A good girl does not go alone in the hotel room of a man in the heart of the night...only prostitutes do that! She does not even know him well...she met him in a club...if she has really been raped...she is a willing victim or she deserved that!

This is another girl with her hand out, she shouldn't have been at a bar unless she was looking to find a victim. Let's hope she presses charges!!! Maybe Obama will have the brains to pull out the $669 million he promised in 2010, it's just going to end up in corrupt people's pockets anyway, it's not like it's going to go to the people it's intended to.

why is it always front page news when an american gets mixed up with a filipina? philippine newspapers are always full of stories about fathers making daughters into sex slaves, preteens prostituting in cemeteries, neighbors raping neighbors and on and on and on. you get one american in the news, american and not korean, japanese, filipino, nigerian, and even malacanang gets in on the act. everyone sees $$$ right away and everyone wants in on it....how pathetic. kurakot nation

This student has not been raped. She cooperated with the US Marine to make things happen in the hotel in lieu of US$.

LOL. Gabriela cries rape again? What else is new? The source of this accusation, Gabriela, is a good indicator this is just another radical anti-American feminist publicity stunt and no reasonable or intelligent person should take these accusations seriously.

It is a sick joke, and the worst part about these phony rape victim stories is that it discredits and demeans real victims of rape and abuse. Studies in the US find that most rape accusations are false, and almost all college girl rape accusations are found to be false. Not only are the accusations false, but the handling of false accusations gives a good indicator of the efficiency and credibility of security services. ie: campus police with the highest percentage of rape accusations deemed false, are found to have lowest crime rates.

Those security forces with high numbers of unsuccessful rape prosecutions are found to have the highest crime levels and lowest overall quality of security services. Think about this for a moment, it makes sense.

If 9 out of 10 rape accusations are false, police waste their time on false accusations, and have no time for the real cases, who they will tend to disbelieve anyway, due to the preponderance of false accusations. If a rape accusation were made by a credible police force, it would tend to be a lot more believable.

An accusation by Gabriela is just a sick joke, because we all know its real agenda is a feminazi-style propaganda war against America, and men, especially American men. When one of these stories arise I always think about the fine reputation that Filipina women enjoy all over the world, and how Gabriela supporters shame them.

Logically, these accusations make no sense, as a typical marine or American enjoys earnings 10 times the Filipino wages, and it is absurd to take criminal risks for rape when fine women are available at insignificant risk/cost. It is the romantic, but undemanding nature of Filipina's that foreign men find attractive (in addition to good looks). The US marines would also be highly interested in mental lapses or disorders of one of their members, as they pride themselves as an elite and highly disciplined unit.

The odds of Gabriela crying rape being true are worse than the odds of Hatton defeating Pacquiao. Women of low character, like Gabriela, use the idea of 'rape' like a club to lash out at men, and to ignite hatreds of zenophobic supporters. These stories are nothing more than propaganda tools and free political advertising.

Men and women of reason should only concern ourselves with the very few cases which are true, and not continue to fuel the counter-productive hysteria of Gabriela propagandists and extortionists.

too much publicity about rape. but when the complainant recants for some reasons, it's a total waste.

It's nonsense. Shame on these girls claiming they are raped. This is all screwed up. How could this guy rape her in a hotel; she knows better she's 22 years old. She should know better not to go w/ any male to a hotel. I think she wants to have sex and want something else but since she didn't get what she wanted, she is calling it rape. This guy didn't drag her to the hotel I know she went with him on her own free well. That what these girls get when they are party animals, poor parent though because they are working hard for their children and look what they're doing, going out w/ men and accusing guys of raping them. I also think that Nicole wasn't raped she wanted it. If an American citizen raped her why would she opt to come to the US. Shame on her.
