Patrick Graham, the man behind this film, was one of several falsely accused of histrorical crimes by a woman who was either mentally deranged, psychopathic, or out for easy money. Perhaps some permutation of those or very likely all three. The year before she made her false claims she was awarded £22,000 for some unspecified injury. She also made false rape allegations (plural) in her teens.
We are told none of the foregoing here, instead we hear from a number of people falsely accused of sex crimes, including one woman. Their names are given at the end, but two of the most high profile and ludicrous cases were those of Mark Pearson and Liam Allan. Mark was alleged to have committed an impossible crime, one that was caught, or not caught, on CCTV. While this offence most definitely did not happen, his false accuser was almost certainly not lying in the conventional sense. As Graham pointed out in a July 2018 presentation, these people pass lie detector tests. (So incidentally did the Green River Killer). What was even more shocking about the Mark Pearson case is that the police and Crown lawyers went the extra mile to convict him, even though it was clear no crime had been committed.
Liam Allan was accused of multiple rapes of the same non-victim on numerous occasions, a woman over whom he had no hold or influence, yet she kept going back for more. His case made the headlines in December 2017 when countless exculpatory text messages came to light, not that a rational jury would have convicted him without them.
This film does not include any real details, but one suspects it is the first of many.
