Tawana Brawley
I know this is an older case. But was recently in the news due to her wages being garnished due to the fact she was sued back at the time for defemation.
But it is Tawana Brawley. If you are not familiar with the case (the recent article was the first I had heard of it) , this black teenager claimed she was raped in 1987 by several white males to include a police officer. Rev Al Sharpton quickly rose to defend her using racism and claiming there was corruption. Which is safe to say, does happen.
Even celebrities jumped on the band wagon to support her.
However, the claims where there was not one shred of evidence. And it quickly went from a rape case to a defamation case.
Now I didn’t believe her from what I have been able to read. I am also limited with videos being that it is much older. The only one I found from the time the case was active was too short and was clear she was just reading a script so I didn’t feel it would offer much. But included it anyways. She seems very confident for a young girl that was just supposedly brutally raped by men with power.
But would love your thoughts. This whole video she is speaking about the case. Never stands by her statements, but just comments on how she felt or feels but in terms that are not directly related to the rape itself, but more how she feels when she hears the word rape or hears about the case. She cries, there are tears… But would love your feedback on this.

Later on when she was an adult. She speaks the entire video
Older video that was brief. She speaks right at the start of the video.
