Prosecution of false accuser in rape case seen as difficult

Article here. Excerpt:

'A day after a former high school football star had his rape conviction dismissed, attention focused on the woman who recanted the sexual assault claim she made 10 years ago.

Wanetta Gibson was a high school sophomore when she accused Brian Banks of raping her at Long Beach Poly High School. She and her family sued the school, receiving a $750,000 settlement, and Banks spent five years in prison after pleading no contest to forcible rape.

Even though a judge tossed out the rape charge Thursday, it remains far from certain whether Gibson, 24, will face any consequences.'

not going to prosecute any of these women for ruining men's lives? putting innocent men in prison for decades on a whim? no penalties, or maybe filing a false police report, $50 fine?

i see all is normal w/ the u.s. system of 'justice'. think karma doesn't work against you? eric holder is the head of the 'justice dept.' in this country. hundreds dead from arms dealing to try to gut the 2nd amendment (fast & furious), and nobody cares.

we are really screwed.

Give her five years and charge her the $750K with interest.

She ruined someone's life. She needs to do hard time for that.
