Forcible rape should be a capital offense.

Can't say that I disagree.

On the other hand, the presumption of innocence must be maintained. There have been many falso accusations of rape, and many men rotting in prison because a woman lied.

Therefore, I believe a false accusation should be severely punished, if proven. Not just for rape but for any crime.

100% agreement in that. Knowing that you could send someone to death because of your false words might make a few women realize the severity of a false accusation as well. And if there is a false accusation of rape, it should carry the same penalty as the rape itself.
