  • Let’s Make A Habit Out Of This…

    Woman who falsely accused a man of rape goes to jail for a year……

  • Seems fair. If the guy had been found guilty he would have spent decades in prison and spent the rest of his life on a list that would make people spit at him as he passed by.

    I’m sure with good behavior she’ll be out in six months.

  • She should be in longer.

  • Where was Al Sharpton at the time she made the accusation? Just askin’.

  • A year? When are we going to start giving these false rape accusers the same sentence their victims would have had?

  • She should be given the same sentence her victim would have got.
    Something like 10 years and a lifetime on a sex offenders’ registry, with angry mobs demanding she be denied permission to live there whereever she wants to buy or rent a house.

  • While I sympathize with locking her up and throwing away the key, had the penalty been anything like that, she would still be insisting that she was raped on her deathbed.

    Besides, this way she can be out in time for Valentine’s Day.
