Thanks to this incident and others like it, actual victims will be afraid to come forward.</p> I wouldn’t call Nifong a “sexual predator” for going ahead with the prosecution even after he became aware that the accusations were false, but I say this solely because that term should be reserved for those who commit sexual offenses; of course, every time someone like Ms. Mangum makes a false accusation, it becomes harder and harder to prosecute actual rapists and child molesters and the like.

A couple of weeks ago I was in professional training and the person running the training was a former police chief. This former police chief was telling a story of how a woman who had an affair became embarrassed and accused the man she had an affair with of rape. I asked him if it was common and he replied it happens often enough. Although, I would say that Nifong is not a "sexual predator" as well, I think Dan is right.<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> TDL</p> Unfortunately false accusations of this nature are more common than many would think.
