🤯 Here's a false accusation that perfectly epitomizes the ridiculousness of violent victimhood.
Souad Farress, a UK actress from Game of Thrones, was walking in Waterloo Underground station in London when she passed by a man named Mark.
For some reason, she claimed that he sexually assaulted her when all they did was WALK PAST EACH OTHER. Mark was carrying a newspaper and a bag and did not even break stride as he walked by.
They crossed paths for half a second without even acknowledging each other. This was all captured on CCTV.
Souad Farress also failed to pick out Mark in a police lineup.
Somehow, this made it all the way to a trial, where CPS played an altered version of the CCTV video footage. The prosecutor slowed the video down to half-speed to draw out the time window Souad was near Mark. Even with the tampered evidence, the video clearly showed Souad Faress to be a LIAR.
Mark was found unanimously not guilty, but still endured a ‘year of hell’. This included severe anxiety, social isolation, and reputational harm. When he demanded CPS to apologize for what they did, they refused and never provided an explanation for their horrible actions.
Straight out of a Kafka novel.
