GOD. DAMN. Talk about a complete bitch. Also what the fuck kind of police work is that "oh yea the guy with 96 pins in his spine and 8 fragmented vertebrae raped her"
Lesbian accuses innocent stranger of rape to win back lover
By BEN FARMER - Last updated at 00:08am on 24th March 2007
A lesbian falsely accused a complete stranger of rape in a bizarre bid to win back her former lover.
Zoe Davydaitis, picked the innocent man from a police line-up even though he had broken his back in eight places and had to wear a body brace.
Her false accusation led to Phillip Young being charged with rape, despite his protestations that his horrific injuries from an accident meant the attack was impossible. He went on to receive death threats, was assaulted and eventually attempted suicide.
But on Friday a court heard Davydaitis was a "self-centred attention seeker" as she was jailed for 18 months after admitting perverting the course of justice.
Mr Young's ordeal began in July 2004, when Davydaitis, 24, claimed to have been brutally raped on a piece of waste ground in Bedford as she walked her dog.
In a 17-page statement she gave a detailed account of her assailant and the attack.
Detectives immediately launched a major hunt for her attacker and put out his description and an appeal in local papers and posters.
Philip Young: Falsely accused
At the same time Mr Young, 49, was recovering from a horrific fall. That spring he had broken his spine in eight places after falling off the roof of his third floor flat while trying to get through a skylight after locking himself out.
Surgeons inserted three metal rods into his back, held in place by 96 screws, and he had to wear a body brace and walk with crutches.
However he was arrested after a member of the public noticed his description fitted that of the rapist.
After he was questioned, Davydaitis picked him out from a picture ID parade and despite his protestations that it would have been physically impossible for him to have raped her, the Crown Prosecution Service decided he should be charged.
After Mr Young's name appeared in local newspapers, he received hate mail, stones were thrown at his windows and he was attacked in the street and suffered a broken arm. His ex-wife even stopped him seeing his two young children.
Luton Crown Court heard the truth only began to emerge months later, when a former girlfriend of Davydaitis told police she had seen her "flirting outrageously with some girls" in a pub the night after the alleged attack.
Another of her friends told police Davydaitis had admitted she had made up the allegation in the hope of getting back together with her former lover, a woman referred to in court as Kerry.
The friend said Davydaitis told her that she had been drinking and had used a hammer to strike the inside of her thighs to create the bruise marks needed to make her story convincing.
Davydaitis also later admitted to police she had made up an allegation of indecent assault against a man in 1999 after he had upset her and she wanted revenge.
The case against Mr Young was eventually only dropped after Davydaitis withdrew her complaint.
Passing sentence Judge Barbara Mensah told her: "This was a particularly nasty calculated and malicious lie which persisted over time."
She went on: "You picked Mr Young out of an identity parade and he was entirely innocent."
Judge Mensah said even after making the initial allegations she had the opportunity not to pick him out. As a result Mr Young had suffered months of "anxiety and stress".
Jailing her, Judge Mensah told Davydaitis how her victim had been branded a rapist by his own family and some of his friends, and was now paranoid about being anywhere near a woman when on his own.
Speaking outside court, Mr Young said the allegation had ruined his life overnight.
He said: "My life came to a standstill.
"First I was getting hate mail letters that started off with 'Die you rapist', and stones would be thrown at my windows day and night. I was even attacked on one occasion when a man called me a dirty rapist and pushed me over on my crutches and I broke my arm.
"In the end I didn't dare leave my flat. I stayed in for four weeks and then only went out after dark. It was awful and I got so low.
"My ex wouldn't let me see my children and things got so bad that I even tried to commit suicide.
"At first I had thought the truth will come out but the nightmare just went on and on."
He said Davydaitis had written to him to apologise - but that, to him, her apology was meaningless.
Damn, that's such a retard move, and it only made me more angry when the victim was someone whose life was already kinda torn up (physical injuries, apparent divorce, etc.).
Women who do shit like this should be given way more time than 18 months...wtf is that. His life has been complete shit for 3 years and she only has to be in prison for 2. Thats fucked up.

