Can the victim who wrongly identified be sued ?

Seems like it would have to be proven that they deliberately lie.

I heard a radio show where an alleged victim said her rapist was released because she went and had sex w/ her boyfriend right after the rape as a coping mechanism and the rape kit probably picked up his semen. Now that's something to think about: a rapist getting out of jail with a few hundred thousand bucks in his pocket.

I have a hard time believing that story. I used to think that women wouldn't lie about rape or sexual assault. I don't think that anymore.

Part of the big deal in these cases is the mistake wasn't an innocent one.
