'Never happened': 26 years later, two men to be cleared of rape as accuser recants story


Before the end of the month, police arrested two of the men she had named — Gregory Counts, then 19, and VanDyke Perry, then 21. Semen recovered from the woman, identified in court records as “the complainant,” did not belong to the accused. The prosecution’s case relied solely on her testimony, which was inconsistent, court records show. Still, in 1992, a jury convicted Counts and Perry on all counts except for the weapons charges. “It is every district attorney’s nightmare that any innocent man or woman would go to jail.”On Monday afternoon, the men will finally get justice.
