Haha you're telling me, I'm also a victim of a physical assault where the assailant told all of my friends immediately after the incident that it was I who assaulted her. Lost a lot of friends over that one and got called a future rapist by people who had never even met me. It's forever in the back of my head that some of my remaining friends still secretly believe I did it. All because I had the courtesy to not immediately tell people about what she had done. Learned my lesson there. The first to report has the upper hand :)
