Obviously she should have received longer.

Why? The average sentence for that crime here is ~12 months. She received 9 months, presumably because she pleaded guilty at the first opportunity (which gives a small "discount" on the sentence for not wasting the court's time).

So given all of that, why should she have received longer? If she were male, the sentence would've been the same.

She has effectively ruined his life.

I agree! Her callous actions turned his life upside down, he spent a week in prison, his wife left him (though tbh if the wife left over this their relationship was probably doomed anyway) and I think he lost his job as well.

On the plus side, he can rebuild it. He doesn't have a criminal record, so there's definitely room for him to get it back together. He'll likely receive compensation from the govt. under the victims of crime act as well.

He suffered as a result of this, which is why she's going to prison, but it's quite frankly silly to think that a longer jail term would somehow "unruin" his life.

Now every time anyone runs a name or background check on him, the fact that he was jailed for sexual assault comes up.

Actually, if you google his name everything that comes up is how he was the victim of a false accusation. I just did it then, you give it a go and see if your results differ!

That shit is on his record permanently whether he has been proven innocent or not

What record are you talking about? Most employers here in Australia ask for a national police clearance. Given that he's not been convicted of this, it won't appear on there and that means he'd be unlikely to be rejected for anything. If they google his name, the reports all flood in about how he helped someone and was the victim of a false accusation.

I highly doubt this is going to affect his life from this point forward. The damage has already been done and it doesn't look like it's going to get worse.

child support which he can't fucking pay because his job is gone.

Do you even know how child support works in Australia? If you have no income, you pay no child support. It's a percentage of your income that you pay. He'll be fine. Having said that, does he even have children? I didn't see that in any of the reports, just that he was married and his wife left him.

Five months is not. fucking. enough.

You haven't demonstrated why. All you're advocating for is vengeance, which thankfully the courts in Australia don't go so heavy handed on compared to the USA.

I mean, is it asking too much for people to not lie about rape accusations?

This is like asking people not to commit crime. It makes sense to us, but we're not criminals (I'm assuming). It's not going to stop criminals from committing crimes, though.

This why people fear false rape accusations.

Yep. Societies across the (Western at least) world have gone overboard when it comes to allegations of rape/sexual assault. They used to not take them seriously at all, which was horrible, but now we're at the other extreme where people can be locked up for months on the flimsiest of allegations.

I think all allegations should be investigated thoroughly. They shouldn't just turn people away or not believe them like they used to, but they shouldn't be locking people up on remand because some chick said something happened.
