Rejected petition Change laws for accusers of rape who are found to be lying to be punished
Change laws to protect people who are innocent of committing rape and have been falsely accused.
Making a law for those who falsely accuse should be a deterant, stopping accusations from arising out of revenge. The accusations against someone can lead to mental health break downs and trust issues
More details
Many young teenage gentlemen are accused by teenage girls for revenge, incases of break ups, young girls accuse their previous partner of rape, as a way to control the way others see them, and to destroy this person for not being in love with them. I have seen time and time again, young teenage lads broken, threatened and suicidal from such allegations.
The accuser never receives punnishment for lying, bit the damage to the accused is untold. Too easy for this accusation to be thrown about.
