in the church and suicide cause and effect.

One thing I do know based on information from people who should know, there is a higher percentage of girls in the church that would rather claim they were raped than admit they were in unchaste, than is normal for our society.

It would be no big deal if it didn't affect the lives of others. I guess you heard about the girl in Ogden or Layton that sent the police on a wild goose chase. I think that is the case with the girl who claimed rape in Provo with the football players.

I have had a policeman in Utah County tell me accusations are more often false there than most places and makes it hard on them to tell when it really is true.

Interesting that you would draw a connection between false claims to rape and suicide.

I dated an LDS girl in high school (in Utah County) who told me that a guy had tried to sexually assault her a few months before we started dating. I didn't believe her because it seemed entirely out of character for this guy. She had an elaborate story about how it had been investigated by the police and she had hired a lawyer, etc. and I later found out that she had made the entire story up. Needless to say, that freaked me out and I didn't want anything to do with her after that.

She was mentally ill (I think maybe bipolar?) and ended up committing suicide many years later, in her 30s.
