'VERNON — A University of Connecticut student accused of falsely claiming she was raped had her charges dismissed Wednesday in Superior Court in Rockville.

Isabella Himmel of Chicago was arrested in September 2012 and charged with second-degree falsely reporting an incident, second-degree making a false statement and second-degree breach of peace.

She was accepted into a diversionary program a year ago; the program required her to write a letter of apology to UConn's police chief, make a $500 charitable donation and do community service. If she completed the program successfully, she was told, the charges would be dropped.

"I was pleased today that the court did dismiss the charges against my client," her lawyer, Richard Brown, said Wednesday. "At no time did she make any admissions of any wrongdoing in the matter."
...
The university issued an emergency announcement to more than 30,000 students, faculty members and other staff warning that police were investigating a report of an aggravated sex assault.'

I think the punishment for falsely accusing someone of rape should be to have the false accuser's picture placed on a poster along with their name and a caption to the effect of "child molester". Then these posters should be plastered everywhere. That would make it so the false accusers would have to live the nightmare they made of their victim's life.
