3	Hannah Byron, 20, whose false rape claim led to an innocent man being arrested. Was seeking attention to make her former boyfriend jealous. Judge ordered 12-month prison sentence, suspended. Unfortunately, most evidence for rape is completely circumstantial. If we required direct evidence for rape very few real rapists would be put away. That doesn't mean that we should take a victim's testimony as completely true, but it does mean that we need to take accusations extremely seriously, because if we didn't rapists would walk most of the time.

6	from TwoX - a rape victim talking about false accusations This is why having sexual assault experts to handle these cases is such a good idea. Normal law enforcement tend to either assume girls are lying (and often say insensitive things to them) or take their word as gospel truth and not dare to ask them questions. People who are specifically trained to deal with this stuff know how to ask all of the questions that need to be asked, while still being sensitive. They know how to identify liars (and hate them with a burning passion, since their lies mak…	/r/MensRights	12/05/12 02:07 AM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
