As usual she’ll be given a slap on the wrist,when her alleged attacker would have been sent to the slammer. Such accusations happen all too frequently without substantiation. Require accusers to submit to a lie detector test as a disincentive to lie as standard procedure.
“Such accusations happen all too frequently without substantiation.”
Yep. And I’ve heard/read too many reports of a guy being exonerated for a rape charge after losing a decade of his life behind bars. Any consequences for the girls? I never hear of any.
Next time I see a female flag me down on the road because she needs help, I won’t bother. All I’ll do is take note of the mile marker and call 911.
It is highly politically incorrect to even consider the possibility that a sexual assault accusation is made up. Since women were often routinely disbelieved in the past, we must make up for it today by believing every accusation.
This is the same attitude that led to the appalling miscarriages of justice back in the 80s involving the daycare sex abuse cases. People picketed the courtrooms with signs saying, “Believe the children!” Belief became a statement of goodness for the believer rather than a considered judgment.
Some of those falsely accused and convicted in these cases have just recently gotten out of jail.
