Woman faces perjury charge for allegedly lying about rape

Story here.

'Earlene Rogers, 18, was indicted by a grand jury in Kirksville because she allegedly lied under oath. Specifically, she accused two men of raping and sodomizing her -- then, after the men spent eight months in jail, withdrew the charges. The county prosecutor accuses Rogers of lying when she made the original report.

Oh, and here's an eye-opener of a quote:

“The state can prove a sex crime merely by the allegation of the victim. You don't really need any evidence, you don't need any eyewitnesses. It's just whether or not a judge or jury would believe that witness. And so if the victim then under what we believe falsely accuses somebody there has to be accountability towards that person,” said Adair County Prosecutor Mark Williams.'
