“Court documents state the woman told friends about her date and consensual sex and only went to the police after being ‘guilted’ by her roommate. The suit claimed the investigator had evidence contradicting the woman’s statement and also lacked sufficient evidence to back up the claim,” WCSC reported.

Despite this, police arrested the man, who later sued, claiming police didn’t thoroughly investigate the woman’s claims before arresting him.

The College of Charleston student faced up to 10 years in prison. After a four-day trial in November 2017, WCSC reported, the man was found not guilty. He then sued the city, using testimony from one of the investigating detectives given during his criminal trial.

He should have gotten shot by a cop while in the commission of a crime. He'd have gotten a much bigger payday.

And we don't have the woman's name and she isn't in jail for filing a false report. The taxpayers paid up and the woman walks away.
Why didn't this woman face a possible ten years.

And since there is little disincentive to make false accusations we can expect to see many more fake crimes.

The person who makes a false statement to convict an innocent person should serve the same amouunt of time that person would have served if found guilty.
