Simple fact is, the law does next to nothing to prevent fake claims. A charge of "perverting the course of justice" is laughable. Many get a 2/3 years maximum, most get suspended sentences. - Yes I know the maximum is life, so do not start pointing that out. The maximum is exactly that, a maximum.
Until there is a real charge for this crime then it will continue. Also, I fail to understand how a charge for blatantly lying to the police will stop "genuine" victims from coming forward.
This is beyond disgusting. It seems when it comes to rape it is guilty until proven innocent, because of radical feminists shouting down the legal system for allowing an ALLEGED rapist to face a fair trial.
