False accusations
Oregon
I am a 26 y/o male that was like a older brother to a now 16 y/o female. Our families had a falling out and we havent talked for a couple months. She is being vendictive and recently made up a story saying that we use to make out and tried to have sex. She's saying it happened when she was 13. Nothing happened between her and I and really none of us have any evidence to prove anything, just her word against mine. What kinda trouble could I be looking at? And what steps should I take (get a lawyer, contact DA)?
Thanks in advance for any info
It would be in your best interest to seek advice from a private attorney who specializes in criminal law. The DA will not be looking out for your best interests in a situation like this. If a report is filed against you, speaking to the DA without first being advised by an attorney or without an attorney present may work against you, especially if they are investigating you.
If a report is filed and the allegations are proved false, she can be charged with filing a false police report which is a serious offense. False police reports are generally look upon very seriously by judges. It could also opens the door to a civil suit if damages are suffered as a result of the false police report (i.e. job loss, wages lost, jail time, etc...) Ultimately, her parents may be held responsible given that she is a minor.

SO My brother is in Jail For for rape one and sexual abuse one, he has court tomorrow and he just turned 17 two months ago and the girl he "raped" is 15. I was wondering what the laws for age of consent and when it is illegal to have sex in Oregon. Because i already know that for it to be statutory rape is a three year age difference. and what will the consequences for the girl be if my brother was fount not guilty.

My husband is part owner of a company and I do all their accounting. He had a couple(husband & wife) who worked for him and the husband became very jelous and withdrawln after a demotion. He then began putting pressure on his wife to quit our company and "lose work contracts/bids" on purpose. After lunch one day they never came back and we didn't hear from them for four days. To make a long story short Sexual Harrasment charges were filled by the wife against my husband. Our lawyer found out she had filed three seperate times with the police (with 3 different versions of the same story), yet both the DA & police didn't find reasonable cause for criminal charges. When unemployment came into the picture we went to court and after hearing her side of the case ONLY, her EEOC lawyer decided to dismiss the charges of sexual harrasment due to inconsistancies/contridictions in her testimony. I have undisputable proof I wasn't able to show because we didn't get to defend our side that he couldn't have been in the places doing the things she "accused him of doing." I would like to counter sue to make sure they aren't able to do this to anyone again. I also spent our childrens college funds to pay our legal fees and I would like to recover that. What can I file under civil/criminal for filing false charges, purgery, defimation of character, lost wages, lawyer fees, emotional compensation (fees for baby sitters so I could meet with lawyer and go to court) and anything else that goes along. People like this make it hard for those who really are hurrassed to be heard and not have to relive the nightmare. Women shouldn't be aloud to lie, manipulate a business and the EEOC for money and not have punishment. What can I do to recover monies lost and make sure she doesn't do this to anyone else EVER AGAIN?

As long as attorneys are making a killing at fighting legal battles, there will always be this messed up system. I spent almost $280,000 fighting legal battles the last 5 years with liars who committed perjury every step of the way (and their attorney even making up lies in court and being quite the actor I might add). Nothing can be done. The police would not even take my complaint to have perjury charges pressed against the other party even with my proof. (My own attorney said Perjury has not been filed against anyone in Washington (or our county) for 50 years). The bar association did not take my complains seriously against the other attorny's actions. The judge hated men and even policemen told me they had been filing charges against her with the Judicial Conduct Committee (whom told me they could NOT remove the Judge as overseer of my case...but I could still complain..(duh, that would make things worse for me if I complained).
It's a flawed system. Until we abolish attorneys it will stay this way.
