If no evidence of physical injury, since being arrested for sexual assault is worse then rape, should accusations of sexual assault be insufficient?

[Kelley1]

Evidence of physical harm may not apply for victims of statutory rape since sperm is evidence.

Even if there is no physical harm, rape is very traumatic. Nevertheless, unlike victims of false allegations, rape victims are not arrested, fired from their jobs, and ostracized. Moreover, people remember the allegations and continue to ostracize, fear, and blame the victim even after proven innocent.

False allegations sexual abuse, while not as common as true allegations, do occur and can have devastating consequences for both the accuser and the accused. These false claims can stem from various motivations, including revenge, attention-seeking, or mental health issues.

If it happens, it needs to be reported. If nothing else, that report can be used against them in the future, especially if there are multiple victims.

Cops and courts believe anything and everything women tell them regarding men's behavior.

[Kelley1]

It is worse. 911 was called on an assault. When the police arrived, the husband, who was bleeding, was placed in handcuffs. The lady cop talked to the children, who confirmed their mother attacked their father with a knife. The handcuffs were removed, and the police said the wife needed therapy--no arrest and no handcuffs for her.

@Kelley1 wow that sure sounds like US justice.

[Kelley1]

@Kelly6 That is how it is. It is assumed men are guilty. Women, like children, are innocent.

[msc545]

Exactly, and this is why many men often do not date or approach women. We get no justice, and we are assumed guilty based on a woman's words alone.

False rape accusations happen as often as fake bike thefts. It shouldn't control the narrative of real people needing real help.

anecdotal to my home theirs a infamous high end restaurant and everyone in town knows the owner is a child rapist. The victim after crying retelling the events had a laughing encounter with a jury outside of court and fuck the whole case. I'm eavesdropping this in the guys restaurant from lawyers eating there too. Ask my dad telling me the same thing and a few other people.

This is very much a bourgeoisie class base privilege. Ran into the same thing with being a jury on a self defense. The guy who got shot was in the guys bedroom protecting his girlfriend but him being a potential homeowner of the property so higher class order castle doctrine dosen't apply somehow?

Sexual assault allegations should always be investigated seriously, but we must balance victim protection with due process. Lack of physical evidence doesn't prove innocence, but arrests shouldn't happen without proper investigation. False accusations are rare but devastating—the system should protect both parties' rights until facts are clear. Truth matters more than speed.

[Kelley1]

False accusations are common. How many time in grade school, middle school, high school, and at work falsely pointed their finger at you? It happened to me a lot. It had always been minor--such as some jealous girl telling lie to a boyfriend. However, minor or not, it is annoying.

Even serious false allegations happen far to often. Google and find example of innocent men spending years in prison before DNA evidence proved them innocent. Look up "The Duke lacrosse rape hoax." It those three young didn't have millionaire parent who could afford proper investigation, they would have gone to prison.

It's hart to take certain people seriously, especially when they're just in it to "profit"
