Games have caused an increase in rape, says actual, real psychiatrist
Dr. Carole Lieberman has a Wikipedia page and everything

Just before being identified as a real person, Lieberman allegedly contributed her thoughts to a Fox News piece titled "Is Bulletstorm the Worst Video Game in the World?" In the article, which is amazingly also real, the actual, board certified psychiatrist is quoted as saying, "The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games."

Fox News did not cite any evidence to back up Lieberman's quoted claim that rape has increased, or that videogames have caused the alleged increase. There's no indication as to why the quote is even in the article.

Rape is up 84 percent in Brooklyn South, for example, and 64.7 percent in Queens North.
