Yes, that is how it works. They will be in prison the next day.
It's actually really easy. All you have to do is prepare some evidence, such as text messages and emails in 2002.
Then you need to have several really cool and chill interviews with detectives. You should get your family and friends to lie to the police as well -- tell them to say that you described the fabricated rape to them way back in 2002.
You should also make up some fake police reports from 2002 which were not pursued.
The real trick though is getting several other women to do the same thing.
Then yeah, the next day the police will arrest the person you've accused and they will be jailed without trial.
You're a fucking idiot.
LOL goddamn
He was charged, not found guilty yet, a charge doesn't automatically mean you're guilty. You should wait for criminal proceedings to end before declaring he did it. So many people are quick to presume the guilt or innocence of people who were charged before they're even convicted.
Relax buddy. He was asking a genuine question, not doubting the victim.
Yeah, it was a genuinely dumb question.
Edit: also, this wasn't a genuine question. Read it again, the poster makes a bunch of ridiculous assumptions to frame this as an absurd scenario. People who ask questions like this aren't doing it in good faith, and they should be told to fuck off with prejudice.
You. I like you. Keep doing what you're doing. 💛
Idk, you look a little rapey to me.
Yeah, he's just asking questions, what's the big deal?
Sounds like a lot of not evidence to me. Also, probably bring it up sooner.
I imagine in the case of a false rape accusation, not only Lemmy would jump to this guy's defense, but the accusation will totally not fuck this guy's life forever
