FEDERAL LAW that you go to jail for the same amount of time as the person you accused!!!
I am the VICTIM of a false allegation. During my divorce my idiot ex claimed I hit her in the head and had me arrested.
THANK GOD I was able to prove that I was not even home at the time, I was actually at my attorneys office (on the phone with the judge setting a court date) so she immediately lost custody.
But if I was not somewhere with witnesses I would have been screwed. Even though I was not guilty I was still arrested and taken from my home, I had to move out OF MY OWN HOUSE until the trial, I lost a $20,000 contract and more.
She should have been held accountable for ALL of that- but the idiot DA didn’t want to prosecute saying “you’re just trying to get back at her”...
I had to tell him “NO, I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS THE VICTIM OF A CRIME!” and threatened to file a writ of mandamus to force him to do his job. [remember that one, guys]
I also had to remind him that they probably don’t like when women USE the courts to victimize innocent men, and of the money it had cost me having FALSE charges filed.
When they have eyewitnesses- including a judge- that the woman is lying, then they should do what they can to discourage that behavior.
