Just bizarre how casually some would seek to ruin someone's else life.

The woman concerned has been jailed for two years.

I’m sure there would have been a large number of people who’d have believed every word of her accusation, and it’ll still be retold as fact on Facebook posts.

Very lucky he had the presence of mind to record the interaction.

Having both worked in education for quite a while, Mrs D and I are hyper sensative to things like this.

The golden rules are:

1. Never be alone with anyone you don't know
2. Never touch anyone (probably even those you know)
(this applies to your kids friends, don't drive them home alone)


And as my old Head of Department used to say

3. Don't fk the sixthformers

Seriously, these days, whatever you're doing, try and get someone else to help, flag them down, tell them what's going on, ask for help, call 111/101 and tell them what you're going to do.

What a terrible ordeal for the falsely accused man.

I’m in no position to comment with authority about the woman concerned but it’s not a great read.

Yikes! What a near miss for him, poor fella.

I did the same to a girl about 30 years ago, except I was at traffic with the window down and she drunkenly leaned through and begged me to take her home... I did, dropping her off and driving away without ever getting out the car... It's crossed my mind a few times over the years, how different people in the same situation, could have had very different outcomes...
