Deleted messages uncovers fake rape claim
Having specialised in the UK for many years dealing with deleted data and having published many papers on 'deleted content', 'deleted text messages', 'deleted data mobiles' and 'deleted data may not amount to possession' when this subject raises its head it is worth making a record of it for later discussion.
There are many aspects about deleted data that require to be considered in detail before making an allegation (Prosecution/Defence, Plaintiff/Respondent etc) and simply finding deleted data and saying well it is here let's use it is not always a good idea.
The details of an Australian criminal case reported recently involving recovered deleted data showed the content of a text message imported an entirely different context about an allegation of rape.

Rape charges dropped after deleted messages recovered from iPhone
A MAN'S business and reputation are tainted, a young woman's HSC and mental health are in tatters and prosecutors have been ordered to pay more than $30,000 in legal costs for a bungled rape investigation on Sydney's northern beaches.

This case shows an example where deleted data can be effective. Past cases I dealt with are illustrative of what can be found in deleted data such as a daughter who accused her father of rape when in fact she didn't want to admit to having sexual relations with a boyfriend her parents knew nothing about. Or the case of a man's body that was found where a family stated they had never visited them, only to find a deleted photo of the man in their living room.
