There's another person who should "pay up": Al Sharpton.
His appalling Race Baiting and promotion of Tawana caused enormous damage, and yet he has profited handsomely from it over past 25 years.
There was a judgement against Sharpton and he has paid it in full.
With donations from supporters that STILL think Brawley was raped.
No...but it would be fitting for Brawley. Her exact words: "False accusations of rape should be punished with crucifixion." She considers what Brawley did on the same level as a child molester or a serial killer.
Didn't think so. Perhaps she should try it before she goes around wishing it on other people?
What Brawley did was about as despicable and loathsome as it gets, it ruined a man's life for a time, it set back race relations, it made one particular race baiter famous, and it effected women nation wide. Still, knowing more than one victim of rape, I would wish it on no one. It is a violent, vicious crime than takes years, years, from which to recover, if ever.
Prison would have served her well, the fine is good, though I doubt it will ever be paid in full.
But rape as a punishment? No. You can keep it... And anyone who suggests such a thing.
My wife has said several times that justice would be her actually BEING raped.
That's gruesome. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. She was really young when this all happened and she did some really stupid things as kids do. Nonetheless, she should pay for the rest of her life for ruining the lives of those men and even more so for avoiding her responsibility for so long. Yeah, fuck her....but not literally.
Years after she was order to pay, and thanks to The Post who found her working under a false name, her pay checks are finally being garnished.
It's about time.
?87 rape hoaxer Tawana Brawley begins paying defamation damages 25 years later - NYPOST.com
Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.
Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.
A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawleys wages as a nurse there.
She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.
Its a long time coming, said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash.
Every week, shell think of me, he told The Post. And every week, she can think about how she has a way out she can simply tell the truth.
Brawleys advisers in the infamous race-baiting case the Rev. Al Sharpton, and attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox have already paid, or are paying, their defamation debt. But Brawley, 41, had eluded punishment.
Shes now forced to pay Pagones $627 each month, possibly for the rest of her life. Under Virginia law, she can appeal the wage garnishment every six months.
Finally, shes paying something, said Pagones attorney, Gary Bolnick. Symbolically, I think its very important you cant just do this stuff without consequences.
Pagones filed for the garnishment with the circuit court in Surry County, Va., in January, a few weeks after The Post tracked down Brawley to tiny Hopewell, Va.
Before The Post came knocking, not even her own co-workers knew she was the teen behind the spectacular 1987 case.
I dont want to talk to anyone about that, Brawley growled after a Post reporter confronted her about her sordid past in December.
Employing aliases including Tawana Thompson and Tawana Gutierrez, she leads a relatively normal life by all appearances, residing in a neat brick apartment complex and working as a licensed practical nurse at The Laurels of Bon Air in Richmond.
She should be sentenced to serve a jail sentence equal to the maximum time Pagones could have been sentenced to if he had been convicted.
"Reverand" Al Sharpton should have also been sentenced that way. He should be forced to voice an admittance to the lies he told every time he opens his mouth in public
I pretty much agree except that she was a 15 year old kid when all this happened. Ever think she was coerced into this by someone? Maybe her parents? Honestly, I have no clue as to the truth, but it should make you think. Did she really come up with the idea all on her own?

Some people deserve it. To her, Brawley tops the list.
My wife has felt this way as long as she can remember: anyone making a false accusation of rape deserves to be raped.

Sadly, if mean-spiritedness and anger were removed from Jack-Axle, he'd be nothing but an empty husk.
