It should be illegal for anyone to falsely accuse another for sexual assault. So many have ruined their lives and reputations going through this process and the person that made the accusation just walks away. I understand that it may discourage the real victims from coming forward, however there should be some repercussions when there is evidence that supports the falsely accused statement.
If the accused has served time in prison and later released due to new evidence that proves his/her innocence, they should receive some kind of compensation.
