Woman made false rape claim after victim rejected her sexual advances

Last year, Lisa Wright, 20, of  Inverness (a city in the Scottish Highlands), asked a man if she could stay at his house for reasons the newspaper account doesn't explain.  The man made up a bed on his couch for her in the living room. Apparently, she had other ideas.  Wright had made a "sexual advance" on the man, which he twice rejected.

The spurned Ms. Wright stormed out of the house and later told two female police officers that the man had indecently assaulted her and forced her to smoke heroin.

Police officers had concerns about her claims, the newspaper account reveals, and Wright confessed to making them up four days later.

Sheriff Neilson said the offence had no doubt led to significant distress and upset to the accused man, and cost to the public purse.  Her sentence? 210 hours of community service.  Apparently the "significant distress and upset" doesn't warrant a serious sentence.

Men are constantly told that "no means no." Women should hear the same message. And when a man says "no," they shouldn't think it is their right to make a false rape claim to get even with him. Unfortunately, the sentence imposed here won't deter women from lying about rape.

Men are not even safe in the Highlands anymore. Throw her into the deepest loch.

Community service for a FRA, if the man in this case was convicted = Life in Prison. Talk about a bogus legal system.

What is it with woman and getting shot down when looking for sex? Any man who doesn't deal with rejection perfectly calmly is ridiculed at best and arrested at worst, but most women seem think it's a terrible sin for a man to refuse their advances. How screwed up is that?

Don't recall this one on the FRS?
42yo man gives 16yo girl a room -
\\
... Murray maintained that she had agreed to sex up to six times and only later ‘cried rape’ after he told her a condom had split and she should take the morning-after pill.
\\
After a week-long trial at Oxford Crown Court, the jury took only 57 minutes to find him not guilty.

This kind of woman should be jailed for life, they discredit all the women who are really raped and suffer hell while their rapists go unpunished.
Although I can assure you that in the Highlands police forces and PFs try to jail you even if you're saying the truth. I'm sad that the 6% of women who lie about being raped end up on a front cover of a paper and the 94% who say the truth are never take into consideration.
