Letter here. Excerpt:
'Re: "Woman admits lying about rape," The Journal, Sept. 11.
This article caught my eye. Sadly it says a lot about the inequities of the approach to criminal law and the gender bias that is pervasive in the system.
...
The accuser admitted in court she lied and the accused had never raped her as alleged. An innocent man spent almost two years in jail based on her false accusation, finally recanted.
However, his name was included in the article and hers was not.
It seems that the false accuser is entitled to anonymity while the true victim, the accused, was not.'
