Fake rape victims a danger to society: Court

Women who file false rape cases are a danger to the society as the courts and public would start disbelieving the real victims, a Delhi court has said.

I want to scream every time I see this as the main reason given for why false rape allegations are wrong, harmful, should earn the false accuser penalties, etc.

How can people fail to understand?
When a woman levels false allegations against a man, other women are not the primary victims of that crime.

The falsely accused both suffers and faces damages.

his reputation takes an immediate hit
he will be at least temporarily imprisoned
there will be at least the financial loss involved in paying bail
regardless of the outcome of the trial, there will be at least some in his community who will always view him as a rapist

In addition, the stress of dealing with the false allegations and the ensuing mandatory investigation can

damage his existing relationships with family and friends
cause him problems at work due to lost time, reputation issues, and hostility resulting from reputation issues
cause stress-related health problems, including anxiety, depression, elevated blood pressure, digestive issues, and exacerbation of existing health conditions

He faces an uphill battle, being accused of one of those crimes for which discriminatory law requires that the accused be treated by the court as guilty until proven innocent. If he cannot prove his innocence, he faces

imprisonment, followed by
abuse by fellow prisoners and guards because of the nature of his conviction

If he survives that long enough to be released, he is subjected to invasion of privacy via

sex-offender registration
publication of said registry for public viewing, including online access
forced self-identification to neighbors

as well as

compromised freedoms (regarding where he may or may not reside)
reduced employability
loss of right to bear arms

With this in mind, I contend that the effect of false allegations on the credibility of other accusers is the least of the reasons why one should be outraged and argue in favor of taking preventative measures against similar future offenses.

This article gives convincing evidence the FRA rate is more like 40%.
