Destroy a man's life, get 8 months. Yea, that seems fair. /s

[–]TomwaIvory 7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

She should have gotten the same time they would have gotten.

Ex: If they each would have been sentenced to a minimum of 4 years then she should get 8.

[–]soalone34 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Well to be fair harsh sentences would scare away other people from admitting they lied about rape.

[–]TomwaIvory 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That is something to take into account, but most of them won't admit it anyways.

[–]HappyGerbil882 points 11 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

That's a good point, and I think the solution is to just give them much lighter sentences when they come forward voluntarily. And make it depend on how long they waited before telling the truth, so it encourages them to come forward sooner as well.

[–]manicmonkeys 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

In some cases, sure. And in other cases, it would scare them away from making false accusations in the first place. It's largely a question of whether the false rape accusations it prevents will stop more harm to innocents than the false rape accusations that may have otherwise admitted to lying.

[–]soalone34 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Good point. How are false accusations handled with other crimes?

[–]manicmonkeys 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

In my personal experience, perjury is generally treated as somewhat of a joke. Judges don't really seem to care much, which is bullshit to me.

[–]Jonathan_Taylor 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

To be fair, that fear is irrational, and we shouldn't deny justice to falsely accused men because of others' irrational fears.

[–]soalone34 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It isn't irrational at all. If I falsely accused someone of rape and felt bad about it later, finding out others went to jail for 20 years could scare me off from coming out at all.

Getting an innocent person free is more important than getting bad people in jail.

[–]Jonathan_Taylor 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Proving a negative is incredibly hard, that's why thinking just anyone can do it - especially in a he said / she said case - is irrational. Furthermore, false accusers are so rarely punished in even lenient fashion that an accuser today assuming she could receive a serious sentence herself is incredibly remote.

Also, your premise works both ways as well. If harsh sentences deter genuine victims from reporting rape because people could be wrongly convicted, by that same logic we should refrain from issuing harsh sentences to rapists because men wrongly accused could potentially go to jail for a long time.

Are you consistent in your logic, believing that rapists should be given more lenient sentences for this reason?

[–]TR6Cool 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If the men had been found guilty of rape they would have got 5 years minimum each so all things considered she got a very light sentence. Her sentence cannot be appealed by the public for being too lenient either.

[–]pnw_diver 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Has a woman who falsely accused a man for rape in the US actually ever been charged with anything for it?

[–]HappyGerbil882 points 11 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Still more than I've ever seen a woman in the US get. The punishment could be higher yeah, but regardless of the crime 8 months is definitely not a slap on the wrist. And UK actually goes after them too, so much that a feminist organization over there is now lobbying the government to stop punishing women who lie. If nothing else, this starts sending a message to false rape accusers that they can't do that to an innocent man.

[–]AFandAM 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I would love to see a law that states that a proven false accuser will face the exact penalty, financial and imprisonment, as someone found guilty of the accused crime.
