Story here. Excerpt:

'A man who lost his job after being falsely accused of a horrific sex crime has been found hanged in a shed.

Ian Adams, 51, was suspended and then sacked from his job at a local IKEA store after his employers received a letter saying he had raped a woman and her two children.

The writer claimed to be a journalist on a local newspaper, but the name and address in the letter were false and the author has never been traced.

Police confirmed that Mr Adams, from Highams Park East, London, had never been arrested or convicted of a sexual offence or had any complaints made against him.

Mr Adams' life went downhill as he struggled to recover from the accusations.

He failed to get his job back after being sacked in January. His drinking led to problems with his partner and he spent the last few nights of his life sleeping in a storage shed at the bottom of the block of flats in which he lived.'

Rape victims often do self destructive things to themselves when the crime committed against them is more or less ignored by the authorities and society as in this tragic case.

When are they going to persecute false sexual abuse allegations? They are clearly destroying men's lives, and driving them to suicide. This isn't the first time this has happened. Well, at least the bitch who falsely accused him is going to have live with the guilt of this for the rest of her life, granted she has enough of a conscience to even realize that what she did ended a life.

Innocent men suffer. What's new?

This has been going on for sometime now. Even before feminism came along women had the klan.
