Daughter accuses father of rape, who is sent to jail for seven years. She comes clean after 10 years and apologizes for the wrong accusation. Now she doesn't have to face any consequences because the initial hearing has been 18 years ago.

The law needs to be changed. It's not like she committed a wrong 18 years ago and then was a perfect angel since. No, she continuously committed a wrong for 17 years. Law should be changed to make it a crime to knowingly keep an innocent person in prison by withholding material information.

If the rape lie has its intended effect, and the lie is not discovered for a long time, the liar is rewarded by having any possible charges against her time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations.

This is a sad thing that happened. Unfortunately, things like this happen a lot when statutes of limitation apply. For example, there are a number of catholic priests who got away with molestation because the statute of limitations passed on their case.

I hope the father can get his record expunged, and if I were him I might think about filing a lawsuit against... somebody. I mean, you might not be able to seek criminal justice, but a civil court could give you monetary compensation.

if she cant face any consequences then the law needs to be changed, that is just a fact, its just as bad as Double jeopardy

He should be able to sue the state for imprisoning him with so little evidence.

That sets a pretty fucking scary precedent. "daddy buy me a car or I'll say you raped me. I'll recant after 18 years though so don't bother seeking justice after. Teehee!"

No statute of limitations for rape, statute of limitations for false rape accusations. I'm sure the feminists are putting a grand effort into making that fair.

Well that's fucked up, but that happens when you have a statute of limitations.

I actually agree with this, and I agree with some of MRAs' Principles as well. If you want people who false accuse to confess, then give them immunity. Similar to how you tell a child, "I won't punish you if you just tell me if you did it or not." and what not.

I am as anti feminist and pro mens rights as you get but I do not think states should punish false accusers, that way more of them come clean to get an innocent man out of jail. What needs to happen is the laws and legal system needs to do more to protect innecent men from going to jail in the first place. How about put special taxes on women so states can pay money to falsely accused men who sat in prison for years.... but that is unfair too. no easy answer but clearly states dont do enough to protect mens rights from the get go of accusations.