Lol, I just got the funny image of a group of people actually getting together and campaigning to have her brutally raped (since apparently that's what she wants).
Now the public will slam her reputation and she'll have to live her life hearing people whisper about what a lying bitch she is for the rest of her life.
this is more of an anecdote exemplifying the terrible justice system rather than a terrible person - people are selfish, and will do crazy things to get what they want, especially if it's love.
how in the world they came about deciding to publicly charge this borderline handicapped man is beyond reason. maybe they needed a quick fix for the monthly rapist quota?
At first I thought this was the British lesbian...
HAHAHHAA. Me too!!!
So stupid. This lesbian set her people back. If you're fighting for marriage rights in the United States, lesbians shouldn't be doing stupid crap like this over their pathetic relationships.
I feel sorry for that guy. I can't believe the police took him in just because of his looks. To be truthful, he does look either like a bum or a serial killer. Somebody sue that bitch, please.

They will do crazy things for what they think is "love".
I think most people should call it infatuation from now on, unless they meet certain requirements in their relationship.
Ahem? We've seen straight people do shit just as crazy all the time. This is a fine story of injustice and human indecency, but with a bad and misleading title for the stupid people that will unjustly look at homosexuals in an even worse light. Sexual orientation shouldn't even be a headline.
The judge should have added 14 more months to her sentence and made it a full three years.
Anyone willing to do something that repulsive has no idea of what love really is and is seriously fucked up. Completely self absorbed whore with no conscience to how her actions play upon the lives of others.
She should be glad that I wasn't the judge here. I would have given her the exact same sentence a rapist would have gotten in the very case. THAT would have been justice. 18 months is ridiculous.
Im really confused, which side of the story is Zia. side A: Man, Never walking again (oh miracle hard work, lucky and walking again) Side B: Girl, Lying bitch, lie that goes for months and other older lies
This is so ridiculous what does her being a lesbian have to do with anything. i hate shit like this
everyone's all extra incensed because she's a lesbian, and it's all over the headline and everything, but it has nothing to do with her sexual preference. women do this shit to win back men all the time.
It's really sad how the idea of a rape completely destroys the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing.
Sometimes it seems as if there's literally no way to defend against it. It's like a witch hunt almost... people hear a girl cry rape, and immediately a man's life is forever scarred, whether he was physically capable of committing the crime or not.

i dont think anyone here is gettin worked up that shes a lesbian. its just the principal of what she did, at least for me =p.
that being said, im quite disappointed that she wont get raped for real in jail now for ruining this dudes life. or at least it wouldnt be as brutal as a men's prison rape. eek.
You usually don't hear about these things because sometimes the woman doesn't have such a horrible guilt trip.
I'm not saying that women make up these tales so that someone can go to jail, but this shit was so stupid. Did they even give that man a DNA test for rape?
well, Orlandu, I think you have a point there, but still I have to disagree.
First of all, the public cannot be told what to do or not to do, and if some of them had to have experience rape before or have relatives who have or whatever, their reaction is totally understandable.
Here in Germany, the way things are handled have changed greatly because of this typical public reactions. We've had several cases of child abuse/rape/hijacking where the culprit got better treatment than the victim, oftentimes giving the family of the victim a hard time coping with the whole procedure. There has been quite alot of discussion about all this, and as a matter of fact things have to be changed. Imo this is not acceptable anymore, but then again, it is understandable that vigilantism is not right, either. Shrug.

It's not about getting worked up; look at the title of the article, the title of the thread etc. The fact that she's a lesbian is as irrelevant as the fact that she's white. Would we ever have a thread/article called "white woman falsely accuses man of rape" or something? I doubt it.

