I'm glad to see the judge is worried, not about the immediate victim of the false claim, but of the possible, hypothetical rape victim. A young man and his family were forced to live a nightmare for three months because of this woman's lie.
And now we have judges who are spouting stats that are so out of line with reality, it makes one shudder. 1 in 13? Really? Funny, everything I've read says that of cases that go to trial, 41% end in conviction. How does that correlate with 1 in 13?
Kirsty Moir sentneced to 9 months in custody
A teenager, whose false rape claim ran up a £100,000 police bill, has been sentenced to nine months in youth custody.
Kirsty Moir, 18, told police she was dragged into a park in Darlington by a stranger she met in a nightclub taxi queue and raped in a bandstand.
But Teesside Crown Court was told on Monday that Moir willingly had sex twice in the bandstand and back at the home of supermarket worker James Alleyne.
Police raided the home of 19-year-old Mr Alleyne after the allegations were made and his solicitor told him he faced a possible life jail sentence.
Real rape victims
County Durham police launched a massive hunt codenamed Operation Archery, which involved 800 man-hours.
Mr Alleyne and his parents in Darlington lived a nightmare for three months until Moir confessed it had been consensual sex.
Judge Guy Whitburn QC told Moir her actions could wreck the claims of real rape victims where the conviction rate used to be 1-in-3 but was now 1-in-13.
Moir, of Phoenix Place, Newton Aycliffe, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of public justice between 21 April and 19 July 2002.

Has there ever been a documented false rape case where the false accuser was sentenced and the judge's explanation primarily referred to the very real effect on the falsely accused rather than some hypothetical effect on future rape victims? Ever?
Who wins? Really, who wins in a situation like this? Due to false allegations because the legislature is willing to believe one gender over another, we all lose. I'm not a lawyer so I really have no idea, but don't actual rape allegations get bogged down in red tape because of situations such as these? Now we have men who won't assist real people in need when the situation arises?
The laws seem to bend to women because men are always "perverts" just waiting for their chance to offend? Everyone needs to realize the real damage this situation causes, but at the end of the day, no one will come to this conclusion until it is far too late!! Men do not band together as women do. Men do not form associations to make a statement politically. There will be no large Men's Rights Movement in reality. No large protests, rallies, you get the picture. I could be wrong, but I find that men make their statements with actions, or maybe the lack therof. Such as self-protection, self preservation, quiet movements where they (we) abandon certain positions long held in society and their statements are made by their absence.
The conclusion of this 'movement' won't be enjoyed by society by and large, that I will bet money on!! Then and only then will all of us realize what role men played in the stage of society. Will it be too late? Does anyone know?
Who wins?

Law enforcement and the state also win.
After 40 years, academic feminism has infiltrated into the general maintream. It is an intrical part of the legal system. VAWA is unconstitutional. Feminism today is an organized religion. This non-native weed that has taken control must be fought!
