Suicides from false accusations ruining people's lives are not rare and had a huge uptick during the MeToo movement, especially in the US. Anonymity should be the most important thing for any case.

A few years ago in the ACT...

The former corrections officer was remanded in custody and spent nearly four months in Goulburn jail before the charges were dropped

"I'm not the man I was before'

In an emotional court appearance, the formerly jailed man read out a victim impact statement saying he had lost everything.

"There were times when I considered ending it all," he told the court.

The false accuser only got 3 years. Orchestrating, making a fake crime scene, dragging a person through jail and court, trying to destroy them completely, and almost got as far as causing suicide. Just 3 years. Like, someone can murder someone, but it takes a special sick and dangerous mind to cause someone to kill themself instead or have their life taken from them through prison and record. And only 3 years.

No one can weigh up which is worse, but rape and false accusations of rape are clearly life destroying actions on an innocent person. Only the sickest of minds would do either.
