Woman who lied about rape asks for 'bygones to be bygones'
 

A Los Angeles teenager convicted of rape in 2002 has been cleared after his "victim" admitted lying.

Brian Banks was sentenced to ten years in prison for raping Wanetta Gibson when he was 16 years-old. He entered a 'no contest plea' and served five years.

Soon after he was released in 2007, Ms Gibson contacted him on facebook with the words "let bygones be bygones". She admitted he was innocent but was concerned she would have to pay back the $1.5m the school gave her in damages at the time.

Mr Banks agreed to meet her and videotaped her with the help of the California Innocence Project.

I would not have blamed him if he had stabs her to death when he met her.

He sounds a nice chap.

These women get away with murder. I'm gonna refrain from explaining how I feel about these situations..

The only justice now would be if she actually did get raped... :2 cents:

"let bygones be bygones" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh delusional bitch...

On the upside....

Brian Banks, the former high school standout linebacker who was wrongfully convicted of rape and kidnapping, is getting a chance to earn a spot on the Seattle Seahawks? roster.

ESPN reports that the Seahawks are expected to try him out on June 7. Pete Carroll, who previously recruited him to play at USC back when Banks was a teen, is the Seahawks? head coach.

And the Seahawks aren?t alone: Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins have also called Banks.

Banks is 26-years-old and hasn?t played competitive football since high school. Making the step up from a competitive college program is a rigorous transition for most all-Americans, let alone a man who hasn?t been hit in 10 years. Still, this recent news is just the beginning of brighter days for Banks.

Watch Brian Banks? speak about his new life here:

Up until last week, though, Banks? life couldn?t be bleaker. As NewsOne reported, Banks was convicted for raping and kidnapping Wanetta Gibson in 2002, after they made out in their high school, Long Beach Poly-Technical, stairwell.

Soon after, Gibson accused Banks of rape and kidnapping. Banks? attorney insisted that he take a plea. While Banks didn?t want to admit to a crime he didn?t commit, the plea deal ? which was supposed to amount to 18 months in prison ? looked better than the 40-plus years he faced if convicted.

Once he took the plea, though, Banks was sentenced to six years in prison ? a far cry from the 18 months he was advised he?d receive.

Gibson, on the other hand, earned a hefty $750,000 check, after her mother sued the high school for lack of security.

When Banks was released from prison, he had to wear a GPS-tracking device, register as a sex offender, and keep way from schools, zoos, and parks. He couldn?t get a job, and was lucky to get a few hours unloading docks.

Last year, he got a Facebook friend request from Gibson saying, ?Let?s let bygones be bygones.?

Yes, she really wrote that.

Banks hired a private investigator who video recorded her saying that she lied about the rape and kidnapping. The California Innocence Project took up his case and helped get his conviction overturned. A Facebook campaign asking for USC to reinstate his scholarship began last week.

Asked about his chances to play on the NFL gridiron by ESPN, Banks says he?ll do his best:

?I?ll make ?em happy,? says Banks, who?s been training non-stop since October. ?After all I?ve been through these last 10 years, I can still do some things that will impress you.

?Like ? dead-lift 545 pounds, box jump 55 inches flat-footed, broad jump 10-plus feet and run a 4.6 40, all at 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds.?

NFL trainer Gavin Macmillan, who has volunteered to train Banks for free, says he has a shot. ?You see him run, and you can see why USC wanted him.?

And if the NFL doesn?t pan out? Banks already has all kinds of job offers. One of them is to ?work in the front office and explore other sports opportunities? for the Arizona Diamondbacks. ?I about fell out of my seat when I read that one,? Banks said.

Everyone who?s been following Mr. Banks? story is falling out of their seats with joy over the wonderful opportunities that are falling in his lap. Though many would argue his chances of joining an NFL team for training camp are slim, Banks? road to a great future has clearly been re-paved.

What a piece of garbage.

Totally agree. A lot of it probably had to do with parental pressure, once she was in a tangled web of lies, she was afraid to admit to the truth:2 cents:

She should have to do the same amount of time as he did... in the Men's prison.

i am pleased he has got on the football thing.

though in no way will it make up for 6 years in prison.

i wonder if she will be charged. also she should have the 1 million taken from her. they should give him the million at least.

i hope sshe does 10 years in prison.

also i hope they look at the justice system. its not justice when inicent people are forced to pleade guilty. it makes you wonder how many inicent people are in prison.

as i say he sounds very nice.

but hand on hart i realy do not think i would be as nice as him after 6 years in prison. i would have spent every day thinking of how to kill her slowly.

With lying whores like this around, it's no wonder the police don't treat every rape claim seriously.

All those groups calling for tougher laws in rape cases, should actually be putting more effort into stopping bitches like this making shit up, and actually affecting REAL rape cases in the process...

The accuser now states that she was paid by Banks to do the interview changing her claim about rape. :helpme

Sounds like this one is heading back to court...

ADG

people suck, bottom line

Damn those she devils,she should be locked up

Agree, she should certainly have to go to prison for at least the amount of time he was in for.

Good for him!

Classy broad.

with all his pent up anger and cellblock muscle that guy is gonna be like a runaway freightliner headed downhill with no airbrakes on the football field

i can see him plowing through cheerleaders on the sideline now

That is one cruel fucking cunt!!

Wonder if she's gonna do time or pay the $$ back?

ask her

Sista got paid. Now she needs to do some time in jail like this poor guy did.

Nasty little bitch... Wish someone really did this shit to her now, just to feel how is it on her skin! I was so pissed when read this article today :mad:

I know this goes without saying, so I'm going to just say it anyway.

It's easy to say "let bygones be bygones" when you didn't suffer anything and you gained cash rewards from lying.

Unbelievable!

She's a liar, so what can we expect?

Why they covered her face is strange to me, she's now in the spotlight.

Interesting family. http://slumz.boxden.com/f16/wanetta-...ation-1761011/

DVtimes, did you miss all the threads about this last week?

Never a good idea to meet someone who screwed up your life no matter how bad they feel - if they did - then she had 6 years to make it right. She should give the money to him and spend 6 years herself.

Not going to say much else over the anger inside over women who falsely accuse thinking and knowing the courts are on their side no matter what. This is why in Canada - every woman is videotaped during their statement and warned that if she lied she would go to jail. Period.

Sure seems like it was a good idea in this situation.

Seriously, who would rape that ??

if they let her off, surly it will encurage others to do the same.

i would say i got raped if i was going to be paid 1 million. heck i would be saying that each week.

Wow. Reminds me of when that girl made those bullshit allegations against Kobe.

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documen...lice-interview

I would hire a hit man seriously for making me sit in prison on false charges an eye for an eye right?

She should be ruled to hand over $1 mil to him.

I thought in the US you can't be convicted of the same crime twice. Just saying.

You're right. But Wanetta Gibson was never on trial. Brian Banks was. Now, hopefully she will be... for perjury.

good question
