Sex video clears men accused of rape

The hookup got hot and wild, and one of the two men whipped out his cellphone to shoot a video of the room-to-room romp with the woman they'd just met that night.
The sex video may have been the only thing that saved the two from prison.
The woman accused them of rape. The video showed otherwise, police and prosecutors said. What happened that night led to the vicious beating of one of the men two days later.
Last Friday, a Sacramento Superior Court jury convicted Jasmine Levanna Kurre of felony assault likely to produce great bodily injury and of another count of felony battery.
Jurors acquitted Kurre of the misdemeanor filing of a false police report and of another felony count of robbing the beating victim of his cellphone.
Unfortunately for Kurre, 27, the man's friend shot the video, showing her laughing and carrying on with the two alleged rapists hence, the lack of charges against them and the lodging of the misdemeanor false-report accusation.
"This is great stuff," Citrus Heights Police Detective Ron Pfleger told the man who shot the video, according to a transcript of his interview five days after the Feb. 17, 2011, beating of his friend, outside the assault victim's apartment. "This is exactly what you guys are hoping for."
Had it not been for the video, the chances were likely that Kurre's rape accusation against the two men would have been given more credibility by police and prosecutors.
Instead, it turned the tables on Kurre, who now is looking at the possibility of four years behind bars.
"The case was complicated and emotionally charged," Deputy District Attorney Erin Blake said in a statement. "The jury worked hard, and ultimately justice was served."
Assistant Public Defender Crystal Lamb declined to comment on the case, and Kurre, who was remanded into custody, turned down an interview at the downtown jail.
According to transcripts of police interviews with the participants, the two men met a girlfriend of Kurre's on Jan. 20, 2011, at a Citrus Heights club called Liquid. The Bee is not identifying the two men because the attackers remain at large.
That night, one of the men exchanged phone numbers with Kurre's girlfriend, and a few weeks later they all agreed to go out.
They met at the second man's apartment on Feb. 15, 2011, went out to the Glass Turtle in Roseville, then returned to his place.
The first man told police that Kurre "ended up kissing me," before they ended up having sex in the bathroom. It was then that he made the video.
They went upstairs to a bedroom for more sex-on-tape. Later, Kurre turned her affections on the other man and went to a bedroom with him, according to the first man. He said she then bounced back to him and they spent the night together.
There didn't appear to be any animosity among the parties when they woke up in the morning, according to the transcripts.
A day later, the second man said Kurre called him because she forgot her driver's license in his apartment, as well as a hair extension that came off. She said she'd be by at 6 p.m. to pick them up. When she showed up, he met her outside with her driver's license and hair, according to the transcripts.
He told police that Kurre stood with her arms folded when he walked toward her. Somebody grabbed him from behind and somebody else punched him. "Then the guy that was holding me hits me and then they continued to hit me and hit me."
It lasted five to seven minutes, he said, estimating that he absorbed 55 to 60 punches and kicks and wound up with fractured ribs and a bad bruise behind is ear.
"You think you can rape my girl?" one of the attackers screamed, the victim told police.
"I didn't rape your girl," he said he told the man.
He called police.
She went to police the next day and offered her version of what happened in the apartment.
At first, "We went into (his) house and everyone was just chit-chatting," Kurre said, "and I was talking about my boyfriend, and I was talking about him and his work and everything."
He "made us drinks, and we first took a shot, and then he made us these pink drinks," she said.
Then, "I was getting bored," and the two men "took pictures of the women, fully clothed, "because me and (her girlfriend) looked really cute."
Kurre said they went to the Glass Turtle and stayed there about five minutes before they returned to the apartment, "when all the bad stuff started happening."
She said she went to the bathroom to use it when one of the men broke in and raped her. She said the man who lived in the house also raped her.
But after reviewing the video, the authorities didn't believe her.
She now is scheduled to be sentenced July 25 by Judge Steve White.
This is exactly why you don't wife up club rats and hoes. Ma was at the club with her 'homegirl' and they went home with two guys and she ended up having sex with 2 strangers that night. I guess she 'regretted it' later and had her boyfriend beat up the guy she willingly hooked up with by telling him he raped her. Then she went to file false rape charges on this guy. Thank God for technology eh? Guy got off because he recorded the encounter. This also serves as a warning to guys on the other side of the equation who are doing the pick-up thing. You see how easily a situation can flip? Although the percentage may not be high, if you DO get caught up in a situation like this, it will throw your life in a ringer. Be careful out there.

