Be a neutral party and investigate/ask first. Accusing someone of stealing cookies is one thing, but accusing of rape is a serious issue that needs to be addressed appropiately.


Edmonton cabbie sues passengers over false assault allegations

CBC News

"A veteran Edmonton taxi driver is speaking publicly about a civil lawsuit he filed last year against four young women who falsely accused him of sexual assault after travelling in his car three years ago.

"I just want to give those girls [a] lesson," Soner Yasa told CBC News. "We're so vulnerable as a cab driver."

The lawsuit, filed by Yasa in Edmonton's Court of Queen's Bench in April 2008, seeks about $240,000 in damages from the four women ($60,000 each) to cover emotional and mental distress. His allegations have not been proven in court. One of the four young women filed a statement of defence last month in which she admits to getting into Yasa's taxi but denies the rest of his allegations.

In April 2006, Yasa picked up the young women, all 19, along Whyte Avenue, a well-known strip of bars and restaurants in Edmonton. The girls were intoxicated, and trouble began when one of them tried to light up a cigarette, Yasa said. It is illegal to smoke in an Edmonton taxi cab, and Yasa told her to put out the cigarette or risk a $500 fine.

Just then, the girls demanded Yasa stop the cab, and they got out, refusing to pay the $13 fare. Then they accused Yasa of sexually molesting them, Yasa said. They called their friends, and Yasa soon was surrounded by what he calls a "mob." Both Yasa and friends of the four girls called police.

However, what happened in the taxi was caught on a video camera Yasa had installed inside his car after a passenger tried to assault him a couple of years before. Based on the video evidence of what happened in his cab, Yasa was not charged.

But he worries about what might have happened to his job and his marriage without that evidence.

"What would she do?" Yasa said of his wife. "She would have probably told me, 'There's the door, and get out.'"

According to a police report filed on the incident, one of the young women contacted police the next morning to say they were very sorry for the trouble she and her friends caused and that they would not be pursuing any charges.

The constable collected the $13 fare from the girls to pass on to Yasa. He took the money but gave it back the next day, because he wanted police to pursue charges against the girls. That didn't happen, so he filed the lawsuit.

While Yasa filed the lawsuit last year, he said he is going public with his story now to make people aware of how vulnerable taxi drivers are while they are on the job.

None of the young women named in the lawsuit responded to attempts by CBC News to contact them on Thursday. On Friday, one of the lawyers for the women said his client would not be speaking to the media about the lawsuit."

Interesting read.

I don't know personally I believe that your brother probably has a lot of internal emotional issues that he needs help dealing with.

As much of a hard person I am and believe in a good ol' ass kicking to set someone on the right path since that's what my whole life has been about.

I must agree with those who say that this is one of the situations where you don't have enough evidence to do so.

Girls do lie and guys to do stupid shit when their drunk or inhibited by some form of drug use.

But yeah I hope that you can get his side of the story and make an informed decision which helps both parties.

More drama doesn't solve anything.

I'm gonna go call my little bro now, just to check up on him. lol

Tokona-x

true that!!!.....i would tell your parents no use going to jail over it man it sucks i feel you on that but i don't think its worth going to jail i mean he probly should but thats it.....

Antihero983

I agree with ThatGuy, ass beatings do work.

I scrapped with my younger bro twice, and each time he stopped the stupid shit he was involved in prior.

There is so much fucking fail in this thread its amazing.

The only person i see speaking anything logical is ronmcdon


You donttry and shock a person with that "yo dude, i know you tried to rape her" shit.
That kind of aggressiveness will put anyone on the defense.
You go to your brother in a non threatening manner and say, "hey, i wanted to talk about the other night with ........." Watch that reaction. thats where his face will turn white or not. And it opens it up for him to talk honestly about what happened.

I really doubt he is proud of how he acted. He knows its wrong, and he may ask for help himself. Or the story may not be as she said.

Remember. He is you brother of how many years??
And your gonna alienate him without from the testimony of some girl that you've been dating for a few years, SISTER ???

WOW !!!

You know how many people have dated a girl and lived with them for a few years? Had it not work out, and moved on in life.
You know how many brothers you get??

