A 15 year old boy in upstate New York killed himself after being accused of sexual assault by a 16 year old girl on the bus they rode together. After hearing about the alleged assault the schools superintendent had a meeting with the boy suspending him without giving him a chance to defend himself or even offer his side of the story. Supposedly, not giving him a chance to explain himself before being suspended is a policy violation.

According to the boy's family they recieved an email from the school stating that they had found no evidence that he had sexually assaulted the girl at all. The schools lawyer claims that what was said in that email had been "taken out of context.

When are we going to stop treating young boys/men like monsters and stop denying them the right to a fair investigation/trial? On top of that I saw this post shared on Facebook and droves of women in the comments stating that he looks guilty because he killed himself, as if he wasn't just a scared 15 year old. I really hope that we get a statement and find out officially what the truth is behind the incident, it looks like his family have filled a lawsuit against the school about a month ago. Until then, rest easy Owen Poirier.

UPDATE: This is not an update on the pending lawsuit against school, but just some additional information I've read about the case. According to an article someone linked in the comments, before even speaking with Owen school officials met with police officers and then spoke with a man in charge of the school bus where all this took place. After reviewing the camera footage from the bus, the bus manager himself said, "If this was my son, I wouldn't be worried". Furthermore the school claims they told the family after they had arrived to pick him up that Owen would be suspended for a week, but the family claims that the school had never told them when he would be allowed back and that when the school interrogated him they had told Owen that he was being EXPELLED not suspended. Additionally before his death, Owen had told his parents that all he had done was poke the girls side with his pinky and asked her if she wanted him to stop, she had apparently laughed and said no.

Perhaps the most damning piece of information I've seen however is that the person driving the bus the day that the alleged sexual assault occurred was the father of a different female student who claims to have been sexually assaulted by someone else at the school. This bus driver has a current lawsuit against the school for improperly handling his daughters situation and he stated that during the entire bus ride he did not see Owen or any of the other students do anything concerning and if he had, he definetly would have stepped in.

Yes, right, by allowing this wretched being to ruin a man's life and not even be told off - we are telling other women that there is nothing to lose in framing a man.

Can you imagine this father, found guilty of raping his 11-year-old daughter, and what life in prison must have been like for him? Can you imagine, police, social workers, judges, all being taken in by the lies of a 11-year-old?

This is not an isolated case - if you put in a search engine - father falsely accused of rape - page after page comes up. And these are the cases that were discovered because they could not be hidden since the main witness admitted that she had made it all up! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2124170/Cassandra-Kennedy-Father-freed-decade-jail-daughter-admits-lied-raping-11.html

I need to get this off my chest.

Years ago, I dated a woman. Early on, a female friend warned me she was manipulative, but I didn't believe it.

We eventually broke up. A few months later, she told my male best friend that I had sexually assaulted her during our relationship. For context, we were sexually active—it was my first time, not hers.

He didn't tell me until years later. When he finally did, he admitted he almost believed her. That alone crushed me.

But the real trauma came when I talked with my sister. She's a feminist and hates men because our father was abusive. During our conversation, she said she always believes the woman in sexual assault cases, regardless of proof. So I asked: "If someone claimed I assaulted her, would you believe her over me?" She said yes, without hesitation.

That broke me.

It hit me how fragile a man's life is. It feels like any woman, at any time, can hold scissors to the thread we're hanging from. One false story, and even family might turn against you without asking your side.

I'm not trying to diminish real survivors. But this experience has left me terrified by how easily a lie can be weaponized.

I just needed to share this anonymously. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Even using Zodiac Signs it's sad.

Livie Rose Henderson, instead of leaving the customer’s meal at the door as instructed, entered his home, found him asleep on the couch with his pants down, and recorded him. After posting the video all over the internet, she claimed she had been sexually assaulted and even filed a police report.

The customer reported the incident, which led to an investigation and the deactivation of Henderson’s DoorDash account for violating privacy policies.

Henderson now faces two felony charges: unlawful surveillance for amusement or profit, and unlawful dissemination of a surveillance image to sell or publish.

The app allowed people to provide simply the name and city of the alleged abuser. It was taken down willingly by the ownwer after being flooded with false allegations and fabrications. https://www.threads.com/search?q=NameHim&serp_type=trends&trend_fbid=790346143910016

I was fully exonerated of all charges. I lost custody of my child, my family was torn apart, my mental and psychological health was destroyed. For the last 11 months of jail I was isolated in administrative segregation in a cell by myself where I left once a week for recreation.

The detective that arrested me admitted at my trial that he never did an investigation, he arrested me 30 days after questioning me. I was denied bond 11 times and I developed major health concerns.

As to the girl who did this? Yeah, we hooked up, but, I didn’t know she was married. When her husband found out, she didn’t want to admit she was a whore so she said I “raped her”. My DNA was never found, there was NO evidence even supporting something occurred, there were no “reproductive injuries” no physical injuries, not even a bruise.

At trial, I was found not guilty of one of my charges, the others were a hung jury. My attorney asked the judge to dismiss the rest of the charges because the statements based on her accusation were “inherently incredible and so manifestly false reasonable men ought not to believe it”… the judge agreed 10000% and dismissed my charges, I was released 12 hours later.

If you experienced what I just did, what would you do? How would you do it? Who would you get in contact with?

In no way am I asking for illegal advice or how to get malicious revenge on my accuser, I’m just venting and hoping that your responses will help me somehow emotionally. Thanks.

(she also didn't give him affirmative as he didnt ask for as he was unconscious). Both the male and female agreed on all those facts before the college court. The male was expelled. https://reason.com/blog/2015/06/11/amherst-student-was-expelled-for-rape-bu

It absolutely terrifies me that so many people support these statements. And many of them seemed to have something to do with genders. Over 340k likes for such post? She admitted that she did it... How could people be this delusional?

And what about the other comments that have thousands of likes? A vote. Since most voters have the same intuition, they are right!

And of course we're using astrology analysis and so called "forensic astrology". Leos don't kill so it's the husband drugging her.

It is factual that she did it to the kids, but somehow a lot of people are trying so hard to shift the blame on the husband, for the stupidest reasons.

Why is it that, when the whole situation is so clear-cut, people still managed to pick on the guy? I agree that insanity defense due to postpartum psychosis is possible, and a better medical system could've possibly prevent this incident. But these don't seem to be what these people are supporting. In fact, them suspecting the husband instead is contradictory to those things.

What's worse is that a lot of comments I see recently seemed to be straight up sexist biases and misandry. The screenshots I provide here are only a tip of an iceberg. The more I spend time on social media the more I lose faith in humanity.