At least this person got caught.
I think this is the biggest problem. Both rape and domestic abuse destroy it. Even if he is aquitted/ the charges are dropped, people still think he did it and intimidated the victim to drop the charges.
I think we need to keep this in mind next time we hear a man accused of rape.
Yeah, I understand that it's not always such an absurd thing, but I do think that some women are becoming too liberal with the power of crying rape. I don't think it's that big of a problem yet, at least not in the U.S., but it could potentially become a much bigger issue.
But like you said, if people have experienced rape before or know someone who has, that pretty much puts their reactions into question. If a person really is innocent, he could be really screwed by the people who have experienced such a thing before. They'd more than likely be dying to see a rapist fry and think much less about whether it was a legit case. People can get riled up too easily.
Anyway, I just think that more care should be taken into these matters. I don't think it's right for a culprit to get better treatment than the victim or anything like that. But I think that there isn't enough time spent in actually proving whether or not someone is guilty. In some cases anyway, obviously not all.
But personally, in the U.S. I don't feel like this is anywhere close to as big of an issue as age of consent laws are. Those can be horribly abused by some girls and can harm a man pretty badly too.
I really can't stand to see that she would do something so ridiculous, but I also am surprised that everyone around him was so damn stupid.
The police couldnt recognize the fact that it was impossible, his ex couldnt even understand that he was injured to the point that this wasnt possible? The poor guy must be surrounded by idiots. The only other thing I can think of is the police let this thing become political or something of the sort and just wanted to pin it on him for a good story: "Police catch brutal rapist!".

point taken. but yea, its media spin. shitty, but its common practice. if it was mentioned paranthetically in the article it would have been fine. but making it the focus when it really is irrelivant is pointless.

It may be irrelevant but I assure you it is far from pointless. It's called marketing.
well that sucks for him, but really what could he do? To have everyone u trust turn on u overnight cause some lesbian wanted her ex back, damn i can't imagine what that would be like.

stfu testie you are the worst person to critique someone for being self-centered. Well yes i overreacted and im sorry about that. Its just by reading all this it angered me and i came out as a lesbian-hater which im not.
What a bitch...damn, sucks for that guy. Well, watch out guys...if you are an innocent male and get convicted of rape by a pysco bitch with little to no evidence...you're still fucked.
The law of Double Jeopardy might come into play nicely here.
Regardless of whether or not he was found innocent, his life as he knows it is ruined. People read about the rapist but never catch the "oh just kidding" part. Now he'll be living his life next to people who think "what if?"

you made some off the wall statement that was just asking for flames, and so you got them. how about just dropping it now, as it was entirely besides the point in the first place
a justice system that punishes the accuser if they can't prove their case would have huge flaws but at least there wouldn't be bullshit like this going on

Yeah, Duke Lacrosse
Also, Double Jeopardy wouldn't come into play unless the dude has a time machine, in which case, well, whatever, dumb joke. If he raped her now, it would be a separate charge of rape, occuring at a different time, etc.
so many close minded individuals, you need to open your minds to the possibility and personal preference one may hold which allows them to dislike homosexuals

Not to mention that convicted rapists serve way more than 18 months and get fucked with/hated the most in prison.

Who the fuck are you....?
How is Testie self-centered, sir? And even if he was, that doesn't disqualify him from seeing that you've made a bad post.
I would like to fuck up the asshole who fucked him up. I would tear his ass with a metal spike, and then proceed to torture the lesbian over a spiked fence. I fucking hate the world for what its become. Feminist society, the pussification of society
I really hope this woman does get brutally raped when she gets out of prison. Accusing that guy is disgusting and all, but just think about people who actually have gotten raped, this is like a slap in the face for them. Fucking disgusting and lame that someone thinks its just great to fake things like rape and abuse which are both sensitive to society.

Lmao Testie you really have no idea what you're talking about do you? Unfortunately for your hypocritical ass, the majority of Americans do not actually condone homosexuality as you may think from stupidass mainstream TV shows. Nor do the majority of Canadians. So before you go spouting your Millian bullshit, how about you actually know what you're talking about. By your stupid remarks, YOU'RE the filthy trash who needs to be educated. lol.

About the lesbian well... You can find people like this. So devilishly retarded. This person was so retarded that only thought about herself. And didnt care about the effects it will have on the people around her. Also she knew exactly was she was doing and the damage it will cause. And to make things even worse she admits it so freshly and even gives that utterly retarded reason. I mean how many of you would falsely acuse someone because of revenge?. Thats disgusting. Lets never categorize someone because its different. Never. This is why I think my Peruvian friend was banned. Hate someone who is evil and devilishly retarded as this person. They are the worst.

Would you rather be raped by a girl or a guy? If your objection to rape is the emotional trauma involved then a man raping a lesbian is going to be more traumatic than a man raping a straight woman.
