This one caught my attention:-

A woman who made a false rape allegation that led to an innocent man being arrested has been jailed.

Rosanne England, 21, cut and then tore her underwear and scratched her own face before telling police a masked stranger had entered her house.

Derek Cummings, 59, who had never met England, was arrested because he fitted the description and had no alibi.

England, of Holbury near Southampton, admitted perverting the course of justice and was jailed for 18 months.


Good to see she was jailed (though not for 8 years which is what he would have expected).....but look here:-

Mr Cummings said he still had trouble from people close to where he lives in Fawley, Hampshire, who wrongly believe "there is no smoke without fire" and he cannot go into certain pubs.

"My family has been through hell," he said.


So let's see:-


  • Accuser admits it was a false accusation

  • Forensic team find evidence the rape scene was orchestrated

  • The accused and accuser had never ever met each other, he just fit the description



But no smoke without fire, eh?  :icon_cyclops_ani: :rolle:

Even the victim is making excuses for her.

Look ... even if it's only for eighteen months, England will still be having her underwear torn and her faced scratched. She'll be munchin' carpet and doing Big Bertha's laundry too (among other things).

There is no way anyone will ever feel outrage for any female behavior so long as females are allowed to kill their young late term.  Everything else is just pale in comparison.  We have as a society decided to let our women literally get away with murder.

This is the reason there needs to be felony level criminal sanction against each and every false rape accuser. This man is being punished by society even after being cleared by the leagle
system.
You may sleep soundly at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those who seek to harm you.
