“I know the purpose of the site is to decry the injustice of being falsely accused. Just have some sense of proportion, please. It’s terrible to be falsely accused. It can have many horrible consequences. It’s still light years away from being raped.”
—Comment submitted Friday
I believe the man who gives the account that follows would agree with the commenter quoted above. The blog’s author, however, rejects the commenter’s absolutist stance, because the categorical privilege granted to female claimants of violence is what enables wanton violations like the one detailed below, a violation that is denied its due by a dismissive word like “terrible.” The man whose story ensues is living what may be his final days in penury, alone in an empty house. The responses he’s received from the court, from the police, and from attorneys have been conditioned by the conviction expressed above, namely, that psychological violation and vicious privation are “light years away” from physical violation.
The man has, in short, been stripped of everything based on a false allegation of violence, and he’s been told, “That’s tough.” Because of the prejudicial nature of the court order that was fraudulently obtained against him, his bank has refused his request for reimbursement of his savings. Although he was fully exonerated, he has no credibility and no recourse except to quietly die.
William Batson, who says he has been informed by his doctors that he may have only months to live, was barred from his home and then robbed of all of his money and personal property consequent to the issuance of an ex parte restraining order against him petitioned by a person he had never met who represented him to be a batterer.
All the court required to legally authorize the theft of all he owned was a fake narrative of violence.
William’s story (edited for readability):
The difference between other crimes that people are falsely accused of and false DV [domestic violence] accusations is this: All of your rights—to be heard, to face your accuser, and others—are completely circumvented, and the mob that is Rome will get its loaf of bread and its quart of blood whether it’s right or wrong.
I never even met the person who accused me. My DV charge had a special attachment: ex parte election order with all property and financials given to the accuser instantly with nothing more than an accusation.
By the time I made bond, I was not allowed in my own home. I finally convinced the magistrate with witnesses that I lived alone, etc., and upon entry into my home 15 days later all the contents were gone, all bank accounts were drained, and $13,800-plus in forged checks is still owed.
I got an immediate dismissal with prejudice from the court and a too-bad and angry attitude from law enforcement. They helped this person rob me. I can’t sue the police, and no lawyer will even get near it. Before, I had a 814 credit score, $49,000-plus in possessions, $25,000-plus in savings and checking, and they would not even write a letter to the bank so I could get the money returned.
[…]
I will never recover financially or physically. I had cancer that was in a nine-year remission. The last time I bothered to listen, I was told I was stage four and might make it to Christmas. I’m not bitter, and I wish no ill upon any. There was a reason our country was founded and its constitution was written the way they were. This is merely one example of why. There will always be someone who changes something for a stated good cause merely to devour others with its use.
Amen, good luck, and I wish you all well.

