Story here. Excerpt:

'For the second time in five months, a Muncie woman has been accused of lodging a false rape accusation against a male acquaintance.

Amber May Foster, 22, 221 N. Hackley St., early Wednesday gave police a signed statement alleging that a male roommate had tried to sexually assault her.

However, under further questioning, Foster admitted that she and her boyfriend had made up the allegation after the roommate had "accused one of them of stealing food from him," according to Amoreena Kessler, a city police officer.

Foster and Michael Anthony Franks, 23, same address, were preliminarily charged with false reporting, a Class D felony carrying a standard 18-month prison term.

Foster was also charged with false informing last November after police said she had falsely claimed an ex-boyfriend had raped her.'

I would put my money on her lawyer successfully arguing this girl has a mental illness that causes her to file all these false reports (never mind that the false reports have a more severe affect on her male victims then the extremely rare brutal rape on a female victim) and she'll get some counseling.

The boyfriend will get those 18 months in prison and that class D felony on his record even though it was likely her sick brain that came up with the idea to have their room mate charged with rape because he was trying to figure out where his food was disappearing to.

The man falsely accused will be left devastated with no help from anyone at all to deal with the fact that everything he ever believed about how the justice system works and his complete loss of faith in the female half of the species. No victim services available for him cause he should just do what men do and get over it after all. Right?
