Yep.
I’m sure we know men who were accused of something we, viscerally, kniw they are not capable of doing, by the nature of their character and temperment.
You then find out later not a damned thing came of the accusation but, the guy is fk’d for years, for the false accusation alone.
Been there. not a damned thing you can do about it, and once it's out there, it never <i>really</i> goes away. My ex is <i>really</i> lucky I'm not the raving lunatic she tried to claim I was. If so, she wouldn't be wasting oxygen.
AND the woman who lied about my friend didn't get in trouble but was sent for 'counseling.' AND my buddy who was falsely accused was sent to an 'anger management class!' For not 'breaking her hip.'
No wonder people go postal.
