I don’t know whether the allegations are true or not at this point. It could be a possible motive if the woman believed it, especially if she experienced abuse herself and was struggling with mental health issues.
I can't help but think some of the negative things put forth in the article, backed by a 'FBI' recording could be biased. I mean, the FBI were looking for negative things and who knows, they might have fabricated evidence. I don't think that is beyond their type of behaviour. Especially given the time period when corruptions were lesser checked than nowadays.
Who knows about the woman or what happened there though? It seems to be Garrow the biographer that is making the claim about that incident?
The article says:
"Given that context — and given Garrow's lack of access to the tapes themselves, in addition to the fact that the Standpoint article has not yet been published — Garrow's claims raise questions about the accuracy of the evidence and the motives of the FBI agents who created the documents. In a separate article describing the magazine's rationale for publishing the story, Standpoint's acting editor, Michael Mosbacher, said Garrow's work was previously rejected by The Guardian, The Atlantic, and The Washington Post."The article mentions that the basis for the claim of King witnessing the incident with the (alleged) poor woman, is a memo accompanying these tapes.
Also, the article says that the FBI agents did not interfere with the alleged rape (listening to it as it happened)? So I guess they were just listening to it and not doing anything? I mean, that would be disturbing if true.
