Bellevue police chief wants woman who falsely accused him of rape to be held accountable.

KING 5's Elisa Hahn reports

Of course the woman's face won't be shown.

[JasonT]

A woman who falsely accuses a man of rape should be charged as if she had raped someone.

[trez]

They show the pic of accused, assumed innocent men but not of this criminal? Double standard.

[jayTerry]

I dislike this video because the liar wasn't named . Protecting the criminal.

[robertortiz]

So are we going to treat women like adults and hold her accountable? Or are we going to treat women like children? lol

[eyeswideopen]

Where is the me too movement??? Why are these woman not given 20 years?? This is disgraceful. I hope she gets what she deserves

[stonejones]

It happened to me.
The chick who falsely accused me was my girlfriend for over 2 1/2 years. She was 21, I was 23, and it was in the mid 90s. We probably had sex
750-1000 times in those 2 1/2 years. The only thing I did was break up with her to get back with my ex gf. She charged me with rape and assault & battery. She even came complete with bruises and bite marks. I had a $50, 000 bail. This hung over my head for 10 months, then a week before trial the judge dismissed the case due to insufficient evidence.
14- a month short of 15 years later she finally came clean and told the truth, admitting that she made it all up. It ruined my life. To this day it continues to ruin my life.

First I sue her for everything she owned . Then I arrest her

Her name: Idunn Schneider
Age: 45
Race: Asian

Idunn Schneider is a Washington state woman charged with falsifying documents after she falsely accused Bellevue, Washington Police Chief Steve Mylett of sexual assault.
King County prosecutors charged Schneider, 45, with two counts of tampering with physical evidence and two counts of malicious prosecution, according to court documents.
The charges come after Schneider falsely accused Mylett of sexual assault. Police said Schneider had falsified emails and forensic evidence against Mylett in a 56-page report they released after a two-month investigation into the charges.
Schneider also accused former police officer John Kivlin of assaulting her, KING reports. Kivlin said the extramarital affair was consensual.
Kivlin spent 49 days in jail and resigned from the police department while the charges were investigated. Police determined that Schneider falsified evidence against Kivlin as well and doubts were raised about her allegations.
Investigators said Schneider previously admitted to making other false rape allegations in 2009 and 2010.

They need to introduce a false accusation registry. The minimum punishment should be a mandatory lawsuit for damages to reputation and defamation of character, along with being registered as a false accuser. At the very most, they should get the exact same prison sentence the accused would have got, if they were found guilty. That will make these women who lie think twice before ruining a mans life.

[dimitriharvey]

I don't see how woman live with themselves of lying about a crime of something so traumatizing

[Terrell]

Since we know this woman is a liar, show her face, and state her full legal name. People who would tell such a vicious lie that can get a man killed, shouldn't be allowed to remain anonymous. This type of B.S. is why the mainstream media is dying. Integrity requires accountability even when applying it goes against the social narratives, or goes against people you're inclined to sympathize with.

[mohammadwasilliterate]

Women know its a weapon without consequences, they can sling the accusation and walk if it fails.

[Chrisiamtheluciddream]

I seriously cannot see how younger men can trust women in this day and age. I feel so badly for you younger guys out there trying to make your way through the world with hopes of a family only to deal with a dating pool filled with the garbage it is filled with now a days.

[smilertoo]

If he wasnt a police chief they wouldnt have bothered forensically examining the emails, they'd have jailed him.

[waynepedersen]

False accusations won’t stop until these accusers are in jail for a substantial period of time. We want only truthful charges brought forward.

[littlewingssilentweapon]

Literally the Me Too movement right now --> randomly accusing men of rape.

[taekwondomaster]

I hope he sues her for every single penny. He deserves at least $200, 000

[st.francisanddr.pepper]

All false accusers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. This woman should be so ashamed.

I am so sorry this happened to you Sir. I was falsely accused (kind of) by a woman's phone call to 9-1-1. When the police arrived, she tried to tell them she was crazy but the police engineered a plan regardless of what she said to frame me. Thankfully, I was not convicted although I forced the matter to trial to clear my name. It was tough. It still is all these years later. A deputy police chief, a man I had never known, came forward against his own chief and the officers involved and blew the whistle in my favor--what a heroic man. Best of luck going forward. Although you will never be the same, you will be better as you are seeing already.
