Barrow Woman Guilty Of False Rape Claims : Implications Of This/Similar Cases

[Chekhov]

I am surprised this has not got a thread on here :

 

Eleanor Williams: Barrow woman guilty of false rape claims

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-64151441

 

The worrying point here is that when people say we should increase the percentage of rape cases resulting in a guilty verdict that  can only be done by lowering the burden of proof on the accused.....

I've said that for a long while. Usually ends up in me being called a rape apologist or some other ridiculous label.

How stupid of me for not looking at a thread started in Nov 2021 about a different subject which already has 32 pages !

Exactly.

These people effectively asking for the burden of proof  in rape cases to be lowered should be ashamed of themselves. I would also point out that when they are interviewed the interviewers rarely (if ever) point out that they are effectively asking for a lowering of the burden of proof on the accused and how can they justify that ?

I agree.

I think I’ll just say that maybe rape cases should be investigated much more thoroughly. And that we need more of them to result in convictions of rapists.

 

Then, I’ll leave the divergent thinkers to it.

I honestly believe both parties involved should remain anonymous until a decision  is reached .

I don’t disagree with that.

 

There might be occasions where it is necessary to release the name of the accused, but in general I think that both parties should be kept anonymous.
