That would unfortunately discourage many rape victims from pressing charges.
So you are saying that female rape victims have more rights than male rape victims?
If the accuser has no evidence whatsoever then the charge should not even be made. According to our law the accused is innocent until PROVEN guilty. This is why it is so critically important to report the rape instantly and collect all and any evidence that may exist.
The very accusation of rape, even with no evidence whatsoever, can destroy a man's life all but instantly. He has been raped as surely, and as brutally, as any other rape victim. How do we protect ourselves and our sons from being destroyed by a false accusation if there is no penalty for making the false accusation?
It is important that false accusers pay the same penalty for any crime they falsely accuse others of.
