This is already infuriating enough, since we know Emily isn’t a criminal sexual predator. One big problem in society makes Addison’s scheme all the creepier: when women accuse people of any type of assault or sexual misconduct, their motives are usually questioned. So-called men’s rights activists love to claim widespread false sexual accusations are ruining lives across the world. They think one of the alleged "many reasons" women report rape is to ruin someone’s reputation or get back at them for a perceived slight.

They believe this despite the fact only 2 to 10% of rape reports are false, according to both the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and the National District Attorney’s Association. Plus, only 31% of assaults are even reported, RAINN reports.

All of this shows why Addison’s manipulation is so unsettling to see on TV. PLL just showed its audience of over 1 million people sometimes young women do claim they’re victims of predatory behavior just to ruin someone else’s life. If the teen's false allegations of teacher sexual misconduct ended up making it to the principal, imagine how much harder it would be for the administration to believe an actual victim in the future.
