Police said a woman, spurred by jealous anger, falsely accused a former boyfriend of raping her

Something thats always bothered me about this is, how would false rape reform actually work?

Lets say if after a trial and the defendant is acquitted, we charge the accuser with filing a false police report, what about when there just isn't enough evidence of the rape but the accuser actually was raped? we're now punishing a victim.

or if an accuser recants their story, they are charged with false police reports, why would anyone ever do this if they now know they will be charged a crime for doing so.

I'm all for reform of the legal system here, but there's too much wiggle room to be effective at punishing those who deserve it and those who do not from it.

The premise of this story is a complete and utter lie. Women NEVER lie about rape, so I've been led to believe...

That's why we can trump due process considerations in the prosecution of accusees.
