The mere existence of the Eighth/Ninth Commandment deflates the feminazi mythology that “a woman would NEVER lie about something like that”.
“some 47,000 American men are falsely accused of rape each year. These men are disproportionately African-American”
Yes. False accusers must pay double the penalty that the innocent man would have paid. If he loses his job, she must go to jail for life.
I think you need actual physical evidence and an official police report filed within 1 week of the crime. Or else forget about it. Go away. Don’t waste our time.
Both men and women need to adopt better behavior patterns so that unpleasant “incidents” cannot easily occur.
And people who try to initiate lawsuits based on events from 20 years ago should be sued into bankruptcy.
A false rape accuser should serve the full sentence for the rape. As they intended to publicly “rape” the accused
The Scottsboro Boys is a timeless movie, so it seems.
False accusers must pay double the penalty that the innocent man would have paid.

I totally agree with you. Especially in this age of Me-Too. Also damages to his reputation and any lawyer’s fees. The penalties need to be severe.
More like 90% if it’s Democrats accusing Republicans.
Your solution is actually the biblical way to deal with it.
Completely agree. Any time a “protected class” of alleged victims is created, they are handed a potent weapon that can be used in a multitude of ways. If they misuse their presumed victimhood to falsely accuse others, they should pay a very heavy price.
I have personally witnessed several workplace claims of racial discrimination over the years. In each case I knew the parties involved, on both sides, very well. In every single instance, the claim was 100% bogus and was leveled because the person making the accusation had gotten themselves into some kind of trouble and reflexively reached for the race card to deflect attention from their own behavior. Even more disappointing was the fact that in a couple of instances the plaintiffs were otherwise very respectable people who I (until then) held in high regard, yet even they couldn’t resist the temptation to use the advantage they had been granted by political correctness.
For this same reason, it is pure fantasy to believe that any group of people granted “protected class” status will ever concede that any “discrimination” against them, real or imagined, has improved one iota. No “victim” is ever going to let go of their victimhood, no matter what anyone else does to try to be responsive to their “concerns.” To do so would be to give up power, and in today’s upside-down leftist PC world, victimhood is the ultimate form of power.
The penalty for a false accusation could be so harsh that no one would ever admit to a false accusation.
The penalty for a false accusation could be so harsh that some with a legitimate accusation wouldn’t levy it due to fear of the penalty if they were accused of a false accusation.
Something needs to be done about false accusations, care is necessary to avoid unintended consequences.
Keep that in mind when the accused is part of a group of which you might disapprove.
False accusations are the weapon of choice for women. No concealed carry permit is required, no training, no expense, and you become a minor celebrity.
Unfortunately, a large number of accusations are true and those victims are often ignored because of the many liars.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying.
I disapprove of Bernie Sanders.
If some woman tried to end Bernie’s presidential run by suddenly “remembering” how he raped her back in 1994, I would absolutely side with Bernie and I would want to see that woman punished severely. I would have no interest in any of her “evidence”. Too much time has gone by. I don’t care.
That is the sort of thing I keep in mind when the accused in part of a group of which I disapprove.
Yup. Police report, and rape kit, collected the night of, or it never happened sweetie.
Oh, but you must ALWAYS believe the woman (unless, of course, the alledged perp is a Dem politcian).
Women are human, so they lie, too. Time to change the standards - without reporting the incident within, say, a week (if medically fit to do so), then no charges or suits can be brought. That will stop the election year and confirmation nonsense.
Some people are perfectly happy to believe ANY accusation, however absurd, if it is leveled against a person who is part of a disfavored group. The disfavor could be racial, religious, political, cultural, etc.
If you’re willing to give everybody a fair shake, good for you. Others should follow your example.
It’s not so much as them being from 20 years ago as there being no evidence whatsoever to support the claims, reducing everything to he-said, she-said, still leaving the accused in a no-win position.
If there’s real evidence... say, as in the Juanita Broderick case, then 20 years’ passage is not necessarily a disqualifier.
