@AlanBra15552677 "Freeze" response is based on theory of "tonic immobility" attributed to animal predator defense.The theory has been co-opted by pseudo-neuro biologists who write papers for radical feminist groups interested in ensuring males accused of SA have no defense.https://t.co/l46NPjgDk3

AUSTRALIA: New NSW legislation cripples falsely accused defense: "The changes to existing NSW laws ensure a victim of a sexual activity that "does not say or do anything to communicate consent" will be evidence of non-consent." #FalseAllegations #Consent

[False Allegations Defense Network @FA_DefenseNet]

The so-called "freeze" response is often the go-to for false accusers who willingly participated in the sexual encounter but later "changed their minds" due to the need to cover up or to get revenge. More NSW courts will accept this lie, leaving the accused with no other defence.

[False Allegations Defense Network @FA_DefenseNet]

"...grey areas that had arisen in sexual offence trials about whether an accused's belief that consent existed was actually reasonable, and about how to recognise the common "freeze" response, where a person freezes in fear and cannot communicate their lack of consent."

@NeubergerLaw It should be law for the media to report when such acquittals occur. And to edit original articles announcing charges with acquittal updates.

[False Allegations Defense Network @FA_DefenseNet]

Congratulations @NeubergerLaw for rescuing Dr. Amir Haydarian from a lifetime of untold misery.

The Crown conceded there were serious concerns with the credibility of the main complainant.

All 15 counts were withdrawn. 👏
