Subject: Woman arrested for blackmailing men w/ false rape claim; gay U.S. soldier outs self to avoid false rape claim

Here are a few stories of alleged false rape claims in the media this month. In India, a woman was just arrested for allegedly blackmailing men with false rape claims. A gay U.S. soldier allegedly had to out himself to avoid a false rape claim. And more. These need to be publicized due to the imbalanced public policies of protecting only the names of the accusers but not the accused, refusing to prosecute false accusers out of purported fear of deterring victim reports, pretending false rape claims are rare, and negleting the issue as a whole.
