False accusation of rape "destroyed" acquitted Waikato man

A man from the central North Island township of Mangakino says a false accusation of rape levelled against him is a stigma he will never be able to shake.

Even if she is charged, do you reckon she'd a) be found guilty? or b) receive an appropriate sentence for such a verdict?

Interesting point, actually . What bearing would her minor status have on this?

And hina...

Mangakino...

Have to agree with you there mate. Horrid place!

So her age protects her from false complaint charges

I can't understand that when minors are incarcerated anyway.

the man should also be reinbursed for his confinement time, loss of income anad mental suffering

Not to mention the loss to his wife and family.

Might've been better if he had died in a car accident. Better for the system.

After all, Jim Bolger did tell the vets they had lived too long.

It would be great for the man to sue the state(so to speak)for such irreparable damage. He was unjustly accused, unjustly incarcerated for a crime he did not commit.

He was imprisioned based on false perjuous... testimony of a minor who in this case, by virtue of the adjudicative system demonstrates that HER civil and constitutional rights far outweigh in importance.....that of the man. This man who is the TRUE victim of this incident.

Another clear example of how the adjudicative process.... judicial system has FAILED a citizen. How sad. How tragic it really is that law enforcement, the courts...the system itself are unraveling before our very eyes. Who is to be held accountable for a system that places the innocent in jail and sets the guilty and menace of society on the streets?

What appeal of restitution can this wronged man and his family seek? What does the system itself propose to do, in order to restore his good name?
