A little help with the boy

So after the charges got dropped against my son, he got back to the Navy recruiter he'd been talking to. He's been working with them and taking practice tests. However, they are kind of making him jump through some hoops. He's had to get the minutes showing charges were dropped, then he had to go back and get a copy with the judge's signature. He was also asked to get some things from the Sheriff's department. Seque to the gentleman I've been working with on a political thing, and he mentioned defamation cases, and how he's planning to proceed with the political thing. I was impressed and casually mentioned that I need him for "my defamation case" which was actually my son's case. Long story short, turns out he's an expert on false rape accusations and he's going to help my son with the Navy, basically he will review the evidence and then write them a letter (as an expert with military credentials). Possibly this could also be used to sue her, although I'd have to pay an attorney up front, I wouldn't be able to get the case taken on contingency. but anyway, it's help. Not free, the boy is going to have to pay him for his time, but it's help.

His attorney was retained in your son's effort to enter armed services. Information gathered will clear the way (hopefully) so he can enlist in the Navy. If the attorney is successful and your son enters the Navy, do you think it wise to pursue the girl with litigation? Couldn't she initiate reopening of the criminal case and spell the end of your boy's Navy career or force action by the Navy if charges are reopened? She deserves to be tarred and feathered. No question there. But. It just goes away and your son enters the Navy if the attorney is successful. If you bring civil charges against the girl, she may blow the entire thing up again and your son will face jail time and a discharge from service. As unfair as it sounds, it might be best to let it go if your son is accepted in the Navy. Tough call. I hope the attorney is successful.

I don't think there's enough evidence to convict my son, and if I were to pursue a civil case, our attorney would be able to depose her (8 hours, so I"m told). A good attorney might be able to get her to confess. That would not only get the civil case won, but also possibly allow us to pursue an exoneration. But it would be really expensive.

@dawnald There will always be a risk if you take that step. Since charges were dropped without prejudice, if she presses or comes up with new evidence, real or imagined, the criminal case could move forward, putting into jeopardy his status in the Navy. If like you say, the charges are dropped and he can enlist, it might not only be expensive to pursue litigation, it could open the criminal charges too. Don't you just want to go spank that girl?

False accusations should be held accountable. It's nothing to joke about, and it angers me. I hope the best for your son.

I think so too, but it's not a cut and dried case as long as she doesn't admit she lied, so I'd have to pay attorney's fees up front.

If he wins the case, shouldn´t the girl pay all he had to spend?

@marguicha yes and if I sue her I'd have to pay upfront

@dawnald The problem is also that legal help is too expensive.

You must have posted a previous discussion about your son. I didn’t completely understand the situation.

He was arrested on false charges, long expensive ordeal, and charges were recently dropped.

What would be gained in winning a suit against her?

Wages garnished until I'm paid back, and if she admits lying in a deposition, the boy's arrest could be removed.

It will never be completely over as long as there is an arrest on his record

False accusations should be held accountable and strictly punished. I am happy for your son. I hope that he is soon back to a good life that he actually deserves. Going through such things is a big turmoil on our mental and emotional health and nothing can compensate for that.
