I think we could use a little more moral panic about the actual number of people who are actually raped every year and maybe worry a little less about your proposed miniscule hypothetical

Also, learn to read: https://people.com/tv/kevin-spacey-controversy-timeline/

To replay your own argument: something tells me you wouldn't be so keen on that if you were the one being accused of a crime you had not committed.

Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Because I'm actually at extraordinarily high risk of that happening. I'm a nurse. That happens all the time to nurses.

Thorough investigations are done. And no, I don't worry about it. You know why? Because I'm not a fucking rapist sexual predator and everyone who knows me knows that.

You gotta wonder about people who are sooooooooooooo worried about being "falsely" accused of rape that they think false accusations are worthy of jail time. What exactly are you doing out there in the world that this is a major concern in your life? That you think it's even possible for your whole life to be ruined over a baseless accusation?

Because this is simply not something I worry about at all.

Also, maybe actually take ten seconds to read about this person. This was not one accusation, it was dozens in multiple countries spanning decades: https://people.com/tv/kevin-spacey-controversy-timeline/

You have zero empathy. I feel bad for your patients.

I also express little sympathy for people who worry more about the side effects of the Covid vaccine than they do about the negative effects of actual Covid. Because one of those things is an actual serious problem, and the other is a boogeyman used for political purposes.

Supported by data. You know, kind of like the difference between false accusations of rape and ACTUAL RAPE.

So yes, I am more concerned about actual rape. The thing that happens to orders of magnitude more people.
