Story here. Excerpt:
'A Tippah County woman could face jail time for crying rape when it never really happened.
The initial report put law officers in at least two counties on alert and ran up huge investigative bills, until the victim recanted.
Investigators won't identify the woman but they have a lot to say about the seriousness of the false claim.
The rape report, a few weeks ago, put every law officer in Tippah County, and a few from out out of town on the streets to look for suspects.
Crimestoppers offered a $6,000 reward.
Investigators had just one problem, the report was a lie.
"Just a classic case of the shepherd boy crying wolf. Everybody came to the rescue," said District Attorney Ben Creekmore.'

Is it me?
Is it me or, has falsely accusing men and boys of rape now considered the "in" thing for women and girls to do? I think every woman,and girl, who falsely accuses any man of rape should be made to serve the sentence that would have been given to the man,plus any and all jail time.
making false accusations
by women, and girls, against men and boys has been
going on forever. it's just that now we have a way
to report these common happenings to a larger audience.
what's the number of men freed by the Innocence Project,
closing on 230? with the average time served at 12 years?
these are just those men who, pretty much by accident, had their
d.n.a. saved over the years. how many men have died for these lies?
oh yeah, "these times they are a changing". and what goes around ...
