I told my wife that if one kept accusing a poor guy of raping them, he might as well get it over and rape them....she started telling all her friends I had raped her.....

That would unfortunately discourage many rape victims from pressing charges.

So you are saying that female rape victims have more rights than male rape victims?

If the accuser has no evidence whatsoever then the charge should not even be made. According to our law the accused is innocent until PROVEN guilty. This is why it is so critically important to report the rape instantly and collect all and any evidence that may exist.

The very accusation of rape, even with no evidence whatsoever, can destroy a man's life all but instantly. He has been raped as surely, and as brutally, as any other rape victim. How do we protect ourselves and our sons from being destroyed by a false accusation if there is no penalty for making the false accusation?

It is important that false accusers pay the same penalty for any crime they falsely accuse others of.

No, I didn’t say that.

Do you disagree with my written comment?

Absolutely. It never seems to occur to leftists how much damage they do to their own causes. Jussie Smolette comes to mind, not to mention constant accusations of ‘racism’.

No, I didn’t say that.

So how do we protect male victims of false claims? How do we discourage people from making false accusations of rape? I see only one fair way. Make the accuser serve the sentence.

Anything else (Unless you can come up with another method that works) is anti-man and unfair.

Do you disagree with my written comment?

Actually I think I do. Why would a woman who had a valid claim and the evidence to establish that claim not make the report. I mean at the every least she'll have evidence that they had sex. A false accuser has no evidence at all.

Now this will put pressure on the rape victim to report the crime instantly, but that pressure should already be on any victim of a crime.

In principle, I don’t have a problem with the equal sentencing you’re recommending. Hell, it should also be applied to dishonest prosecutors and judges.

>> Now this will put pressure on the rape victim to report the crime instantly

I agree with the necessity of reporting rape situations sooner than later — at least for adults. But “instantly” is not realistic. There must be some time allowance. Statistical data can help to define the reasonable windows for reporting the various forms of the crime.
