not accuse anyone of Rape while she has been in Jail!! This is an outrage!!

Tamara Moonier and her family have been falsely accusing every male Human Being (I heard a shameful story about a dog and cat once, but that is for another time) that has come in contact with her family, including her own family members: Father, Uncle, Grandfather, husbands, and even boyfriends) for the past 20+ years of Rape and Molestation. I have countless signed affidavits and countless (literally several hundred) pieces of proof. I have written statements proving and alleging that Wendy Moonier (Tamara Moonier's shining example of a mother) and Tamara Moonier have coached Tamara's Daughter into accusing Tamara's 1st ex-husband of molesting her. (by the way, Tamara lost custody of that daughter in 2001), I won't mention the child's name because she is a child, but let me point out that the apple does not fall far from the Tree!! This same child tried to accuse me as well, which she was probably coached as well by her Mother and Grandmother until her Lie was caught by some kind of Therapist that they were all seeing at the same time. Wendy Moonier has also paraded her daughter's on the national Talk-Show circuit doing shows like Geraldo, Montel and a long list of others except Jerry Springer, (Their producers would not give me any information on past shows unless I agreed to go his show. Do I really need to tell you what my answer was?) She brought her kids on to these shows for various topics and all about related to the same topic, Either Rape/Molestation/Tamara and her family had no male figure in her life (an actual topic)/ and to tell the world that they are victims!!

This woman and her familly are not VICTIMS, they are PREDATORS!! Let me re-cap the last 7 months of my life: This woman left me 3 days before she plead guilty to her crimes, since then, I have spent the last 7 months and 10's of Thousands of Dollars trying to get custody of our 20 month old son from this above mentioned lunatic. I haven't even mentioned about her "Bi-Polar Disorder" (Yet, the night is young)

Have you ever known anyone with this illness? It is like living with all of the inmates from "One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest" but worse, those patients were at least entertaining. The night before she left me, I had to pull about 2 bottles of pills out of her mouth and stop them from going down her throat. Because she was going through her trial and I was married to her, I did not call the police because I did not want to see her get locked up, I have since changed my mind. (by the way, let me point out that SHE LEFT ME, not the other way around, but our marriage is another story) To go back to my custody battle, the judge agreed to Joint Custody because the judge in our case has to order what is called a 730 evaluation, which is an in depth evaluation on both parents to determine what is best for the child...My attorney also informed me that California courts tend to favor Woman. My attorney assures me that an Evaluator will definetely see through Tamara and I should end up with Custody. Tamara Moonier should have never gotten any Kind of Custody in any way, shape form or anything. Tamara Moonier has already lost custody of one child, gave up another for adoption, and she and her family continue their abuse on any man coming into contact with them, they try to take their money, morals, and anything else they can get their hands in or on. All I want is for this child to be raised by a person who has morals, Values, does not falsely accuse people of doing horrible things to gain money and fame, and above all a decent human being: My Vote is ME!! I don't want child support from Tamara, but I also don't want to pay Tamara Moonier's Living expenses for the rest of my Life, just because she wants a FREE RIDE!! Make no mistake about it, that is the only reason she wants any custody whatsoever: MONEY!!! It is probably why she committed her crime in the first place, remember she defrauded the Victim-Witness Funds!! So, until this 730 evaluation is completed, I have to pay for Tamara Moonier's apartment because she has nowhere else to live except her Mother's house in La Palma, CA (The House of Whores) while she is on House Arrest. The Judge in my Custody case ordered this because he states if I really don't want Tamara Moonier's Mother having anything to do with raising this child, I will put my money up and show the court how important this is to me. This Child is the Most Important thing in this subject. I think there are lots of lessons to be learned here, but that is for another time...

When I met Tamara Moonier barely 2 years ago, I had no idea what I was to be in store for. We met on the Internet and she probably got pregnant our first weekend together. From that Weekend on Tamara would just Cry to get what she wanted, or in the end just Took it, like a thief in the night. I never imagined this would have ever happened to me. I could go on and on about this woman. That is it for now...I just wanted to tell my story and make sure this woman and her Mother never hurt anyone again. (Tamara and Wendy Moonier)

What a crazy justice system and world we live in...

My advice to anyone reading this:

1. Stay away from Internet dating
   
2. Get a good Pre-Nup. (not a pre-nup: A GREAT Pre-Nup)
   
3. You don't have toget married just because she is pregnant.
   
4. Most importantly VIDEO-TAPE YOUR Love-makin'

Uncle, Charles Moonier.  Charles just signed the final documents last Friday which gives

him permanent custody of his youngest Daughter.  Charles is willing to give you any info

and paperwork that you might need to help expose this sick family.  I have been asked

by my attorney's and my family to show some restraint in the Media until my custody case

is done.  However, they did mention to me that since Charles is done with his case, and

he has as much knowledge, (if not more) about the facts of Wendy and Tamara Moonier,

and the accusations and horrible other things they have done to Men over the past 30

some odd years.  Here is the article:
