This sort of thing makes it obvious to me that a non-trivial percentage of rape accusations are the result of a toxic mixture of attention whoring, repressed sexual fantasies, and diagnosable mental illness.

Exactly, which is why I hope this blows up. The Duke Lacrosse case wasn't enough to open middle America's eyes to the rape lies we've been fed. The SPWL crowd didn't care. But this guy is one of their own.
If this comes out as false and he successfully sues, from there on in every time a guy gets falsely accused he'll be able to say "But look at what happened to Conor" and people will stop and think. He'll become a symbol.
This is the kind of accusation that inadvertently causes social change and, IMO, will be more effective than all the blogs with stats about false rape charges. If it's false, that is.
