And a lot of young girls all over the country just got reminded of how easy it is to get rid of your father or step father when he wont buy you that pony....
If you even hint at child molestation, the person who is hinted at is screwed forever. Some people out there are probably enraged right now because they think the young woman is repressing her memories and he actually did rape her and is now getting off. He better change his name and run away fast, or some crazy bastard is going to kill him.

Doesn't NOT punishing this girl simply encourage more people to falsely accuse people of heinous crimes?
I don't think too many 11 year olds are going to see this story and think "oh! I'll do that too! And they won't punish me if I just wait 10 years and then confess on my own!"
It is really a pretty unique set of circumstances. The message sent by punishing her for finally coming clean and getting the innocent guy out is worse than the message sent by not punishing her.
It would be very different if she had been older at the time or if they had found out some other way.
Where did officials cite the liar's age as a reason behind their decision not to file charges? Neither her age nor the uniqueness of the circumstances were mentioned.

Nowhere lol.
The reality is that an indictment of this woman is an indictment of the entire American judicial system.

Uh it says right in your article that they don't want to prosecute her because of fears of what message it might send to "people in similar circumstances."
I'm sorry you can't read.

You ought to be careful. You can injure yourself reaching that far... shouldn't overdo it with the stretching.

Who is "people in similar circumstances"? Someone who didn't rape anyone?

DA has a web page with contact info... feel free to email or call to express your dislike of the situation..
It is a bad situation... but to let her walk away without even a blemish on her record seems... really wrong.

There are a lot of years between 17 and 23.
So where's the cuttoff? If you wait until 19 is that too late?
If age is the excuse, once you hit the age of majority (usually 17 or 18) that excuse you're eager to throw around goes away.
Maybe 49? Is that how old Clinton was when he perjured himself?
Where's the line?
Hell. Let's just toss the system altogether. We know it's all just a matter of style and entertainment anyway. Like Project Runway osementhe.
Is it any wonder why otherwise solid citizens throw away their lives shooting criminals on the courthouse steps?

It's impossible to repay this man for what has been done to him, however it should start with:
1) Totally fresh identity on the order of witness protection program - he will need this in order to live in peace.
2) His name expunged from all official court and prison records involving this case.
3) Financial compensation such that he is afforded a very comfortable lifestyle for the rest of his life - I am thinking a very nice house in a different place, and an income on the order of $100k annually for life.
4) Health insurance covered for life which includes psychiatric counseling and therapy to help him cope with having just spent the last 10 years in Hell on Earth.
That'd be a start...
