Second, I strongly encourage men falsely accused of rape to use every legal means available to go after their accusers, to deter others from filing false charges, who do so often for purposes of extortion. Also, it is time that DAs start prosecuting those filing false rape charges though I understand that would anger influential feminists. Third, the $166 million verdict in New Jersey is grossly excessive; the real way to stop kids from being beaten is to fire the caseworkers who fail to do their jobs.
