Being falsely accused of rape is worse than being raped.
This is a hill I'm willing to die on.
When you are raped, everyone pities & support you & they do everything possible to help you heal.
But when you are falsely accused of rape, even though you might be found innocent later on, the stain remains forever.
Most won't remember that you are innocent, they will keep on calling you a rapist until you die. And you will lose a lot of opportunities because no one wants to be associated with you.
When you are not found innocent, you are fucked. Because you will spend a large chunk of your life in prison (if not all) and there's nothing you can do about it but pray.
