Man Falsely Accused Of Rape: "Thank God I Filmed It"

[Liberal_in_LA]

lots already on DU about this case. Glad the innocent have been vindicated. but this quote...wow


The man who was accused of being involved in a gang rape of a Hofstra University student, only for the student to recant her claim and admit the sex was consensual because there was a video of the encounter, is on the cover of the Post today. While Arvin Rivera, an 18-year-old senior at Harry S. Truman HS in The Bronx, was not arrested, he tells the paper, "I was so afraid. Words cannot even begin to describe how I was feeling inside. Thank God I was there. And thank God I filmed it."
