On Febuary 8, a North Carolina woman told authorities that she had been raped. Normally you wouldn’t think twice about what would happen next: the police investigate and pursue their primary suspect.

However, when the woman later admits to making up the story,  you begin to wonder why she would go to such lengths to mask her true nature. It turns out she was attempting to hide an extra-marital affair.

The above mentioned woman is Marissa Ann Lovingood, a resident of Cherokee County, NC.

Ms. Lovingood decided to fabricate a story involving two masked carjackers and her fragile person. As the story (she originally told authorities) goes: she was at a stop sign at 3:30AM on February 7 when the two alleged perpetrators broke into her car, put a gun to her head and told her not to scream. She was then driven to a remote location and brutally raped by the two men (even though she described them as tennagers).

If a woman is raped she has every right and a duty to tell the world what happened and hope that justice will be served. But when women use rape as a get out of jail free card, only to put someone else in prison, it defiles every woman who has been raped and destroys the reputation of the accused, real or imaginary.

This isn’t the first time a woman has lied about rape and it will not be the last time. But it does appear that this type of reaction is becoming more prevalent in society. Morningood’s case is that of a liar getting caught in a lie and attempting to lie her way out the situation. Not every case is this clear-cut and at times the false allegation of rape does not have such sinister intent – just read this bizarre story from Australia.

With our now rampant “culture of rape”, who becomes the victim?