You need to wake the fuck up and realize this is your brother, and your prolly the only preson he can talk to about this. If you attack him, HE WILL NEVER GET HELP!! Your probably the only person that can help him see a thearapist if he needs too.

But the honest truth is, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND ARE WILLING TO SELL YOUR FAMILY OUT STILL.

This sums up this whole situation.

Without solid proof, never throw family under the bus. Especially at the suggestion of some drunken whore.

girls are crazy.

here is a very realistic possibility:


your bro picked her up, took her to a party. she decided to hook up with his friend instead of him. the got in a fight about it and left.

being church/nice guy, he stopped the truck along the way back to talk to her about it.

she flipped out, he drove her back to your place, couldnt deal with her, let her off before he got all the way there.

to cover herself and not look like a slut for hooking up with your bros friend she made up a crazy story.

drftmark

I don't think I have agreed with you on any other post except this one.

^ he speaks the truth. Don't do that to your brother.

I think the word "rape" automatically turns everyone's judgment to guilty way to fast on the male. Everyone freaking out needs to chillllll. Girls got the name bitches for a reason. Don't assume they don't lie.

HyperTek

i was watching 2pac resurrection the other day, and even he said girls will flip out like that.. he admitted his behavior probably wasnt the best, but that he didnt rape her. *fyi, if pac was still alive, he would be on the sex offenders website lol*. I also believe that girls can flip their stories and make shit up because they might be mad during the momment. I had some girls tell me that im sexist because of some lil innocent myspace comments on their page like "hey you look real good".. and i freaking know them in person too.. You pay em a compliment and they dont know how to deal with it because they never been exposed to that type of social activity.

Id do some background info on the sis, like find out her prior experience with guys, doesnt have to be too involved, but just to see if shes been exposed to any dating/relationships or social outings before. etc. Ask the GF if her lil sis has ever talked about her relationships openly etc.

The op could always just go to her parents and say "I apologize for his behavior, i will have this corrected, will notify his parents and make sure he gets consoling for it" . Find out if they are furious about it, try to comfort them that the matter is taken care of.

THe brother having prior history on him like parents finding bongs in their car, this situation might make him sound real guilty of causing trouble.

If the OP serves an asswhoopin, it might further damage the big brother/lil brother bond.. Try to build the relationship back up, guide him thru life decisions like a big brother should.

I brought it up to my father casually. My gf told my mother, however she sucked at explaining things so it was kinda just bla to her.

Ill let you know about the results, I will question my brother when the perfect opportunity arises. However like said before, an 18 girl lies. But I can kind of see my brother acting like that, instead of video games, he talks about hoes and drugs/alchohol.

zenki.life

hmmm. i wish the best of luck to you

Thanks for the compliments!

I definitely agree that family isn't something you should write off so easily.
It's also difficult to predict how other family members get effected, esp in the long run.
this isn't something you want to learn the hard way.

hopefully the GF will also understand where the OP's coming from.

ronmcdon

Good luck.
Hopefully your brother will open up to your dad.

It could have been worse.
If the GF/GF's family told the police & pressed charges, then that would to diff to deal with.

18 yr old guys talk about girls & alcohol all time.
Drugs are always controversial cause for concern (esp at this age)
It could be an issue or maybe not.
Maybe now would be the time to try and get to know him better.

zenki.life

or its a perfectly good reason he doesn't know him

Well, get both sides of the story. However, if it's the way it looks (the way you described it in the first post), there's really only one solution to this..

It's so hard to judge without knowing the brother side of the story. Even if he got the brother to tell his side of the story, it's going to so hard to determine what really happened. Unless the brother is a complete ass there is no way of determining the truth of what happened that night, so calling the cops could turn this into a disaster for your little brothers life.

drift freaq

Well honestly he might have a harder time getting the real truth out of the brother if the brother is guilty at this point. Three things are working against it. One, he told his father and father may confront son. This is usually turns into a non truthful situation for whatever reason.

Two is Mother knows, that magnifies what I wrote above a thousand times. Like he would tell his mother the truth? Like his mother would believe him? LOL

Third problem? Time, the longer he waits to get the straight story, the better it is for for both sides to fabricate what happened or deny it in their own heads to where they believe it.

Has the OP lost interest to the point where he just doesn't feel the need to post updates now?
