Lousy story.
At least he is free and his name is cleared.
What a ridiculous point. He lost years of his life. Not only should she be paying him compensation for her horrific lies, she should also be doing time herself. Every female that falsely accuses a man of rape does irreparable harm to those who have genuinely been a victim of such crimes.
Damned right. There are many innocent men in prison or walking around with the label of being a sexual offender because of pending divorces, vindictive exzes, step daughters etc. It hurts the real victims of abuse/assault. Many of the falsely accused are indigent and a PD as an attorney is sure to result in a conviction, while the prosecutors vigorously go for a conviction instead of the truth on these matters so they can look tough on these crimes and move up the ladder.
False accusations should be prosecuted just as rigorously if found to be the case during the judicial process/trial etc..But unfortunately, after the fact and the
victim recants, you can't scare them from recanting with very harsh sentences as this will result in most of the false accusers being too afraid to finally tell the truth.
Sadly, this is a serious problem with many crimes, and the states attorney's more interested in a conviction, then the actual truth.
