"What a ridiculous idea."

Sending people to jail for false reporting is an idea whose time has come. We aren't talking about sending the "he said, she said" reporters to jail. We're talking about sending those women who falsely report crimes for profit (like the one in the article, who forced the poor guy to spend thousands of dollars defending himself, after she accused him of raping her in a city which he had never visited.). But I suspect you realize that.

False reporting is a CRIME, and it's hurts peoples' reputations. I think it should be as zealously prosecuted as rape is.

You seem to think that some crimes (rape) are worthy of prosecution, and others (false reporting) are not. The only person who seems to have a ridiculous, nonsensical, and twisted idea of our justice system is YOU, my friend.

"(like the one in the article, who forced the poor guy to spend thousands of dollars defending himself, after she accused him of raping her in a city which he had never visited.). "

The article I'm referring to here is one that was posted earlier (I've read so many today, I thought this was the one we were talking about here, you guys know how it is) where a prominent newscaster was accused of rape by a woman in Louisville (I think), a town which he had never visited. He spent thousands of dollars on his defense, and the charges were finally dropped. He chose not to press civil charges against the woman (who admitted the whole thing was false) because he didn't want his name associated with a heinous thing such as a rape. Horrible!

Men should not have to go through that while women skate and just move on to the next victim of their false accusations, emboldened by the fact that they weren't prosecuted for their crime.