William, your tale is worse than mine in many ways and i feel for you. If there is a god and he is good, i pray u soon recover ur health and wealth.
I too was homeless for a while Jay, its a hard life and a circumstance similar to suffering the false allegations under discussion here. Police assume ur a druggie or criminal merely because ur afoot and seeking refuge from the elements and prejudice of those who once would have been peers. Perhaps u cud visit some large churches in ur area, describe ur situation to the cleric in charge, and hope a just diety puts u in the path of an attorney with some spare pro-bono bandwidth. Like the lottery, u can’t win if u dont play. Sadly, also like the lottery, ur chances of being struck by lightning and a meteor simontaneously are infinitely better. I wish u the luck we all need.
In my case, a sociopathic X planned her caper for years and before our divorce managed to abscound with our entire stock portfolio, cashed out my retire funds electronically, and conned me into signing our home into her name. Caught her in n affair with my best friend, called her to task and poof! Five minutes later she was gone– spelling an ignoble end to 31 years of blood, sweat, and tears and a tiny little thing called love.
Time-warp forward five years: l am served with a DVPO that included a wiretap order (only two were issued in our county that year, one in a cop murder conspiracy case, and astoundingly– mine), for threats i did not make. Her objectives? Simple, plain and clear– To harass, torment and teach me not to call ‘b******t’ on her nefarious game, ensure she lays waste to my credibility, and thwarts any effort to investigate her theft and attempt to recover whats rightfully mine.
Charming and pretty sucubis that she be, Ms X, had also enlisted our two daughters to help hide her affair and massive theft. Tragically, her actions leave a broad swath of destruction bobbing ominously in her wake, her ruthless demolition making a smoking crater of not merely my life, but saddling our daughters with an incredible guilt, depriving them of a loving father, and robbing my now 3-yr old granddaughter (who ill never get to meet) of her grandfather and the perks associated with that noble title, and all done devoid of any remorse or consideration for anyones interests or well being but her own.
Time-travelling forward again to tday: A hearing for renewal is set for 3 weeks from now in the kangaroo style environ of family court, where men are guilty even when proven innocent. Amongst Madam Maliciouses falsified fabrications is surprisingly, a shiny nugget of pure truth. X asserts that :”Tim hasnt moved on, he is still filled with hate and anger.”. Allow me to state unequivocally “Well duh, Captain Obvious, but hate and anger do not equall aggresion, and those emotions thrust upon me are entirely justified.”.
This time im a little wiser tho, and the bulk of the credit for that is due to this site for dispersing my personal nebula of ignorance, and granting me a few choice pointers, like OBTAIN A COPY OF THE AFFIDAVIT. I have some evidence that would in a ‘REAL’ court setting, discredit several of her bogus allegations, but without representation i will surely be humiliated once again. Tday i begin my quest for ‘Perry Mason’ and will sell my soul to the devil if need be to retain him. Ill never recover my share of all i worked a lifetime earning, and my girls who i never treated with anything other than great love and infinite respect are lost to me forever. But, if god or karma, or an inspired legal eagle pulls a rabbit outa a hat for me, the good guys might just win one for once, and that will be a win for, tho admittedly small comfort to my beleaguered brethren William and Jay as well .

Jay, you could try calling an attorney and learning what if any chance you’d have of recovering your property or its value if you sued. The probable obstacle would be substantiating (proving) your claims. How do you prove what you had, and how do you prove your ex-girlfriend stole it? I’m not saying it’s impossible you could persuade a judge, but it seems like a tough sell. An attorney might be able to offer you a hand or a word of advice. A phone call is free and might provide you with some direction.
Other thoughts: Is there an inventory (given, perhaps, to an insurance company) of your belongings? Can someone else give witness testimony that they were gone when you got back to your house? Are there any receipts that show your ex went on a spending spree? When you were accused to the police, was a report filed that you could get a copy of? Were photos taken that could be compared to photos that showed what you had? Could the friend with the five kids testify to the truth? You need records or corroborating testimony. Have you investigated whether the woman has done this to other people?

It is called conspiracy and there are laws against it. Got to sue, unfortunately, and he does have a good case.

I am so truly sorry to read such a horror as William’s story. I guess this could open up a whole new area of fraud for many people. This is horrible, and it seems like every story gets worse. It is going to get to where there will be no relationships between people. And I was sorry to read Joel’s post too. Yes, I agree, the police are WAY out of control. Our nation is in a horrible state of affairs. Peace and many blessings, Anne

Since I learned about the atrocious restraining order racket in the USA, I have always maintained that a perfect stranger, a conniving female, could prey on a vulnerable single man with money and property and take what he had and have him thrown out on the street. All she need do is go sniffling before a magistrate, JP, or judge and claim that she lives with him, that he has threatened her or by words or acts caused her severe emotional distress, and she gets her order without so much as the judge even batting an eye.
Similar atrocities have been accomplished by law-enforcement officers, who seem these days to have merged with the Russian mob and international gangsters. First the cops easily obtained a search warrant claiming a harmless old man, Donald Scott, who owned millions of dollars worth of land in Malibu was growing cannabis on his property. Read and weep. Scott was murdered: http://www.saveourguns.com/scott001.htm
