Sometimes though the damage is done then, once the Police start investigating a rape charge,they really usually go at it,the guy has to explain what is going on and he could lose his job and find hostility from others too until the accuser admits they were wrong.
I think very few do falsely accuse someone of rape but sadly one is even too many and I would throw every book imagineable at them for doing so.

Oh yeah absolutely, It's an awful thing to do to anyone and their life can be destroyed because of it but on the flip side I would imagine that there are a hell of lot more cases where a girl is actually raped but loses the case because it boils down to her word against his and can't prove it. And many more cases again where it's not even reported to the police because the girl is too afraid or embarrassed by it.
