I hope the boy recovers substantial monetary damages from the parents of these girls. The girls should be charged with filing a false police report and at least spend some time in jail.
The school should force these students on stage at a school assembly to publicly admit to their crime and apologize to the student AND apologize to the entire student body for the false claims.
Agree. I would add that those who falsely accuse should suffer the same jail term that the accused would have served.

If you actually care about justice that is idiocy.
For people who are falsely accused, it ensures no one would ever recant. That means this young man would still be faced with these issues as the only reason the second set of charges were dropped were because the girls recanted. Which, btw, is how most false accusations are proven.
And while I suspect you don’t care in the slightest about sexual assault victims, some of us do, and such a penalty would guarantee that many if not most of them would stop reporting legitimate crimes, as the conviction rate of those crimes is already woefully low, and now you are telling assault survivors that they may go to jail if no conviction is turned in. Nice guy there aren’t ya?

No, that's not what they are saying, that is your biased imagination saying those things. The poster is saying if it is PROVEN that they made up the allegations they should get the same sentence and I support that 100%.
I just don't understand how you rationalize conflating women who make false accusations and actual victims of sexual assault. That's so sick & wrong. Both are bad, both are wrong. Stop making one contingent on the other.
Oh, so you now think, because of this, that ALL women are to be doubted ? Got an alert for you, there are certainly women (and girls) who will make false statements and lie. Any time you are dealing with humans, you get a certain percentage that do the wrong things. It happens. But, that does not automatically negate EVERY female who is a victim.
Next time you wonder why so many true victims of sexual violence are reluctant to come forward, read your own post. Your attitude is precisely why they feel people will make them the criminal instead of the victim. I hope some girl or woman you love is never put in this position, or you may then fully understand the impact of thinking like you exhibited here.
Wonder where these girls learned these tactics from...
From getting by with blaming their siblings for crap they did from age 3. Cute charming girls can get by with all kinds of stuff because they tell people what they want to hear.
Theyre being sued. I dont think they will walk away if its proven. This whole OMG you might be falsely accused shrill nonsense is just that. Quick-which is more likely? You will be falsely accused of rape or sexual assault......Or you will be hit by lightning?
Its the lightning stat. by more then a factor of 2 in fact.
What does probability have to do with anything? One false allegation, especially if it was against you, is one too many. We have a system in place that works. It is called, presumption of innocence. Why change it?
blah blah blah. You are still blowing a incredibly rare event vastly out of proportion in order to justify ignoring sexual assault. That says a lot about you I think. So I will let your words speak for themselves. And I will look at the FACT that you are more likely to be hit by lightning.
People aren't playing it down, but rather noting that accusers, if proven to have made up the allegation should face significant penalties just like the offenders.
Innocence project just freed 2-3 guys recently that had been in jail for 20 years based upon false accusation.
Of course you guys are merely lining up over politics and the SCOTUS nomination but you shouldn't be.
