	Tawana Brawley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tawana Brawley (born 1972?), known after her notoriety subsided as Maryam Muhammad, was an African-American 15-year-old who created a national stir when she claimed she was raped by six white men, some of them police officers, on November 28, 1987 in the village of Wappingers Falls, New York.
		None of her accusations were ever substantiated, and her attorneys and another advocate for her case were successfully sued for defamation of an alleged perpetrator.
		The motive Brawley may have had for faking the attack is not known for sure, since Brawley maintains she did not invent the story, as do many supporters.

	The Tawana Brawley Hoax
		According to Tawana, she was abducted by several white men shortly after she got off the bus; the men, one of whom wore a badge, took her to a wooded area and sexually abused her over a period of several days.
		The Tawana Brawley case was quickly seized upon by a trio of fl activists who viewed it as a means by which to demonstrate that the police and judicial system were racist and corrupt.
		One hypothesis was that since Tawana had already been grounded on the day she skipped school to visit her ex-boyfriend, she had made up the story of her abduction in order to avoid further punishment.

	Court TV Legal Documents: Grand Jury Report on Tawana Brawley Investigation, Part 1
		Tawana Brawley had lived with her mother until she was approximately six months of age, when both she and her mother moved to Monticello to live with Juanita and Matthew Strong, Glenda Brawley's sister and brother-in-law.
		Brawley told the social worker she was having difficulty talking because her throat hurt, but she did manage to answer several questions regarding her family and school by nodding and speaking in a very soft voice.
		The core of Tawana Brawley's allegation is that she was abducted on Tuesday, November 24, taken to a wooded area, and repeatedly sexually assaulted by at least three men, at least one of whom was a "white cop." To the knowledge of the Grand Jury, she has never named her alleged attackers.

	Letter from Camp Tawana by Brian Mahoney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tawana Brawley had been missing for almost four days when she was found, and her family said that she had been abducted and gang-raped by white police officers.
		Tawana appeared on the six o'clock news, huddled on the sofa of her family's home, head cradled in her mother's lap-mute, unresponsive to the reporter's questions.
		For the key component to the Brawley affair seemed to be not that Tawana or her advisors had lied, or the spectre of rape itself, but the widely held belief in the fl community that the story was true-had to be true-even after the release of the grand jury report, even ten years later.

		Brawley, a 15 year old at the time of the incident, did not testify before a grand jury in 1988 and her story, apparently concocted to explain her absence to her mother and stepfather, was established as a fabrication.
		Brawley's claims were mirrored in the cases of Charles Stuart in Boston and Susan Smith in South Carolina.
		Brawley elicited sympathy not only from among nationalists at the time of her alleged attack, but no doubt as well from among fl people and others outraged over the nature of the crime.

		Tawana had claimed that she had been repeatedly raped and sodomized by six burly white men over a four-day period and yet not a single sperm cell was found in her vagina and not a single Caucasian pubic hair was found on her body or clothing.
		Tawana’s claim to have been the victim of repeated violent anal rape by six big men fell flat when a medical examination revealed that her anus was perfectly intact, without the slightest abrasion.
		Tawana was, however, covered with abundant debris that perfectly matched debris from an apartment that the Brawley clan had recently vacated: an apartment to which Tawana still had a key.
