EP#155 | The 12 Hallmarks of a False Accuser (youtube.com)
They have over 1000 false allegations cases, this firm, over the years.
‘They explore key behaviors such as lack of agency—where complainants evade responsibility for their actions, often blaming intoxication (and sometime becomming very evasive about what they drank, saying ‘people just keep bringing drinks’ ‘Which people? How much did you drink?'—exaggeration and dramatic flair (just saying ‘I was drugged’ when there's no evidence of that, 'I couldn't do anything'), intense controlling tendencies, manipulative messaging ('intense controlling behaviour' ‘constant demands for reporting’ by messages, demands for passwords, ‘How dare you? You’re not allowed to break up with me! You insulted me! If you break up with me I'll make you pay for it! I have nothing.), and denial of undeniable evidence (of random, erradic acts of violence, but only when they're documented to you get points for it). With vivid courtroom anecdotes, they highlight how these patterns emerge in cross-examinations and underscore the importance of documentation, like messages and photos, in exposing fabrications, especially in high-conflict divorce cases involving parental alienation.’
‘I didn’t say no because I was scared.' ‘I never did anything to him.’ ‘I didn’t report it because I was afraid of what would happen.'
'They always paint it as being under the course of control of the accused, so that they are unable to do anything in the relationship and are absolutely fearful to spark the anger of the accused, and therefore were scared to ever report.
They deny any aggressiveness, or inappropriate conduct, including verbal inappropriate conduct or abuse conduct, either verbally or physically. They always portray themselves as being coercively controlled by our client.
You ask them, Did you do this thing? No! You show them and ask them Do you recognize this message or this picture, and they say I have no idea what that is, and then eventually they admit OK yeah, because they realize you can prove they did that thing.
‘A controlling witness’ ‘I’m not the one on trial! Why are you asking this!'
Messages where they person clearly is seeking something, whether something financial, or longterm relationsip, or employment, and if they don't get it they go to the police.
Child complainants and it turns out their phone had been taken away. Abuse of the children claimed. Evidence of parental alienation, all sorts of evidence trying to prevent the other parent from having access to the child. The alienated parent is often the false accuser.
Child says We had no relationship, or No good relationship, and there's photos of them going out and having an amazing time, loving, hugging, it's a bonded relationship.
The parent with custody claims if the other parent gets access he'll take the child away and they'll never see them again.
Ultimately manipulating the system.
Pictures of having good moments isn't enough, because it can still be criminal, but when you've got a good, historical catalogue, a pictoral history of the relationship with the children or with the other party, and you can see qualitatively certain things, and there's the communications and the cards, and then there's a particular moment when you know there's been a motive to fabricate, that automatically changes the situation. That's when your documentary evidence has value.
The lawyers suggested that these hallmarks should be used as investigative tools.
