The girl, Wanetta Gibson, later admitted that she had falsely accused Banks of rape — he never raped her. Being an absolute scumbag, however, she refused to testify to this effect under oath because she “did not want to lose the money awarded to her in damages”. She callously destroyed a man’s life, and refused to make amends or apologize in any meaningful way. All this out of spite, malice and greed. Ruining a man, possibly forever, simply “because she could”. These things disgust me.

It was only due to a secretly taped confession made by Gibson that the story came to light. After which Gibson went in full-on denial mode. Still, word got out. Banks got out. His ‘good name’ was restored. But this is far from common… it’s incredibly hard to undo damage like this. To clear your name, once tarnished. It’s a stain that stays with you forever. People often talk about the Brock Turners of this world, the remorseless rapists. And we should! Be we should never stop talking about the Brian Bank’s and the Wanette Gibson’s, either.

The word a man fears most is “rape” or “abuse”. Allegations are terrifying things. Often all it takes is an allegation to forever taint a man’s name, forever ruin his reputation. Even if he never sees the inside of a jail cell his life may very well be over and those caught lying too often get away with it scot-free.
