OT but I knew a girl at Clemson that tried to file a criminal rape case against a person a knew. She basically had buyers remorse and decided the best thing to do was to ruin a young mans life.
Thankfully there were multiple witnesses(guys and girls) that spoke out in support of the guy. Turns out it was made up BS, there were multiple holes in her story, and he was dismissed of all charges.
I don't think she should be able to walk free from that. He would have been kicked out of college, jailed, be on the sex offenders list, and probably never lead a successful life after that if he had been found guilty. Those are very very serious accusations. She could have destroyed his entire life.
And yet she got to just walk away from it. Oh it's no big deal. I lost. oopsies......
Still pisses me off to this day. It's a HUGE deal and a serious accusation with life altering implications. If he were found guilty he would not have his current wife, kids, job, etc. It's scary to think about that one false accusation could have completely altered the course of his life.
