Should go further she should be identified. She should be put on trial for perjury, wasting police time, perverting the course of justice.

FBI statistics state that only 2% of all reported rapes turn out to be falsely reported. This is consistent with all other crimes. I question whether this woman truly lied about the rape or it was just not proven or she dropped the case.
If she did lie about it she should be convicted for giving a false statement and should be punished to the fullest extent. She has done a diservice to rape victims everywhere and only perpetuates the myth that women lie about rape.
However, I think that none of us here truly know what happened between these two and it is not our place to judge her. If you have never been raped, then you have no idea what goes through the mind of a victim.
I would also like to add that 43% of all women who are victims of rape or sexual assault are perpetrated on more then one occassion by more then one perpetrator.

This is a very difficult question to answer. In principle I feel that the real crime was the incompetence of the police and the courts in not realising that the woman concerned was a serial liar. It is difficult enough to get women to come forward after they have been raped and also very hard to secure a conviction in court. Rape is a traumatic experience for women and I lean, with extreme reluctance, to the view that anonymity should still be preserved as the lesser of two evils.

Yes, she should be identified by name, location and a recent photo. She is NOT a victim, her identity needing to be kept secret. She is a CRIMINAL for destroying the lives of men innocent of the crime she accused them of. Her face should be all over the news just like any criminal. Not only has this sicko ruined the lives of these men and their families, but she made it that much harder for a TRUE victim to come forward for fear of not being believed.

Tough to answer. But yes she should be identified in a case of repeated claims. Protecting rape victims from character assasination is important too.

Of course she should be named, the lying little b*tch. She should not only be named but she should be put away for the same amount of time that the poor innocent guy had to languish in prison. An eye for an eye!

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Also, men accused of rape should not be named until convicted.

If they name her then she will instantly become a target of a REAL rapist.
What she has done is very wrong and I feel for the men she accused.
However, she needs psychiatric help, not actually raping, which may well happen if you name her.
