Dad Accused Of Raping His Daughter Is Saved By The Fact That She Stole It All From "Fifty Shades Of Grey"
(Fox) – Cathy McCulloch writes that as of last week, she hadn’t read Fifty Shades of Grey. The barrister is intimately familiar with portions of it now, however, due to a case that she describes as “exceptional” in a blog post spotted by the Independent. Her client was a father charged with eight counts of incestuous rape that allegedly occurred over a six-year period; he “had absolutely no real defense other than ‘I did not do it.’” His daughter, on the other hand, had given a “compelling interview” to police, explaining in detail what had allegedly occurred. There was just one thing that nagged at McCulloch: “the use of certain words, phrases, and descriptions of how she felt which seemed beyond her years.” Then her client mentioned his daughter’s favorite book (which he was unfamiliar with): Fifty Shades of Grey. An instructing solicitor on the case who also had not previously read it picked up a copy and uncovered “too many striking similarities” between the girl’s statement and the novel. McCulloch analyzed the passages and the girl’s interview as part of her cross-examination preparations. On the trial’s third day, the girl took the stand, and McCulloch began “gently.” Just seven minutes later — during which McCulloch brought up those striking similarities — “we were finished.” The girl admitted she had made up the allegations to teach her “strict” father a lesson.
Some of you may know this, but I am neither a lawyer nor a social worker, so what the fuck happens in this situation? When the girl gets done crying on the stand and admitting that she made up years of torturous abuse in order to teach her meanie dad a lesson, do they just go home together? Get in the car for the most awkward ride ever and just drive in silence? Can he disown her? Because there’s no way you can call this chick your daughter ever again, and I’m pretty sure false rape claims don’t really get tried out of fear of scaring away sincere claims, so what the hell is the move? Pretty shitty way to lose a child but you absolutely need to give this chick up for adoption or have her institutionalized or something. Parents have kicked their kids out of the house for far less than accusing them of rape and plagiarizing from a mommy smut book in order to do it.

Also, how did it take so long to catch this? I’m a 28 year old with a pretty extensive porn history and even I didn’t know what half the shit in 50 Shades was. Some teenage girl talking about red rooms and Ben Wa balls should raise some immediate red flags.
