(from the article):"Are we really to believe that a mere 18 months later Coakley didn’t know what to do after she’d been raped a second time?"

FAke ,... but accuate .
False claims of rape will continue to exist until false claims recieve the same penalty that those whom they would falsely accuse , would have recieved.

A commonly held opinion on FR, and one that I share. However, American prosecutors seem to disagree strongly with us.

When I last checked, the average sentence for a rape conviction was about eight years, with average actual time served for a rape conviction at just over five years.

I have never seen a well-sourced number for average sentence for conviction for false rape allegation. In news articles I have read, the sentences have almost all been under two years, usually under one year, long on community service and psychological therapy, short on prison time.

Let's not forget what (never) happened to Crystal Gail Mangum, who falsely accused the Duke lacrosse players of raping her. The case against her was open and shut, but prosecutors refused to charge her. Had already she been in prison for her crime, she wouldn't have been able to murder her boyfriend.

In America, false rape allegation is not treated as a serious crime.

The problem is they are moving the goal posts. Rape is now redefined as any sex when a woman is drunk or high, EVEN IF SHE CONSENTS. Afterwards when she sobers up even if she was saying Yes Yes Yes, she can change it to rape.
