Consensual Confusion

[XLFD]

The #MeToo Movement doesn't seem to have reached the Mason County Sheriff's Department (MCSO)

For how could you explain the following (as related in the MCP): 

1) A woman calls 911 reporting that she had been sexually assaulted and abducted by a local man.  Sheriff Kim Cole is quoted as saying:  “This woman was very distraught when she called 911 and she told the dispatcher that she was in the vehicle with her assailant and that she had been drugged, abducted and raped..."

2) Seven different units respond from both Mason and Manistee Counties, including the state police.  When the car is pulled over, the woman runs over to the deputy apparently very distraught about what happened.

3)  The sheriff concludes:  “All evidence shows that this was a consensual situation, however, the man was on parole and smoking marijuana is a violation of the terms of his parole, therefore he was arrested.”

When you call 911 and claim to have been abducted and raped, then jump out of the car your kidnapper/rapist is driving, how is that any sign that the encounter wasn't as portrayed by the emergency call?  Yet Sheriff Cole says with some degree of certainty:  “The woman had drove over to Mason County and met the man in his apartment.  They then drove out to an area near Countyline and Custer roads in Free Soil Township, perhaps even in Manistee County. They had what appears to have been consensual sex and afterwards, apparently smoked a joint of marijuana.”

Where are the elements of consensual sex?  Am I missing something?

And if she recanted her allegations in full and admitted it was all just a make-believe story, then why don't they indicate that and why aren't they arresting her for intentionally making a false report of a crime and charging her with a felony for wasting all those police resources?

Sheriff Cole and other responding units have apparently made some sort of judgment perhaps based on their own misogynistic beliefs that this woman consented to coming to Mason County, maybe consented to accompany the man to a remote area of the county, and ergo implicitly assented to carnal relations with the man. 

To me the parolee's, whose identification is being withheld for some unknown reason, actions seem to be consistent with somebody who would commit sexual assault.  Entice a woman with on-line inducements to come over to Mason County, then take her on a drive to a remote area they still haven't pinpointed the location of.  Her car was left back in Ludington, she didn't know where they were at, and he was in total control of the situation.  

Why isn't the woman's account made in a frantic call to 911 being taken seriously?

Today another enigma courtesy of the MCP once again.  "A 72-year-old man was accidentally shot in the abdomen Saturday afternoon in the 11,300 of North Benson Road, near the Mason-Manistee counties line. Emergency personnel were called to the scene about 2:30 p.m. AeroMed was dispatched and landed near the scene. The man was then transported by helicopter to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City.
Responding agencies included Michigan State Police, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, Free Soil/Meade Fire Department, Grant Township Fire Department, and Life EMS.
More information will be posted when it becomes available. MSP was investigating."

My first thought in synthesizing this information.  The MSP, without any post in Mason County, is conducting an investigation of a shooting in Eden Township without any other information given out.  What is one to speculate on other than this was a shooting involving a MCSO deputy?  It may not have been, but ten hours later there still isn't anything else released.  This is the usual secret squirrel modus operandi our sheriff's department likes using.

It could be that the woman is a bit crazy. Anyone stupid enough get in a car and drive to a remote area with someone they just met has a whole lot of scrambled brain cells. Sometimes weed will make people very paranoid and she may have had an anxiety attack. Until all of the details are released this does not make much sense. MC press should have done a better job of reporting instead of leaving their readers hanging while they try to figure out what is going on. Also the Sheriff should check with MC Press to make sure that what they told them was accurately reported. To much whacky tobaccy.
