Five young men falsely accused of rape: the girls aren't charged, or even named in the news report

The rules in this area are a mess, both genders for all sexual convictions should be anonymous until found guilty, otherwise remain anonymous. To be accused is a huge stain on someone's reputation no matter the outcome of a trial. The women should have remained anonymous until their accusation was proven to be false at which time their names should have been published.

It was regularly insinuated by some media that former democratic representative Gary Condit, murdered Chandra Levy in 2001. Condit's career was ruined, and fast forward to 2009, they've finally caught the guy that really did do it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandra_Levy

this is insanely infuriating. i agree that all parties should be anonymous until the case is over. there is NO reason for rape to be a big-time public media circus.

It occurs to me that these people falsely accused have spent a year in jail, lost their jobs, lost girlfriends if they had them. Their names will show up for any google search a prospective employer does of their names. If they had been convicted of the crime they would have had an even harder time getting work due to the prevalence of background checks.

So, why are these liars who accused them escaping even having to disclose that they lied about rape to future employers? Why do they get a pass on criminal background checks? Something that prevents them from getting certain jobs where honesty is important, something that might make police and the courts apply a higher level of scrutiny if they accuse someone again?

Why, in the name of sexual equality don't groups like feminists who say they are all about sexual equality demand that these charges are levied against these women?

Women are naturally inferior, and require additional protections.

There still is civil court, sure it costs lots of money and the feminists will pay for the lawyers on their side. Which mens rights non-profit will support the men?! oh wait.
