Connecticut college student gets 1 year in prison for false rape accusation (youtube.com)
So why not do it, if the penalty is so low? so might ask. She first rejected, but then accepted a plea deal. The men had to leave school. They were not charged. ‘Sexual activity had occurred, but was consentual. Prosecutors say [she] made up the rape claim because she didn’t want to upset another student she was interested in.' Both men say they plan to sue the school.
People should take note of how the woman first lied, but they were able to cause her to change her story (several times, it seems), and this led to discovering she was lying. If she had presented a solid claim, and if those in contact with her had not done whatever they did to cause her to change it, the men may have been charged with rape (and their lives sort of ruined, rather than just damaged as they were). As long as a simple testimony (which may or may not be a lie) is enough to charge a person.
