So how heavily should we punish teenagers who lie about their romantic lives? Who get caught up in fantasy and can't see a way out?

I said I'm not joining the debate of how severe the punishment should be. Just as long as it's not a slap on the wrist.

As the person she accused will forever have his life affected by this, and he was among the lucky ones.

As some serve years in prison, lose their careers, and more.

I've seen 'fuck up their life' and 'sued into poverty' suggested so far. Any advance?

I hope you aren't actually trying to imply here that false accusations of sexual assault doesn't happen, andor that false accusations don't ruin lives. I really hope you aren't asking for proof it ruins lives.

Then again, I shouldn't be surprised there are actually people going to bat to defend someone who falsely accused someone of a serious crime they didn't actually commit.

My position is simple, if the false accusers is proven to have made a false accusation, proven they lied, the false accuser deserves to be punished with something more than just a slap on the wrist.

It's not just the police and prosecutor. The literal false accuser is a problem too as all this started due to a 16 year old who should know better spreading a lie. This is not a 5 year old. The fact that some are bending into a pretzel to defend false accusers doesn't even shock me anymore.
