The atrocity chronicled in the news account below requires no commentary. We would note, however, that the teen girl who destroyed a man's life received a slap on the wrist, and the detective seems to think the principal harm of this terrible deed was to genuine rape victims and to the police, for wasting their time. Mere anger is not sufficient; we need to be outraged, and we need to demand that the falsely accused stopped being treated as collateral damage in the war on rape. Law enforcement cannot be excused -- they are complicit in the wrong here. If a girl lies about sexual assault, the presumptively innocent need to rely on the police not to destroy their lives as they investigate the allegation.
Here is the news story:
Teenager who lied about sex attack sentenced
A teenage girl who lied about being sexually abused has been sentenced.
The 17-year-old girl, from the Rochdale area, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice at an earlier hearing.
She was given an 11 month referral order at Rochdale Magistrates' Court yesterday (3 August).
On 6 February 2010, the girl reported to Greater Manchester that she had been sexually assaulted and named her alleged 'attacker' who was then arrested. He was taken to a police station and questioned, and because he did not speak any English translators had to be brought in.
A total of four detectives, a uniformed officer, custody officers, a custody sergeant, a GMP interpreter, language line interpreter and legal aid solicitor were all involved at this point.
The man was eventually charged and bailed, and as part of his bail conditions had to leave his wife and family and move to an address outside Greater Manchester.
On 7 March 2010, teenager alleged the man had broken his bail conditions and intimidated her. He was subsequently arrested, charged and bailed.
His total time in custody - police, court and prison - equated to about six days and four hours and he spent 79 days on bail living away from his town and family.
On Tuesday 20 April 2010, Greater Manchester Police were called to the teenager's home for an unrelated matter during which she admitted she had lied about both allegations.
Detective Constable Ben Harris, of Rochdale CID, said: "Greater Manchester Police encourages anyone who has been a victim of rape or any sort of sexual abuse to come forward. We treat every allegation seriously and will investigate thoroughly and without any prejudice.
"However, we must also treat lying to the police about such an awful crime equally seriously. Unfortunately, false allegations make a mockery of the experiences suffered by genuine victims.
"In investigating this false claim, officers wasted countless hours interviewing witnesses and on paperwork when they could have been on the streets doing real police work.
"Not only that, but the man she alleged was responsible had to spend nearly three months in and out of custody cells and away from his family, wrongly accused of offences he did not commit. Unfairly, he has put through a tremendous amount of stress when he is completely innocent."

Five months, 9 days incarceration for my husband.
Accuser has been blackmailing/framing for a while now. We just recently found out my husband is #8 possibly #9 on her victim list. We know of 8 for sure.
Falsifying a rape is seen as an opportunity and a liberty by today's young idealistic women. This is fallout from 40 years of leftist academic feminism.
This twisted mindset must stop!
Fight for stronger laws against false rape accusers!
Vote against politicians who don't take false rape seriously!
Get involved people. Do research, find out what the local politicians in your area are going to do about false rape. Then organize protests and get people to vote! We need to protest to get our voices heard! Don't give up and don't forget to vote!
One of the reasons we have laws is so that an impartial State will administer vengeance. When man was living under more primitive conditions where there was no real government if someone killed or injured one of your kinsmen or friends you would take revenge on the culprit. Of course then they would retaliate and it would go back and forth and you'd be living in a chaotic and dangerous society. The State MUST punish these female evildoers or we may very well go back to individuals seeking their own revenge when they are wronged.In fact, I'm surprised that it doesn't happen all the time. Perhaps these false accusers have a sense of knowing who the harmless men are because I've never heard of any Russian or Sicilian Mafia members being accused of rape. Even if they arrested one of them the girl would have to worry about having her throat cut by one of his henchmen.
