I just do. Maybe because I'm a woman. Maybe because I'm a mother. Probably both combined. Maybe nobody was really equating the false accusations with rape and I misinterpreted things entirely.

I agree with your sentiments completely except for the bolded....that, im sorry to tell you, is not only mind bogglingly ridiculous, its 100% wrong.

A guy I had known most of my life went through this situation about 15 years ago. To the extent of a trial and conviction etc... it was later learned the whole thing was a false claim and nithing but a coverup for some young lady who was hiding something else she didnt want her parents to know.

Not only did it destroy his family in the mean time....he ended up taking his own life because of it.

So I suggest you rethink your stance and ask yourself if his wife and children dont think its as big an impact on their lives as that of the little 8 year old girl and so many like her through time.

Both are equally devastating and heinous.
