Rape, or role-playing gone wrong?

First reported as a kidnapping and rape, the story of David Jansen and his accuser now reads like bad fiction.

Even if Nancy Grace, Lifetime and Cinemax got together to collaborate on a midnight movie, chances are even it wouldn’t as sensational, melodramatic or jam-packed with easy moralism as the story of Snellville man David Jansen and the unidentified woman who claims he abducted and raped her.

AJCers Christian Boone and Megan Matteuci should get agents as their most recent update has most of the elements of a film treatment.

It’s wrong to be this glib about something so awful, but it really does sound like bad fiction.
