Absolutely she should be named! (although whats the point if she keeps changing it)
Even though the man has been freed, some peoples opinions are "no smoke without fire" and he might not ever be able to get people to believe that he was innocent.
However this case is a minority and this women clearly has mental health problems. She should be locked up for this, this is clearly against the law.

This is a tricky area and its very easy to make a decision without thinking this through.
If a man is accused,tried and convicted of rape he will receive at least five years in prison,(quite rightly too) and yes he will be named in the press.
The same sentence should apply for someone who knowingly accuses someone of rape, or indeed any crime.
The trauma for someone wrongly accused of any crime they did not commit is immense.
The problems these people cause for the police should not go unpunished as in this case.
There is added problems in particular if she was really raped the police will have the attitude of "here we go again" and could work against the victim,although they would of course investigate everything fully.

WITHOUT ANY DOUBT AT ALL. I am tired of feminists bending the law to protect women from indefensible acts. Are we supposed to believe that all women are little innocents. I stopped believing that when I was about five years old. In fact, the way things are today, it is the men who need protecting. Why are these women not jailed for the same length of time as their alleged attacker would have been. It is the other side of the same coin. But, I know that feminist politicians and their various acolytes are not interested in being fair to men, that is not their objective.

Of course she should. She is alleged to have made several claims of rape against different men. One served prison and probably the others were on remand in prison awaiting trial. If the allegations are true, she did a major disservice to women in general as it opens the gates in trials for rape for defense lawyers to argue her as a prime example of false claims. It will however (in UK) require a change in the law. It is a delicate balancing act as the Police will not want rape victims to decline to prosecute. Strong Defense questioning at Trials, not to mention the trauma of a medical examination after the rape, force many victims of this most vicious crime, to refuse to give evidence.....................

Yes, without a doubt,women & girls can accuse men and remain anonymous whether they are telling the truth or not. On the other hand men are almost always named even if they are innocent

Think it depends on her state of mental health meaning she will be assessed or was already if they found her to be of unfit mind she will remain anonymous but if she is just bad and not mad she will be prosecuted for wasting police time and the accused could sue her for defamation of character. I hope he does!!! Personally I think serial rape accusers should be considered liable for a sex related offence because you can garuntee she made a detailed statement saying what her rapist "did". sick person.

Yes she should be named publically.
Another innocent man 'named and shamed' because of lies.
I know someone who went through hell because of the lies of his WIFE who was trying to hide an affair. The man spent 8mths on remand before being found not guilty, he was named in newspapers and even on TV, she of course has never been named. She had cried 'wolf' before too.

Absolutely!!!!!! She has caused a lot of damage in the lives of innocent people. An innocent man was stuck in prison because of her. She deserves to be called out and held accountable for her actions!!!!!

Yes, of course she should - to stop her doing it again. If the bloke had been convicted of rape he'd have been named. She should be charged with wasting police time at the very least.
