Quote:Right, but he specifically stated cleared. Also, how do you prove it was totally false short of a confession? Couldn't the woman always fall back on "well, I felt I was raped" to avoid any repercussions?

 

I'm all for due process and burden of proof before punising an accusor. Where is this demand for due process when punishing (expelling, firing, etc.) the accused, though?

So you want to put a rape victim on trial, after her attacker goes free, because there was a lack of evidence to convict?  


You know what else is a terrible crime?  Rape.  And women shouldn't have to fear facing a trial because her attacker is found not guilty.  

 

 

Quote:So women shouldn't be charged for false rape allegations?

 

How do you determine 'false' rape allegations?  Just because someone is found not guilty, doesn't mean they're innocent.  


 

 

Quote:So let them run around just willy nilly crying rape? There has to be some amount of self accountability here.

 

So make women fear prosecution for reporting their rape, and put other women in danger of being attacked?
