Accusations of sexual assault that are admitted/proven to be knowingly false, like similar accusations for other types of crime, seem to be much smaller in number than accusations that are admitted/proven to be true or dismissed/withdrawn for other reasons. Any accusation admitted/proven to be knowingly false should be treated as an offence and dealt with properly through punishment and education without fear or favour. The same should happen re any accusation admitted/proven to be true.

There should be jail time for the false accusers.

Once again we see the other side of the He said --- She said --- non-proven allegations. People lie or are mistaken for all kinds of reasons, proof or it is crapola.

expel them.

Let me call my thought the 'reciprocating' rule. If a girl lies and charges a boy with rape, she should face the same penalties as he would have face. Not one second of prison time less.

Yes, there are plenty of cases of he-said/she-said, and those will just fade away. But using the same 'preponderance of the evidence', if the accuser can be proven to make false claims, the accuser is the one who should go to prison. And the accused should be free to file civil cases as well (OJ Simpson for example).

this shows why human nature can be such a negative thing, if something like that can happen now, anything will be possible post SHTF.

Salem witch trials comes to mind but then again, false accusations goes all the way back to biblical times, there a reason to why it’s one of the commandments “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” bearing false witness has always been a weapon in man’s and women’s arsenal of destruction and that’s never going to change.

 

[lonewolf]

anyone can say anything about someone else, its whether they can back up the accusations with actual proof that makes the difference. plenty of men have been accused of rape without any shred of proof.
this nasty side of human nature is why I prefer to have nothing to do with other people and to spend as much time as I can alone.

Well, best hope that she's not someone's relative, that she doesn't have a bright future in sport ahead of her, that she's apparently never done anything like this before, or that she's under the wrong judge, because then she'll get little or no jail time for a false accusation of rape or sexual assault.

Or you could be living in a country where they charge rape victims with adultery and throw them in jail or stone them...

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Yes, the elite get away with a lot of wrong doing. It’s not right... but false accusations are not cool either.

Absolutely, criminalising victims and/or lionising or at least going easy on perpetrators are awful behaviours. I'm glad we agree on something

Everyone who's commented so far, myself included, has said that they should be treated very seriously and punished. No-one has said - and I doubt that anyone would say - that false accusations are cool.

We probably agree on a lot more than you think.
