Technology can be a useful tool for the rape hoaxer, but inevitably it leads to the hoaxer’s downfall.

(And if she subsequently decides to post amateur porn online, well…) A once-respected magazine can put a rape hoaxer in the headlines, but then a handful of bloggers questioning the story can bring it all crashing down.
