>>28233People don't lose years to prison time for rape, and being sent to jail by mistake isn't even remotely traumatic like actual trauma by rape. Time lost isn't the same metric when the time is spent in the wrong spot (where you get meals and time to work and study) vs time lost from ptsd and related post rape issues which is money spent on therapy if you have the income while suffering from the aftershocks of rape for as long as ptsd ails you. Potentially forever.
And realistically, false rape accusations don't make it past the court phase because for a criminal act you need to be proven
beyond a reasonable doubt in court. It's just such a non issues it's stupid. Most "false rape" situations involve women who didn't report to the police and instead told the community and you have to trust the guy isn't obviously lying and claiming he's been falsely accused. And what good does that do for the woman accusing him? All the revile and hatred that being a rape victim and accuser of a man gets. You don't get coddled, no one helps you or looks to you with sympathy, crying rape won't get you free therapy, and your life lives with the mark more than the guy will because it always blows over after a while for the guy even if he definitely did it cause people would rather support a man than punish him for actions done against women for his whole life. If he'd raped another dude that's the only way he'd certainly have his life ruined by a rape accusation. Otherwise give it a year or two and people will be back to being their public friend and nobody will care about the past accusations no matter how true or at least possible they may be. They'll cope about his reasons, act like it never happened, or how it's a mistake that'll never happen again and the girl should just "get over it cause he's a nice guy".
