It's amazing how with all the legal mechanisms in place that go into almost automatic mode when an accusation is put out - that you have to PROVE that such a set of events that are triggered by a false allegation have caused harm.
In a way, though, it's the states way of not wanting to admit their is a problem in the first place.
YOU or I make a false statement that impedes an investigation, we're facing charges. Why? Because the law is not a toy nor to be misused.
Which is who crazy our country has become - OF COURSE some PEOPLE will make false allegations. OF COURSE it'll cause harm, that's WHY it's done.
The person who made a false allegation against me did not send me a snitty note, did not trip me in the hall, did not slip on the stairs and say "rape" - they did the worst possible, go for the jugular, life altering vicious thing they could.
It's DELIBERATE.
These girls don't need counseling - they need to be in prison so the rest of us are safe.
Oh, yea, and MIGHT deter a few others - just as an FYI.
