So you believe that it is better for The State to incarcerate you, depriving you of your rights, than for them to not do so?

If you are a complainant but then go back on your word and refuse to testify, I think that's a little different situation than being incarcerated out of the blue.

Such a person has made a false report of a crime (a felony in many states) or is now attempting to compound a felony.

Unfortunately many victims of abuse rightly distrust the justice system because it has NOT protected victims in the past. And the perps *always* blame the victim for calling the cops, and escalate the abuse. So it never ends well, and there's plenty of blame to go around.

As I said before, we don't know all the facts here, but if she made the initial complaint, she is hardly an innocent victim of State overreaching.
