genuine question, am i in the wrong?
Getting absolutely flamed in the replies right now but I don't see how what i said is wrong. Context : a teen girl in kerala falsely accused a bunch of boys of raping her. DNA evidence proved that she didn't experience rape and then she came clean.
Now, I don't support the girl for lying at all. She is absolutely in the wrong. Legitimate victims already have a hard time getting people to even believe them. They get dismissed for not having enough evidence or whatever. People like this girl will make that so much worse.
All i'm saying is this - imagine you're an actual victim of sexual abuse. You finally garner the courage to come forward but you're met with disbelief and neutrality. People either don't believe you or are like 'the alleged perpetrator is innocent until proven guilty'. How would you feel?
Neutrality supports the criminal! I would rather unintentionally support a liar than an actual rapist! This does not mean i think false accusations are not a serious offence. Or that i would take it lightly if a loved one gets falsely accused!
