Jail women for falsely accusing men of rape
I believe that it isn't fair for men to go to jail or have their lives ruined for being falsely accused of rape. The same rules should apply for the women in which are accusing them of it. Women who falsely accuse men should get a jail sentence the same as what the man would have got for doing so.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Making a false allegation of a crime may already in some circumstances lead to a jail sentence - for example, if someone is found guilty of perverting the course of justice. In other cases, people who are accused of making false accusations may be prosecuted for wasting police time.
It is not therefore clear to us how you would like the law to be changed.
You may find this guidance from the Crown Prosecution Service helpful:
