What were the circumstances of the rape? Was the woman drugged? drunk? Was it at night? I'm not going into any detail here but I'm fully aware how difficult it is to figure out what happened the night of a sexual assault. Now, if she didn't believe the man to be her attacker and she bore false testimony against him, that's truly outraged and should be punished. But if in the course of the investigation she became convinced it was him? I'm less sure there is a case. Who knows though, I'm no lawyer.

Do you know she didn't lie? And if she couldn't identify the person but still did, what does that mean? She didn't say I don't know if it's not him, she said it's him.
Even if she didn't know, she still put a man in prison and caused damage to the state while taxpayers footed the bill.
And so what if the victim doesn't want to press charges (the state should in any case). I mean hey Dr. K still killed people even though they gave their permission, and Dr. K was tried in a court.
