UK: Woman loses appeal over false rape accusation conviction

Article here. Excerpt:

'An appeal court has backed the 10-year jail term given to a fantasist who made false rape allegations against a series of men and thrown out her claims she was wrongly convicted. 

Jemma Beale , from Bedfont, west London, was handed the prison sentence for perverting the course of justice and perjury after she made fake sex attack claims against 15 men - one of whom was jailed for two years and another fled the country.

The 27-year-old however continues to protest her innocence and today asked senior judges to overturn her conviction.

Her lawyers told the Court of Appeal that the judge hadn't warned the jury about the 'myths and stereotypes' which swirl around false rape claim cases. 

They also claimed, even if she was guilty, she should have been given a shorter sentence because she had been abused as a child.

But Lady Justice Hallett, one of England's most senior female judges, was one of three judges who dismissed both of the appeals and sent Beale back to prison.'

this happens all the time in the u.s. NOT! ahh, but we can only dream. not only are 'false accusation' prosecutions rarely pursued, even if found guilty the penalty amounts to nothing but a slap on the wrist, for a woman.

you have to commend the brits, for once. they are trying to put a stop to what could easily get out of hand, as the recent spat of false accusations around election time here in the u.s. has proven. however, the populace has become so dumbed-down that even whispers by one's enemies 'under the covers', so to speak, of accusations of things like rape and child molestation can destroy any man's life. its the quiet silver bullet men and women can use to defame even the best of men. the real beauty of it is that the guy being whispered about sometimes doesn't even know he has been slimed, or by whom. what a country the evil feminists have turned us into.
