“From the outset he maintained that although they had sex it had been entirely consensual,” said Mr Dowell.

He had taken a video which he showed to police, he said.

“It was clear from the video it was not the case that the defendant was being raped.”

The video is the only reason this man is now free, how sad is that?

The Judge let her go and said this:

He said that such allegations are a drain on police resources and after the sentence genuine victims of sexual assaults may be put off from approaching police.

You see there is nothing wrong with a innocent man going to prison to be raped by real criminals the problem is that false rape accusations:

1) Drain police resources
2) Genuine victims will not be believed

This feminist society of ours is so sick in the head it is fast approaching a totalitarian state.

Wait wait wait, do you not realize how tiny a portion of occasions of sex result in a false accusation of rape? And yet you're saying that she is a false accuser?

It's interesting , it seems like video evidence is involved whenever there is a high profile false rape allegation. I don't believe that a large percentage of casual sexual encounters are recorded, so the fact that they make up such a high percentage of debunked rape allegations imply one of two things is probably going on.

a significant number of men are being convicted of rape when they are innocent , but they didn't record the encounter.
men are MUCH more likely to record a casual encounter if they feel like that particular partner might make a false accusation.

either cause can certainly be used as a justification for keeping a recording of a sexual encounter.

Tricky. In theory, the law is about justice. But there's long-view justice and short-view justice. There have to be consequences for false accusers, but if those consequences are too harsh, we may create a greater injustice by discouraging false accusers of the future from recanting... put yourself in the shoes of the falsely accused whose accuser might have recanted if the system was more lenient, but instead you're doing hard time for a crime you didn't do.

Also, justice systems can involve a lot of back room haggling that doesn't make it into the papers. This woman could have been offered no prison time to secure her cooperation before the accused got involved in a trial, thereby sparing him a lot of grief and public humliation.

In the same way, if someone steals something very valuable (especially if it's unique), prosecutors will generally offer reduced sentences if the thieves help recover the property. Good prosecutors take the victim's interests into consideration, in balance with the need to hold the offender accountable.
