There’s no going back from accusations of this kind. Reputations are ruined.

I remember in high school and college the “banner” saying was that women don’t lie about being raped. Children don’t lie about being abused/molested. Sure they do. And, false accusations screw over real victims and ruin lives of innocent people.

And those who charge false claims don’t seem to suffer any public or court reprecussions. I don’t recall that Duke accuser being charged with anything or suffering in any way for trying to ruin the lives of 3 good guys, for costing them and their families millions of dollars in legal fees. She didn’t serve any jail time.

Last I checked, it was innocent until proven guilty. The prosecution has to prove guilt.

Yeah, he dodged a huge one there. Stood strong and threw it right back at her. All these years later, the kid is 17, almost 18, and has a good relationship with her Dad and her Mom.

Didn’t we all know that banner was a lie when we first saw it? I can’t remember what happened to Potipher’s wife, the one who accused Joseph in the OT, but it seems to me there was punishment of some kind...
