A guy, in prison for four years for a rape he didn’t commit, is finally freed<\/a>; the victim lied all along.<\/p>\n

A young mother who falsely cried rape, sending an innocent man to prison for nearly four years, will experience firsthand what he suffered — she’ll spend one to three years behind bars for perjury.<\/p>\n

“I wish her the best of luck,” said William McCaffrey last night of Biurny Peguero Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

“Jail isn’t easy.”<\/p>\n

McCaffrey, 33, of The Bronx, was locked up after Gonzalez accused him of raping her at knifepoint on a Bronx street back in 2005.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ms. Gonzales, who concocted the story to explain to her idiot girlfriends why she ditched them while out clubbing, didn’t just lie once, either:<\/p>\n

It was a lie she repeated to doctors, cops, prosecutors, a grand jury and the jury that convicted McCaffrey.h<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The “rapist” McCaffrey didn’t have a great time of it in the joint, to say the least:<\/p>\n

McCaffrey said he has some sympathy for Gonzalez and hopes she “doesn’t go through what I went though.<\/p>\n

“I was an accused rapist in prison,” he said, adding that in prison, “rape is the worst crime possible.”<\/p>\n

All is clearly not forgiven.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nor should it be.\u00a0 McCaffrey’s case seems to support the accusation that, when it comes to accusations of rape or domestic violence made by women, that men are innocent until proven guilty.<\/p>\n

In the comment section, some say that the District Attorney should in in jail alongside Ms. Gonzalez.\u00a0 Not sure about that – but if there’s evidence that the DA concealed exculpatory evidence, it would be a great idea.<\/p>\n

Although I’m sure that the laws – largely written by lawyers including not a few former District Attorneys – shield them from exactly that.\u00a0 (No, I don’t know it, but that’s the way things seem to work out).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
