The Jameis Winston/FSU deal has me thinking again. If the guy committed rape, then I think he should have the book thrown at him. But going back to the Duke lacrosse case, there have been SOME women who have made these accusations for attention/money/regret/whatever and it's RUINED the lives of the men they've accused and it's terrible.
I believe the time should fit the crime, so I am in no way advocating that sentencing be 25 years or something, but does anyone else believe that this should be a lower degree felony punishable by a few years in prison? Some of these women have ruined these men's lives with their accusations, I believe theirs should be ruined with a felony on their record.

I think this one is pretty simple. A false accusation for rape gets the same maximum sentence that the rapist would. The only thing more vile than a rapist is someone that would make such an accusation and have someone serving a long prison sentence for a crime they didn't commit. Nothing more contemptible.
In addition, false accusations of rape damage the legitimacy and credibility of actual victims.
