“I wanted him to love me, and I didn’t think he did at that time.” She explained her inflated anger at her father, “He wasn’t showing up. I wanted him away so he would stop hurting me. I took my own vengeance.”

And there you have it, be careful whom you don't love or they'll send you to prison.

she was 11 years old when she committed the crime. don't get me wrong this is all kinds of fucked up, but she was an 11 year old going through a divorce at the time

I don't know what the solution is though, how do we stop men going to jail and their lives being wrecked like this when proof that is needed is quite erm, awkward to attain?

only thing off the top of my head are more awareness campaigns to let people know that just because a man is accused of rape or dv or both even it doesn't make him guilty. so annoying though coz everytime someone does anything like it they are rape apologists or some shit, and it discourages victims etc.

So... a grown man can be convicted of a crime and sent to prison for many years based on nothing more that the accusation of a child? We no longer require physical evidence to prove guilt? Looks like we haven't learned anything at all since the Salem Witch Trials.

This has been mentioned many times here, so I think we need a archive or something to keep track.

That said, giving her a pass because of her age when we have 6 year olds marked as sexual predators is absolute bullshit.
