Tawana Brawley, a young Black woman, is found covered with feces and wrapped in garbage bags outside the Pavilion Condominiums in Wappingers Falls, New York. Brawley appeared to have undergone an extremely traumatic experience: parts of her hair were cut off, her pants were slightly burned, and there was a racial slur scrawled on her body. Brawley told authorities that for four days she had been held against her will and repeatedly raped by a gang of white men, one of whom she claimed had a police badge.
The Brawley case became a media sensation when controversial attorney C. Vernon Mason, Alton Maddox, and community activist Al Sharpton declared their support for Brawley and alleged that there was a cover-up in the investigation. Unfortunately, Brawley’s story did not hold up to the close scrutiny that followed.
Although she claimed to have been abducted and held for four days, nobody had filed a missing person’s report for the teenager during that time. In fact, there was little concrete evidence that Brawley had been attacked and increasing suspicion that her story was fabricated. According to several witnesses, Brawley had attended a party while she was supposedly missing, and fiber evidence showed that Brawley had likely written the racial slurs on herself.
In the face of mounting criticism, Brawley’s advisers began making wild, unfounded accusations, charging that Assistant District Attorney Stephen Pagones had participated in the alleged rape and that Special Prosecutor Robert Abrams was masturbating to the evidentiary photos.
While the controversy surrounding the case became a media circus, Brawley and her family refused to testify or cooperate with the investigation. In October 1988, a Grand Jury dismissed the entire matter. Attorneys Mason and Maddox faced disciplinary proceedings from the New York State Bar for their conduct during the investigation and Pagones filed a libel suit against Mason, Maddox and Sharpton, which he won in 1998.

she and Sharpton were an inspiration for Wussie Smollet and many more false accusations in the following decades
But he treats little girls respectfully.
You would think that people that make this kind of stuff up would be penalized.
By advancing the preferred narrative, the hoaxers are rewarded. Al Sharpton made millions afterward. I used to see him holding court at “his table” at the Four Seasons in Manhattan in a very expensive suit. What a crock. Now instead of just a nobody like Tawana, the left has moved onto the celebrity hate crime hoax, I guess they think a celebrity has more credibility. E.g. Bubba Watson, Jussie etc. Sick rats. None of these so-called hate crimes in the last 20 years have been real. Invariably it is the victim who did it to themselves.
so what? It is the accusation that counts.
You are right. The accusation is page one, and the trial verdict is page 10. The accusation always carries more social weight.
that would be racist
Four white guys wanting to gang rape a fugly black chick covered in feces for four days. Not on this planet.
Four white guys raping a black chick?
Trying to find even ONE guy that would even want to fuck a willing black chick is rare.
you are silly/happens all the time
