Everyone knows that actions have consequences, whether it be for the things you do or things you say. They can have long-lasting and even damaging effects on the lives of many people.
Many people have been brainwashed into believing the idea that we should just take a woman’s word when they accuse someone of rape or sexual assault. Yet time and time again we’ve seen examples of why this should not be the case and this is part of the poison that is the #MeToo movement.
In a recent case, a woman accused twelve teenage boys ranging in ages 13 to 18 of gang-raping her over the summer. Just ten days later she retracted her original statement. The woman then spent only a month in jail for potentially destroying the lives of these boys.
According to Western Journal,
After her bail was paid, the woman was not allowed to leave the country until her charges were tried in court.
Despite the British woman’s claims of innocence, the Famagusta District Court in Paralimni, Cyprus, found her guilty Monday of fabricating the crime.
“My conclusion is that the guilt of the accused has been proven beyond reasonable doubt,” Judge Michalis Papathanasiou said, according to the Evening Standard.
In my opinion, whenever someone falsely accuses another person of such a heinous crime then later found guilty of lying, that person should face the same punishment to the same measure that the accused would have experienced.
So if those boys were facing 10 years in prison, the false accuser should be forced into 10 years in their place.
