Well, this is depressing. The Raw Story is reporting that
An Ohio University sophomore has deactivated her social media accounts and is afraid to leave her house after she was falsely identified as the woman who reported she’d been raped in an incident captured on cell phone video by a passerby.
The student, Rachel Cassidy, now falsely accused of being a false rape accuser, has had her personal information — not just her name but her address, the name of her sorority, her social media accounts, even her Pinterest page — listed on a Men’s Rights site called Crimes Against Fathers. (I won’t link to it.)
The man behind Crimes Against Fathers? None other than the notorious Men’s Rights extremist and crackpot Peter Andrew Nolan — or, as he prefers to be known, for reasons I don’t fully understand, Peter-Andrew: Nolan(c) . Apparently taking inspiration from Paul Elam’s Register-Her.com, Nolan’s site does what Register-Her only threatened to do: it actually releases the personal information of those it identifies as “Man-Hating Women.” He will even add names of women you don’t like to the list for a fee of $70 (Australian).
So far the site has several hundred women listed, most of them apparently women who have run afoul of Nolan or his most active lieutenant on the site, the pseudonymous “John Rambo” of “Boycott American Women” fame, either online or in real life. In most cases, luckily, the amount of personal information given out is relatively scanty and the number of people who’ve actually viewed the posts (which is listed on the site) has been small.
That’s not the case with Cassidy, whose life Nolan and “Rambo” have set out to ruin as thoroughly as they can. In addition to her personal information, the site has also dug up an assortment of pictures of her scraped from various sites on the internet.
And, unwilling to believe that she is not the woman in the video — and a false accuser of rape — the two have taken aim at those who’ve stepped forward to defend Cassidy. They’ve posted the personal information of Jenny Hall-Jones, the Dean of Students at Ohio University, for the “crime” of publicly saying that Cassidy is not the woman in the video, as well as several other women who’ve come out in support of Cassidy.
On Crimes Against Fathers, “Rambo” writes
[C]onsidering that women will always try to cover for their fellow women, and will NEVER hold their fellow women accountable, there is a very strong possibility that Jenny [Hall-Jones] is LYING and that Rachel Cassidy IS the girl in that video. This means that Jenny Hall-Jones is a CRIMINAL because she is covering up for the CRIME of making a false rape accusation. Therefore, she is a criminal and needs to be publicly exposed as such.
Neither “Rambo” nor Nolan has leveled similar accusations against Ohio University president Roderick McDavis, a man, though he too has said that the woman in the video is not Cassidy.
Men’s Rights activists like to say that Nolan isn’t really one of them. If this is the case, they should be willing to stand up and denounce his reprehensible actions, and the very idea of his Crimes Against Fathers “Man-Hating Women” directory.
EDITED TO ADD: I should note that Nolan’s site also has a “Name and Shame the IgnorMANuses” forum directed at alleged man-hating men, including Vince Gilligan (creator of Breaking Bad) and Nacho Vidal (the pseudonymous dude behind MGTOWforums.com). The list is considerably smaller than that of the Man-Hating Women directory, and none of the entries I saw listed any personal information that went much beyond links to Facebook pages.
Good thing that colon’s in his name, because what a piece of shit he is.
Is the whole sovereign thing about “I don’t gotta pay taxes or follow your law because I renounce being part of govt” etc, and if his house is on fire he’d be a hypocrite to call the fire dept?
Hope he doesn’t use roads either, but always walk where he’s gonna go through the terrain…
Nolan has shown up in the comments of the Raw Story article about it. Man, he is seriously gross.
You know we all talk about the day we fear actual physical violence will happen, but I really feel this is just as bad. I think that day might as well have already come. This kind of harassment can traumatize someone in the same way violence can and leave emotional scars that last a lifetime. An actual physical assault would be horrifying, but frankly so is this.
He’ll probably hsow up here and spread his gross around.

Oh goodness no. No no no. Of course they will continue using those resources, because apparently magic fairies make them happen. But they are quite “red pill-y” in their approach to “secret bank accounts started in your name when you were born” and other assorted nonsense. Ctrl-F for the most hilarious example in that link, search for “berth certificate” (yes, written like that).
I wish he had a berth certificate that guaranteed he’d stay a certain distance from other people
Wow, this guy Nolan is deep. Like a layer cake of shit.
Well at least I’ll get to call him SPANC to his face if he does.
It looks like his comments have been removed.
can’t laugh, at work

can’t laugh, at work
Rachel Cassidy may able to take advantage of the UK’s libel laws if the website is viewable in the UK. I’m not 100% sure though.
Also, may this guy step on all of the Legos, broken into pieces to make it more painful.
“Is the whole sovereign thing about “I don’t gotta pay taxes or follow your law because I renounce being part of govt” etc, and if his house is on fire he’d be a hypocrite to call the fire dept?”
And
“Hope he doesn’t use roads either, but always walk where he’s gonna go through the terrain…”
I hope he doesn’t use his brain.
YAY! Mine came true!
There’s um, there’s no bottom of the barrel with these guys, is there?
Oh my god, that poor woman. I can only imagine how awful she must be feeling right now. Isn’t there any way to stop what he’s doing?
Sovereign citizenship is also about getting out of speeding tickets by making the stopping officers pay them. I notice in the (quite recent, thank you) link provided by skiriki that the flim flam artist in question tried to get a court clerk made liable for his costs and fees.
I enjoy pretending that I have the power to alter reality, myself, but that stops when I put up my dice and take off my WIZZARD hat.
Oh, first he tried it with the court clerk, and then he tried it with the justice.
This Meads fellow has a bad sense of entitlement, doesn’t he.
WHAT DID THE SIMPLE DEFINITE ARTICLE EVER DO TO YOU, DENNIS LARRY MEADS??
And let’s not forget the fact that the Meads dude in that link was weaseling about his marriage and child support payments too.
You’re right. GOOD.
Scratch one type of bigot and you’ll usually find more varieties underneath. I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised by this point.
“What’s disturbing is that this obvious crank and low-grade crook apparently has followers”
No, kidding Shaenon. Why? Why would anyone… ughh. I feel like shaking myself like a wet dog, just to try to shake his words from my mind.
@Michael Søndberg Olsen: The best I can figure is, there’s a certain kind of person who likes thinking, AH HA I KNOW WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON YOU CAN’T FOOL ME.
Like that US House of Representatives clerk who grabbed the microphone and started yelling about Freemasons and the Constitution last week.
