Wait, women don't lie about this......

One of the issues brought up from time to time in reference to Houston area law enforcement is "...and we have over 5000 rape kits untested...." To paraphrase the pull quote from Absence of Malice, everything is accurate, but it's not true.

If a woman (and let's be honest it's over 90% female who file sexual assault cases) claims rape, a sexual assault exam is preformed. However the contents of the kit are not examine until sometime later. In that time she can refuse to assist the investigation (just wants to forget it) or as in this case, the facts ain't exactly as she first said.

Sex video clears men accused of rape

The hookup got hot and wild, and one of the two men whipped out his cellphone to shoot a video of the room-to-room romp with the woman they'd just met that night.

The sex video may have been the only thing that saved the two from prison.

The woman accused them of rape. The video showed otherwise, police and prosecutors said. What happened that night led to the vicious beating of one of the men two days later.

Last Friday, a Sacramento Superior Court jury convicted Jasmine Levanna Kurre of felony assault likely to produce great bodily injury and of another count of felony battery.

Jurors acquitted Kurre of the misdemeanor filing of a false police report and of another felony count of robbing the beating victim of his cellphone.

Unfortunately for Kurre, 27, the man's friend shot the video, showing her laughing and carrying on with the two alleged rapists – hence, the lack of charges against them and the lodging of the misdemeanor false-report accusation.

"This is great stuff," Citrus Heights Police Detective Ron Pfleger told the man who shot the video, according to a transcript of his interview five days after the Feb. 17, 2011, beating of his friend, outside the assault victim's apartment. "This is exactly what you guys are hoping for."

Had it not been for the video, the chances were likely that Kurre's rape accusation against the two men would have been given more credibility by police and prosecutors.

Instead, it turned the tables on Kurre, who now is looking at the possibility of four years behind bars...

You can read the details on how it occurred, but thankfully the man is not in prison for a crime he didn't commit and the woman will face some jail time for her actions.
