It's a start!

Denison woman who made up kidnapping, rape indicted

Quote:
The charges come after an investigation in March of 2017 after Harmon reported to Denison police that she had been abducted and sexually assaulted by three black men.

Harmon faces up to 32 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
These women that make up false rape claims can falsely put men in prison for decades. It's past time these women started getting the same sentence the victims could have been sentenced to. Hope she gets the book thrown at her.

I agree that people need to be prosecuted for making false criminal charges, including false rape claims.

But knowing that some people do make false charges (BTW, men have been known to make false rape charges) hardly means that all such charges are false.

She absolutely should serve time for these false charges. By claiming falsely that she was raped, she has made it harder for women (and men) who have truly been raped and assaulted to be believed.

As someone who has worked with the victims of violent crimes, this infuriates me.

I think a woman that makes a false rape charge should serve as much time that would have been given to the person she accused.

No, but false charges should be severely punished. They should receive the same time as the accused rapist would have been sentenced.

Men falsely convicted of rape (and there are plenty of them in prison right now) are targeted for violence in prison simply because of the nature of their conviction.


Women that do this know what could possibly happen to their victims in prison and they go through with it anyway.


And since women typically make up false rape allegations to cover up something they were doing or to get revenge on a man, I just wouldn't be that lenient.

That is why the "Presumption of INNOCENCE" is critical!
