Make People Who Falsely Accuse Rape A Criminal Offence
Anyone who is caught falsely accusing rape should be given a prison sentence for their vile actions. These sick minded people need to be stopped. Putting innocent peoples life’s at risk. As well as turning the public against them. Let’s make this a law and stop the false rape allegations.
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 clear to us how you would like the law to be changed.
