I would think that someone should be charged with something along the lines of Involuntary manslaughter for this atrociousness. Again, we see the discount based on their ages (which aren't reported), and a more 'informal approach', whatever that is, was taken.
Sounds to me, like two criminals were allowed to get away with their crimes with no punishment.
Bryan Davies dies of heart attack after falsely being accused of paedophilia.
An innocent man, who suffered months of abuse in a Lancashire community after false claims he was a paedophile, has died of a heart attack.
Two girls alleged Bryan Davies, 63, had sexually touched them in August - but police found their claims were false and had no foundation.
His wife Debbie Davies believes the subsequent hate campaign in Accrington caused his death on Friday.
Police said they were continuing to provide support to the family.
"The doctor told me my husband died of a massive heart attack," Mrs Davies, 43, said.
"As far as I am concerned those girls are responsible for what happened to Bryan."They are just nasty individuals. They have got nothing between their ears, they are morons."
The allegations were made after the couple refused to let the girls sleep over at their house or walk their dog, Mrs Davies said.
Although the girls' stories were dismissed by officers Lancashire Police did not prosecute the pair.
A spokeswoman for the force said the decision was based on their ages and a more "informal approach" was taken with the the help of social services.
Police later handed out leaflets to locals in the neighbourhood to state officially the allegations were "false and without any foundation whatsoever".
But a brick through their window, slashed car tyres and constant shouts of "paedo" and "pervert" in the street increased Mr Davies's stress, his widow added.
Brick through window
The couple moved homes to another street in the town recently but malicious rumours spread and the abuse continued.
Mr Davies, originally from the Cardigan Bay area of Wales, had a brick thrown through the window of his house last week.
And on Friday he was taken to hospital with a kidney problem but slipped into unconsciousness and later died.
Lancashire Police said they had made "reassurance visits" to Mr Davies's house on 29 November and again on 1 December.
Insp David Mangan said: "Our neighbourhood policing teams have been working closely with Mr Davies and his wife throughout and every complaint has been taken very seriously.
"This is obviously a very sad time for Mr Davies's family and we are continuing to provide support for them."
Thanks to AFOR for the tip.

Interestingly, in this case, the police can't be faulted - they not only dismissed the false charges, they even went to lengths to inform the community that Mr Davies did not commit the crime.
The problem here is not the police, but the obscene cultural reaction to an unproven allegation of pedophilia.
The myth that women and girls 'never, never, never lie' persists. This will require more than institutional change.
Beat me to it Snark. Took the words right out of my mouth and even made them sound better too.
Perhaps this story will persuade the "innocent" men out there who have never been touched by a false rape accusation, as well as those that have, that a false rape accusation is nothing less than a declaration of a fight to the death.
I did not want this fight, I did not start this fight, it was thrust upon me, but as a MAN the only thing you can do is grin, smoke em if you got em, fuck the odds, and determine to go out in a blaze of glory.
That means MEN accepting the challenge, AS a fight to the death, and giving no quarter.
Pursue your false accuser to the limits of the law, through criminal courts if you can, but through civil courts as a must.
Pursue them until they are as ruined as they would have made you, until their names are as blackened as they would have blackened yours, until they are as broke and destitute as they would have made you, until they, feel like they tried to make you fell, like suicide is the only way out.
Then push some more, and keep pushing.
If you don't, if you give up at any time short of this goal, you end up like Brian Davies, dead, and those left behind still have shit all over their name.
I will say it again.
A false rape accusation is a declaration of an intention to fight to the death.
You can't "take that back", or apologise, or make it right, or anything else, once the tide turns.
A false rape accusation is a declaration of an intention to fight to the death.
The first real Hero of the Movement will be the first man who fights back until his false rape accuser does the world a favour and dies by her own hand.
A fight to the death.
As H-D used to say, "anything else is less"

afOr- well said. I know both of us have considered suicide in the past 6 months. It sometimes does seem like the only way out of this nightmare.
I hope we do get through this not only vindicated but alive.

