And notice how usually when it's revealed to be a lying girl, it's not usually a girl lying about some sexual harassment from a powerful person, it's some random chick trying to get back at someone closer to their level.

A prosecutor who fails to prosecute won't be a prosecutor for very long. It's hard to tell just how frequent this is because we only learn about it when they are caught but prosecutors intentionally lying or withholding evidence has happened many times, often on crimes as serious as rape and murder. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ...

I wouldn't say we need to change the "justice system" entirely. We need to change the general viewpoint that convictions = justice. The special features of the movie "Law Abiding Citizen" has a really nice take on this viewpoint. Spoilers ahead: In the special features, a real DA had commented that this type of dealmaking is standard procedure, because it guaranteed convictions, which helps DA's get elected, because they have actual numbers to "prove" they're "tough on crime," even though no actual justice was served. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen ...

I have a feeling the police won't actually be held accountable for what they did here. They'll just "review it internally" and then sweep the whole thing under the rug. This dude's going to have to sue them and pump more money into lawyer fees to even have a chance of getting reparations. Damn, another thing similar to the us --- Cherish me ... Copied to Clipboard!

Rape is bad, but so is lying about it. It's a disgraceful thing to do, and demeaning to people who have actually went through the horrible ordeal. What if this actually happens to her in the future? No one will believe her.
Sometimes I feel that lying about about a crime should be punished to the extent of the actual crime. Especially in the case of an innocent person being put in prison because of the lie. --- PSN: KillingLegacy Gamertag: Killing Legacy ... Copied to Clipboard!

IIRC destroying evidence in the UK is only a crime if it's destroyed after an investigation begins, and if the culprit is aware it began. If she destroyed it before the investigation began, it's not a crime. Edit: Although making false statements to the police almost certainly is. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dont defend her with she was just a stupid kid at 17, bull fucking shit, she knew he did not rape her and thr stigma rapists can have in jail.

I didn't send anyone to jail, mind you, but the things I did were still pretty bad. A persons brain can be developing well into their 20s, so that could influence the way people behave.

I would make a terrible prosecute/judge, because I have obvious bias toward youth. I'd have a difficulty time applying full pressure on a young person. Unless it was an extreme crime, like they literally killed a toddler and ate it's entrails, or some shit.
But like, B&E, or something, I would probably let it slide with a slap on the wrist. Especially a first time offense. --- PSN: KillingLegacy Gamertag: Killing Legacy ... Copied to Clipboard!
