I was just reading this-

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahom...ving-seven-months-jail-rape-didnt-commit.html

I feel bad for the guy. Is this what it means to have a relationship these days? Your relationship doesn't work out for some reason and BAM!, you're in jail because of that one time you made love to your girlfriend?

I believe that in such cases, the women should be given the same sentence that the man would have been given, if the accusations were true.

In your opinion, what punishment should be given to the women who make false rape accusations?

False accusations could lead to many terrible things. If someone was accused of molesting a child (which turned out to be false) that person could end up dead in prison. This has a high degree of destroying lives. So the punishment for false accusations should be equally as bad. I'd say 10-20 years in prison.

You have to somehow differentiate between false accusations of rape and unprovable accusations of rape. You can't punish a person because the police can't build a strong enough case to convict.

If they can build a strong enough case that the accusation of rape was false there are already laws in place to handle that.

Should be a serious sentence, considering you can destroy someone's life if the lie is believed. I think about 10 years for the average case sounds about right.

Clearly, the only reasonable solution is a C-Level Executive position, with superior pay and benefits compared to her male counterparts.

Sorry, this is a thread for angry people, and your post was even and nuanced. I'll have to ask you to leave now.

No idea, but your proposition is very flawed.

Rape is a far, far worse crime than falsely accusing someone of rape.

Anyone remember the Duke lacrosse rape accusations....? Interesting no charges were ever brought against her....

The Duke lacrosse case was a 2006 criminal case resulting from what proved to be a false accusation of rape made against three members of the men's lacrosse team at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The fallout from the case's resolution led to, among other things, the disbarment of lead prosecutor Mike Nifong.
In March 2006 Crystal Gail Mangum, an African American student at North Carolina Central University[1][2] who worked as a stripper,[3] dancer and escort,[4] falsely accused three white students, members of the Duke Blue Devils men's lacrosse team, of raping her at a party held at the house of two of the team's captains in Durham, North Carolina on March 13, 2006. Many people involved in, or commenting on the case, including prosecutor Mike Nifong, called the alleged assault a hate crime or suggested it might be one.[5][6][7][8]
In response to the allegations Duke University suspended the lacrosse team for two games on March 28, 2006. On April 5, 2006, Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler was forced to resign under threat by athletics director Joe Alleva and Duke President Richard Brodhead canceled the remainder of the 2006 season.
On April 11, 2007, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped all charges and declared the three players innocent. Cooper stated that the charged players – Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans – were victims of a "tragic rush to accuse."[9] The initial prosecutor, Durham County's District Attorney Mike Nifong, labeled a "rogue prosecutor" by Cooper, withdrew from the case in January 2007 after the North Carolina State Bar filed ethics charges against him. That June, Nifong was disbarred for "dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation", making him the first prosecutor in North Carolina debarred for trial conduct. Nifong served one day in jail for lying about sharing DNA tests (criminal contempt), although the lab director says it's a misunderstanding and Nifong says it's weak memory.[10] Mangum faced no charges for her false accusations as Cooper declined to prosecute her.[11]

So someone having sex with you while you are passed out is worse than spending 5 years in prison fearing daily ass rapings? D:

So you think that being tied down and being repeatedly anally penetrated by an entire mob is worse then being asked a few questions by the police?

This game is fun!

I am going to go out on a limb and say that most false rape accusations are closer to my rape story than your violent gang rape story.

And then there was the Brian Banks case where I believe all the accuser ended up suffering is financial penalities that will never be collected.

the rape would have a finite time span and then the victim would have to live with the memory of the act. a false accusation would result in untold stress on the victim and his family, massive financial loss (lawyers) and then eventually jail. this would be permanently on his record and affect him for the rest of his life in relationships (record would be online somewhere) as well as job applications.

plus the fact that women who do this make it easier to dismiss any rape claim as "maybe she just made it up".

So then if you falsely accuse someone of murder, you should get the lethal injection?
