We need to teach women not to lie about rape.

Give somebody power and they'll flex it eventually. It's practically human nature. Too bad for her it also sometimes means to ignore greedy human nature to be part of a society.

This type of crime needs strict punishment. Examples need to be made of women like this to curb would be rape-criers. It's a disservice to true rape victims as well as the falsely accused.

If you think of what might have happened to that guy if he did not have such a strong alibi, then no. And I am sure she would be out long before 2 years.

The only real solution is to stop rewarding accusers merely for having made an accusation. This kind of stuff isn't restricted to rape, I know a guy who faked depression to get a pass on a couple of projects, and another friend of mine advised me to try the same trick (I didn't).

Well she is going to jail for 2 years. That's a start.

More people are hurt. The article even discusses the taxpayer cost of investigating her crime.

No. Both victims of rape and the falsey accused stand to lose from false accusations.

1 in 4 women lie about being raped.

Not questioning your credibility, but do you have an actual statistic to prove this?

It was a joke related to the "1 in 4 women are raped" bullshit.
