Should women in false accuse men of rape go on the sex offenders register?

Just like some women are effected to different degree after being raped, so will some men who are falsely accused.Sometimes when a woman admits she lied quickly the man will be less effected but if she doesn't and it drags out.With court appearances, numerous Police interviews going into quite personal stuff, perhaps even having your own family doubt you even your wife or girlfriend. I would think it is extemely traumatic.

Unless you have been falsely accused or know someone who has and know what it feels like, how can you make a judgement?

Go back to my first post and fixate your eyes on the words 'ALL' and 'ROUNDER'.

What I was 'prattling' on about in my first post is what I'm saying now.
Defamation covers ORAL and WRITTEN. So, you actually think accusing someone of rape and reporting it to the police means their families won't know about it? Are you simple?
So one's reputation can only be eroded by telling their families? Or will the stigma attached to the publicity of such accusations inhibit them from progressing in the future?

Now you also say 'you grant there are circumstances where it might be written down'. Errr, yes, EVERY courtcase. Which is pretty much what this thread is about.

As you seem fairly expert on the process of court cases you will also know that the burden of proof lies on the prosecution, meaning that the jury has to be sure a man has committed rape in order to convict him. In such cases, the evidence to provide that surety is very seldom available, as even if DNA evidence is found it simply becomes a discussion of whether consent was given - a hugely difficult thing to prove either way as you have only the statements of the man and the woman involved to help make a judgement on that. For this reason not all men who are found innocent of rape really were - there simply wasn't enough evidence to convict them. It's a tad naive to assume otherwise, and very dangerous to suggest that women who accuse men who are not found guilty due to the limitations of our justice system should be put on some sort of register as 'punishment'.

I think the prison term is about right considering rapists in this country do not serve a huge amount of time . .Personally I give rapists about 15 yrs in prison, minimum.But thats me.

Anyways back on to women who lie about rape. They should be put on the sex offenders register because while they did not physically touch the man the whole process of a false accusation to me is a sexual crime.And in a way it is a way for a woman to allow a man to feel what it is like to be raped I believe.

Firstly the man has to submit to several degrading examinations.That can be done without his consent. Secondly a false rape accusation can seriously effect a mans life In terms of what his family and friends think of him, people at work etc. People with talking about sexual crimes often think there is no smoke without fire.That goes for alleged rapists and those who make a complaint.He might well find it very difficult to be in a relationship again , certainly sleep with a woman he meets in say a pub or club. To trust women. Women who have been raped also have some of these issues. As well as children who have been abused.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Sorry, I got you mixed up with the OP due to your mention of a "first post"... the same all applies to the original question of the thread, anyway.

I would say that if a woman admits to making a false accusation of rape then there should be some sort of punishment for that (I assume that by that stage she probably would have committed perjury? Maybe the charge should be something more I'm not sure. However I don't think that she should go on the sex offenders register as she didn't commit a sexual offence. My understanding is that the register is there is so that people can be aware that these people may be a danger/sexual predator etc which I don't think that the woman is.