why falsely get some dude's hopes up?exactly. that's what i meant by "the will smith factor". meaning when a chick flakes or says she's too busy or whatever and you get that weird feeling like something isn't right, always ask yourself "would she have been too busy for ______(insert popular celeb here)?"lol that negro is straight simping. Funny how she was busy for the flower bringer, but rushed out with shaq... but she was acting like she was all down to go out with him. "OH I'd LOVE to go out with you." He calls later, "Well, I'm busy... sorry, can we reschedule?" That same day, millionaire man calls and it's, "I'll be ready in 5 minutes!"
That's why we say if these broads do that flaking, you better keep it pushing. After she gets hit and quit by Shaq and a few other rich stars and gets to complaining about how men are dogs, then maybe she'll spend a little time with the average joes.
Been doing a lot of thinking after my situation and it really just hit me yesterday.
"These hoes are not going anywhere"

.The hardest thing to fight when it comes to chasing women is boredom. Believe me brehs I've been there. You know that you have no business texting a chick, or calling, or trying to make plans because you already put yabid in...but theres nothing on TV, the coli is having an offday, your friends have no motives and youre just bored as hell at home running through your phone.
"Hmmm, I havent spoke to X in a while. Let me say whats up? Nah I really shouldnt..."
But then like a fool you talk yourself into it on some, "fukk it...if she doesnt reply then fukk her. What i got to lose anyways?"
And then you regret it an hour later when you see no reply.
Sometimes you have to look at what youre doing when it comes to actions related to women and think. USE YOUR BRAIN AND THINK.
The reason i'm saying all this is that whether you believe it or not...a girl WILL hit you up if she is interested. I'm not even talking about sending a text saying "Hey" and then doing nothing to keep the convo going. I mean this girl is saying good morning to you, calling your phone unsolicitedly, trying to make plans and asking you when you'll be seeing each other. Don't demean yourself by making yourself so accessible and focusing your attention on her. In the words of @Turbulent, once you put your bid in...let them choose.
I know its been said but I just have a couple situations where this has come to light in both positive and negative ways lately. Figured I should reiterate it.

works like a charm so even if im tempted i cant. though i probably dont need to anymore since i have more self control now, and i get that random text from them a month later "how ya been havent seen ya in awhile" and just delete and ignore iti honestly just delete numbers once i find out theyre not interestedworks like a charm so even if im tempted i cant. though i probably dont need to anymore since i have more self control now, and i get that random text from them a month later "how ya been havent seen ya in awhile" and just delete and ignore it
and got put in the bushes.
haha I even deleted the number but my memory is kinda photographic so I memorize peoples numbers with once glance really. Been doing a lot of thinking after my situation and it really just hit me yesterday.
"These hoes are not going anywhere"

give her a child,
buy her things and take her out,
make her feel "wanted"
commit to her before she gets too old 


Sometimes it isnt even about them not being interested though fam. Sometimes you can be a little bit too zealous and if the girl is immature she'll look at it as "thirst" and then youre lowered on the depth chart. This happened with me recently after bagging a Nigerian chick that I menttioned in this thread earlier.
My girlfriend and I broke up cause she switched schools so I was getting back in the game. I bagged like 4 chicks in one week. This one right here was feeling me ...good ass conversations and such but then one conversation I kept it a little too real (discussing why I dont club). After that I think she thought I was too serious..maybe figured I might be boring so she wasnt giving me as much play. I got frustrated and addressed it...and got put in the bushes.
The thing that sucks was literally 2 days after I bagged it she moved to Calgary just for the summer. Like a fool my roster was depleted so during rebuilding process and got a little too thirsty with it (in the eyes of a female). I had nobody to talk to and what not so I'd be texting this girl like once or twice a week when I KNEW I would be better off not contacting her til she hollaed after the initial couple convos. I knew better...but them friday nights had me bored as fukk.haha I even deleted the number but my memory is kinda photographic so I memorize peoples numbers with once glance really.
Cause lord knows if she was still in my hometown and we linked up in person she woulda been on my dikk. It never fails.