Snark,
I think I'm going to agree and disagree on this one.
Yes, they dismissed the false charges and let the public know.
However, the girls have never been charged, and it was thier actions, falsely accusing him, that led to the harrasment. I think the police should be charging them, with something more than false reporting.
If you had given me a gun 4 hours after I was arrested I would have put a bullet in my head.
But, that phase is past.
I woke up and realised it was a fight to the death.
THAT ATTITUDE ALONE was what gave me the strength to fight, and what gave me the strength to amass enough evidence to prove (not got to any proper court hearings yet) beyond all doubt that my accusers are lying through their teeth.
I simply cannot stress that point enough.
"Fuck it, I'm going to win, or go down in flames trying."
That is you ONLY way through.
Your false accuser, despite having dropped a nuclear bomb that was supposed to kill you, is NEVER ready or prepared for that kind of life or death fight.
That fact alone ALWAYS decides the victor. In every walk of life.
If you want to win, wake up, smell the coffee, and realise it is a fight to the death.
Within a couple of weeks everything will seem different.
Within a couple of weeks that attitude will change the nature of the evidence you can amass to prove your (mans) innocence.
You no longer have a target of exonerating your man.
That is no longer the summit, the finish line, it is just a step along the path.
The real target is to render the false accuser shunned by society, unemployable by anyone, holes in their shoes broke, and suicidal.
Then you push some more.
Keep pushing until there is nothing left to push.
----------------------
Think well on this.
Once you have been burgled, your chances or being burgled again go through the roof.
The ONLY way to avoid this is to earn a reputation burglars are terrified of.
Catch the burglar, kill them, and nail the body to your door.
Nobody will ever burgle you again.
--------------------------
The alternative is to let yourself open for more false rape accusations in the future, and that will be like being accused NOW, and then everyone from the DA / Police / Media on down says "yeah, and he was also accused of rape in 1995, but he got away with it that time."
To the death.

You're right. I overlooked this fact.
Like the Laurence boy, the family can launch a civil manslaughter case easily enough.
It won't happen, because "the family" actually means his widow, and women (CBGirl may be the exception that proves the rule) don't give a shit what happens to men, even when those men are their husbands and sons.

It is a perversion of our legal system that enables girls to make false rape accussations.
The gender feminist / law enforcement missinformation Alliance is a stain on our constitution.
Afor - I think his wife does care what happened. I don't think she really wants to become embroiled in a long-running, costly court case, causing her even more heartache.
Anyway, we don't know what's going to happen next - anything or nothing.
I wish the article had reported the ages of the girls who made the false reports. If the girls were particularly young, perhaps preteens, then it would be reasonable not to charge them with a crime since they would not even understand the charges filed against them. However, if they were older than 10, it makes no sense to let them off completely, especially since the allegations appear to have been maliciously made.
This case reminds me of one from several years ago. Some 11-year-girls falsely accused a homeless of rape because the girls skipped school to go to the mall and did not want to get in trouble. The homeless man spent 3 months in jail and was on the verge of suicide (he was planning on cutting his wrists with a shaving razor) the day the charges were dropped.
I do not see how social service therapy even begins to address the harm caused by false accusations.
If the girls were particularly young, perhaps preteens, then it would be reasonable not to charge them with a crime since they would not even understand the charges filed against them.
Completely disagree.
Are you saying they were not cognizant of their actions when they made the false report?
Of course they were. They chose their actions. They volunteered themselves for their fate. They should receive punishment regardless of their age.
From memory the girls were 14-16 when they made the complaint.
AfOR
TS,
Good points. What worries me most, is that by withholding any information about these girls, and not levying any form of serious punishment (Sorry, an "Informal approach" -whatever that is- by social services likely won't accomplish a damn thing), drives home the point to these girls, and others, that falsely accusing someone of rape/sexual assault, is not a punishable crime.
And yet, those in law enforcement can't figure out why they are seeing a rise in the number of false accusations? Really?
AFOR,
If you can find a link to that information, I would appreciate it.
AfOR - "I simply cannot stress that point enough.
"Fuck it, I'm going to win, or go down in flames trying."
That is you ONLY way through."
Sadly, there are no hypertext markups for a standing ovation.
I was wrong
10 and 11 y.o.

The couple moved from Bolton to Accrington in June and befriended two girls aged ten and 11 who asked if they could walk their dog.
A couple of weeks later one of the girls asked Mr Davies if she could sleep over at his house but he refused.
In August the girls made complaints to the police claiming Mr Davies had exposed himself to them and indecently touched them.

I notice most of the comments are outraged that this woman was sentenced to 2 years for this.
I bet if the genders were reversed though every other comment would be about gutting the guy's D#$% off.
should read cutting not gutting but same thing really!
I'm probably going to catch some flak for this, but the fact that they are 10 and 11 doesn't mean a thing to me. They are old enough to know what their accusation would cause. If they know the damage that will occur, they are old enough to face the consequences.
"Two girls alleged Bryan Davies, 63, had sexually touched them in August - but police found their claims were false and had no foundation".
WHAT!? You have GOT to be kidding!
We ALL KNOW children never lie about such things ( sarcasm intended).
What awesome power any child can wield against an adult that can result in the death of the adult than that of accusing them of things that are depraved and disgusting. I wonder how proud the parents of these two "princesses" feel now.
Anon,
they will probably rationalise that he 'must have done SOMETHING to upset them, even if it wasn't what they said.'
they will probably rationalise that he 'must have done SOMETHING to upset them, even if it wasn't what they said.'
Of course something he did upset them. He wouldn't let them walk his dog or sleep over at his house. What else do you need to falsely accuse someone? /sarcasm off
afor- Thank you for your inspiration hun. I keep rereading your post in this thread and it is sinking in:) I am getting mad again!
((((hugs))))
