[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 895659, member: 72520"] So should they be found innocent, what do people think should happen in regards to the complainant? I know that nothing will happen to her but I am of the opinion that those who falsely accuse people should face some punishment themselves. In this case, even if found innocent, as people have pointed out it’s likely to ruin the careers of Olding and Jackson in Ireland, entirely unfairly if innocent. Obviously it is a risky business as people can be found innocent and still have committed the crime, just due to a lack of evidence, so for me it’s a case of where the line is drawn as it could potentially put off women who have legitimately been assaulted for fear of being persecuted. But something does have to be done, it’s effectively slander with no repurcussions. [/QUOTE]
