Article here. What man would be given such leniency? Excerpt:

'An Ontario woman who made up a story that her ex-spouse had choked and tried to rape her is going to jail.

Jennifer Gauthier’s lies in September 2015 landed her ex-spouse in jail for 19 days, before she recanted her claim, court was told Wednesday.

“When you did what you did, you not only hurt (the ex-spouse), you hurt every real victim out there, every real complainant,” Ontario Court Justice Karen Lische told Gauthier, as she issued a 60-day sentence.
...
“Quite frankly, I feel the Crown’s position of 60 days jail is a very lenient one.”
...
“A totally innocent man spent 19 days in jail,” Assistant Crown attorney Radbert Pe said. “This is essentially an attack on the justice system.”'

She should have been given the same sentence he would have been given if he had been wrongfully convicted.

I hope eventually society wakes up to see that this is the only logical deterrent to stop false rape claims.
