So, you think your boyfriend should pay you more attention?

[draco664]

How do you go about convincing him of that? Book a romantic weekend away? Meet him dressed as a french maid as he gets home from work?

How about... punch yourself in the face, rip your clothes, pick two random strangers off Facebook and claim they raped you? Yeah, that'll do the trick!

Look at that, it worked! BF is much more attentive. Those poor sods who spent 2 months being grilled by the cops, having their lives medically and forensically examined in detail? Fuckem, who cares? BF isn't going to as many football games now.

It's not like you'll be jailed if it all comes out.

Bet you quite a lot of money that she was given a light sentence because she's a single mother.

I'm not sure she's even fit to take care of herself, much less a child.

[Nekojin]

I have no words for how utterly vile that is. You don't make rape accusations lightly. You don't make them at all if it's a flat out lie.

I'm not a Christian, but bearing false witness is still one of my big, big hot-button piss-off points.

[Akasa]

People like her make it harder for women who have been raped to come forward. She's scum!

[ExRetailDrone]

What a disgusting waste of space she is! You don't go around crying rape because your boyfriend isn't paying you as much attention as you'd like! Rape is not a joke and it is not something to use as retaliation in any sense for some imagined wrong! And the fact that there are barely any consequences for her makes me see red I really feel sorry for those random 2 guys on Facebook. I hope their lives aren't completely ruined because of that dumb twat >.>

[Kelmon]

200 hours of community service? For a false claim of rape, she should have gone to prison.

Given that it is hard to live down being accused of rape, no matter if true or not, she might have destroyed two lives, and as Akasa said, making it harder for other women that have actually been raped.

Can she still be processed for libel and for the distress the two victims suffered?

We are sorry. Fireheart is currently attempting to pick up the pieces of brain matter lying on the floor. Please wait momentarily and she will return to assist you.

[Nekojin]

Can she still be processed for libel and for the distress the two victims suffered?

Yes. Those are civil matters; the trial at hand was a criminal matter.

[Amanita]

Wow, what scum. I seriously hate people like her, they make things so much worse for real rape victims trying to find the courage to come forward, for fear they won't be taken seriously.

[draco664]

Can she still be processed for libel and for the distress the two victims suffered?

Can? Sure.
Will? Not likely.

She's already been found guilty in a court of law, so suing her just to get a guilty judgement is redundant. Unless she had assets to go after (and as a single mum with a massive self-worth) I can't imagine that's the case. No lawyer would take the case on without payment up front as getting the judgement back would be highly unlikely. They're no doubt already down thousands in legal bills already. Suing her would be throwing good money after bad.

*picks up brain matter from the floor*

OK, now that I've recovered from the brain asplodey moment, I can weigh in on this.

If she really has issues with her boyfriend not paying attention to her, then crying rape is not going to get you what you want.

[Rageaholic]

Yes, ruining peoples lives and wasting police time because you think your boyfriend doesn't give you enough attention. How fucking selfish can she get? The cunt.

(and I don't use the C word liberally)

[s_stabeler]

... This kind of crap is exactly why rape allegations are treated poorly. Those two guys had to go through 2 months of absolute hell, let alone what the bitch did to her partner's friends and fmaily. (she caused arguments with his friends, and cuased teh guy to lose touch with family) She should have been imprisoned, not given 200 hours community service.

[Nekojin]

There aren't any laws that assign imprisonment for false claims of rape - there's no way to tie the action to the punishment. I suspect that what the judge gave her was at the very limits of what he/she could legally impose.
