What do you think of this woman, Rachel Jones (mother of 5), Being made to serve 2 years in prison for falsely accusing a good Samaritan of rape?

[Pointlesslife82]

I think its justice served. He refused physical contact with her, and she later accused him.

A mother-of-five (Rachael Jones, 38) was jailed for 2 years after falsely accusing a Good Samaritan of gang-rape. He found her drunk, crying, and barefoot in the street and kindly gave her a lift home—only for her to fabricate the claim after he refused a hug.

The innocent man (Salim Ullah) was arrested, held in custody for over 30 hours, subjected to intrusive exams, and his reputation trashed—until evidence (including a recording he made of the ride) cleared him.

As she was led to the cells, the judge warned her actions could make men think: "No way am I stopping for a lone female, however distressed she looks!"

Exactly—what about the man's life destroyed? Arrested in front of family, humiliated, traumatized, all because he tried to help. False accusations like this erode trust, deter good deeds, and harm real victims.

Should penalties for proven false rape accusations be harsher to deter this evil?

And apparently i cannot link to the article, not high enough level

As a woman, due to situations like the above, i know very well, that i am on my own in society, We have alienated the other half of our society to such an extreme point that most men i speak to simply refuse to come to the aid of women, anywhere. And i cannot blame them.

No, it's not justice served. The life of a man falsely convicted of rape is destroyed. The penalty of a false rape accusation should be the same as the penalty for rape

2 years is not enough. She should have faced the same consequences he would have seen. In the US, it's 15 to 20 years, she should have gotten that.

Reminds me A LOT of my brother!!
Back in the `90's, he was living with a couple friends of his in their mobile home and they had 2 pre-schoolers. My brother had his own room. One morning, he woke up and was bending over to put his pants on when the kids went past his room and spotted him inside through the slightly open door and saw his naked ass when he bent over to pull up his pants. Of course, the kids didn't think any of this and giggled about seeing his naked ass. They mentioned it to their parents who added 2 and 2 and got 15 and had him arrested for a form of child molestation!!
Thankfully, the judge realized there was nothing there and let him go but his record was now stained with this!!
A few years later, he had other married friends of his over for a kind of cook out in the back yard. We'd known the guy's family since before he was even born! He got married to some snooty bitch with huge tits that thought she was hot shit in everybody's book!! They had a little girl that they were quite often asking my brother to babysit while they went to a concert, or something. 99% of the time, she'd come over and sit in the living room watching t. v., quite often with my parents while my brother went up to his room and watched Clint Eastwood movies and listened to heavy metal. The only time he saw her was when he'd come down to the kitchen to hit the beer tap.
As I said, they were over for a cook out and, as I don't associate with them, I was sitting on the top step of the front porch. I heard someone in the kitchen about 20' behind me and turned around to look through the screen doors and saw Mark's wife, Cindy, up close to my brother with her arms around his neck like she was gonna kiss him!! She even had one leg in the air behind her! My brother reached up and pulled her arms down refusing to kiss her because Mark was his best friend! Just as he pulled her arms down, she looked at me looking at her and quickly pulled her arms down the rest of the way! This all happened within about 10 or 20 seconds. (By this time, the little girl was 9 years old.)
Within a couple weeks, my brother got arrested again for molesting their daughter!! This time, even though the girl didn't act anything like a victim in court (after she left the witness stand, she walked past him, flashed him the peace sign and said, "I love ya, Bob."), they put him in jail for what was supposed to be 5 years but, because of technical shit, ended up being 7!
He never did ANYTHING to that girl and what REALLY happened was that Cindy wanted my brother and he refused her advances so, she talked her hubby into believing that my brother had sex with the girl to get him thrown in jail!!
Years later, Mark and Cindy got a divorce and mom & I went to his older brother's funeral and Cindy never looked at us or said a word to us!! Mark, however, was quite civil and friendly to us!! I think he figured it out, by then! When it first happened, he started harassing my youngest sister, riding past her house a few times a day on his motorcycle and yelling nasty things at her when he went by!
But, of course, my brother's life was ruined and, a couple years after he got out of jail, he jumped off a bridge and killed himself!

I think 2 years in prison is enough time inside. But further restitution to the family for the harm caused to them and mental health counseling, as well as community service for three additional years: helping actual rape victims and their families and getting help for her drinking problem and lying problem.

Something's very wrong with this woman that more prison time will not resolve. Long-term therapy might put her on some kind of path toward healing, as well as seeing the damage actual rape victims have suffered.

[Pointlesslife82]

I dont know. What i do know is stuff like this is what causes men to turn a blind eye to those in need. The ROI on helping someone when it can land them in jail or worse is not good, the risks out weigh the potential benefit.

[Screenwriter]

I think such cases are exceptionally rare and unusual. Most good samaritans do not run into messed up people like this woman.

[Twalli]

It's a problem, because the bad guys will still attack girls and rapes will still go unreported. Good guys won't and that will make society more dangerous. Too often, false rape accusations are not penalized, and the girl is just given a light sentence. If I was ever falsely accused and found innocent, I would rain hellfire on the girl and make sure that whatever happened to me is returned on her twofold if not more. Defamation of character, extortion (I had to pay a lawyer), forcing me out of a job, unlawful imprisonment, etc. I would make sure that I get repayment and then some. Also, I'd go on television and share my story. People would know who I am, who she is, and what she did. I'm not confrontational but push me and I push back (harder).

[exitseven]

it seems like justice to me. Civil suit will probably follow.

[Anonymous]

Well the man’s reputation is restored now that truth has came out that she lied.
2 years for lying seems like an alright sentence if the man’s reputation is restored. She’s ruined her own reputation now. Not that man’s.

[Pointlesslife82]

You do understand that reputational damage is almost always permanent, Plus the arrest will be on his record for life, so job prospects will always question it. Ah but you are a naive little girl and dont understand things like that.

[Mike_Hum]

WTF is wrong with this woman? Two years seems light.

[Dargil]

Two ears is barely enough. I think her children should be taken away from her and put in foster homes.

[Anonymous]

I get that. Like last week I was going home from a bar at 2am and there was this skinny ginger girl in short dress and low cut top crying on the curb outside a bar. I walked on to the next pub.

[CuriousMufuxka]

2 fucking years? Well chivalry is beyond rotted. Daniel Holtzclaw got 263 without any reputable proof!

[beefcakebradybatson]

B***h deserved five years !!!

[In_Trance]

Seems like rage bait

[Pointlesslife82]

My guess is you wouldn't know rage bait if it bit you in the butt. No wonder your MHO percentage is so low. Reported for irrelevant comment and trolling.
