    A close family member of mine got fired from their teaching job because someone lied and said they had kidnapped a student.

    In reality, they were trying to help them get away from an abusive home situation, and the guardian straight up lied to everyone and everyone took their side instead.

    CW: discussion of SA

    Guy in highschool was accused of rape by someone I knew to be a pathological lier (I’d known her since we were maybe 11). It went to court and he had a solid alibi but this did not prevent the social ostricization. I never saw him happy after that and one day I just stopped seeing him

    I’m not sure of the specific details, but his guy I knew got kicked out of Israel for sodomy. Somehow our school found out and he was forced to resign from the Student Council President position.

      Any idea what year this was? Israel had “buggery” laws on the books up until the late 1980s, which I believe classified any homosexual acts as “sodomy”.

        2001 I think. I don’t know if this person actually had to leave for legal reasons, either because he broke a bad law or because he was facing real sex crimes allegations, or because he violated a taboo and was chased out. The rumor, as I heard it, was that he was in the middle of a consensual encounter with a young woman when he decided to try some butt stuff and then authorities got involved somehow. I remember him apologizing to the council and resigning, and I distinctly remember that he omitted the reason for it all, as if we all already knew. The rumor didn’t make it to me until later.
